Step 4: Write a Blog with a Kitten in Your Lap

My sister's kitten, Radon (who I mentioned in Step 2), is staying at my house for a little while, and as I typed the post on my main page (Step 19: Feel Like a True Professional) he fell asleep on a pillow in my lap with his head tucked into the crook of my left arm. Good thing it wasn't my right because writing these blogs have been hard enough (but well worth it ^-^)

Step 3: Donate Old Towels to the Humane Society (Or at Least Try)






My mom and I have a BUNCH of old towels that we don't use anymore, and we thought it might be nice to donate them to the humane society. Our own cats thought differently.

Peri's the little black baby of the bunch, and he initiated the basket take-over. Arlo (the grey tabby) and Chrissy (the grey calico) followed Peri's lead, and by the time we were ready to take the basket my baby Olivar (the orange tabby) was all comfy cozy. We managed to slip a few towels out from under him and decided to leave the rest as a donation to our crazy cat ladies fund. :3

Step 2: Take Your Sister's Kitten to the Vet

Don't worry, Atisha the dog isn't hurting Raydon the kitten - they love to play with each other! Sometimes, the kitten will actually wear-out this pup, and that's saying something for Atisha!

Just a little background on Raydon - he's one of the rescued kittens that I talked about on my main blog site way back in May. Yup, my sister was a foster failure. My mom and I have already been foster failures once, so we couldn't afford to be foster failures again, but my sister had been interested in getting a kitten for some time now, and of the five kittens that stayed at her house she grew a deep attachment to Raydon, the smallest and sickest of the bunch.

Now he's one of the biggest and pretty healthy (though he still has goopy eyes), and it's time for his vaccinations! We took him to this awesome veterinary clinic, West Michigan Street Veterinary Clinic. The prices are amazing (only $25 for the office visit, and this fee's waved if you're just getting vaccinations like Raydon was), the staff is nice, and the vet is a really knowledgeable man. This is actually the same clinic that we brought the original three litters to, and they've been great ever since that first visit. I highly recommend taking your pets to this clinic.

Oh, and if you're wondering what happened to the rest of the kittens and the two mamas that we had - the five older kittens (Raydon included) have all found their forever homes, the two other litters went to the humane society after they started looking a little healthier, and one of the moms has already been adopted (the other mom and the babies are actually still in foster care - they were still too young to be put up for adoption). So everyone's being taken care of and being loved. <3
