They grow up so soon...

Jasmin is about four and a half months old--and has just gone on heat! This has never happened to a kitten of mine, and she's DRIVING ME SPARE! She's crying all the time, writhing all over the carpet--and me and the other cats if she can manage it--and sticking her bum and tail in the air. That sounds pretty conclusive to me, though I've never seen it before. Aaaargh!

How am I going to sleep tonight? And if course it would happen on a weekend--as cat emergencies always do--so I can't ring the vet till tomorrow, but I tell you, she's going in ASAP.

In other cat news, I have two Lonely Miaow foster homes to visit to see their (always neutered) cats. They were delighted that I wanted a 'teenager' rather than a small kitten, and apparently they have a selection of young cats from just older than Jasmin to 1-2 years old. One place has a little silver tabby. I always wanted a silver tabby. However I'll be going for personality and attraction to me, not looks.

My mother bred spaniels! She stopped though because she worried so much about where the puppies went if if they'd be happy, but the person with the stud doesn't have to.

I know! They're so beautiful! I'll have to see who likes me though.

Aww. I love spaniels. I think I'd be worried, too. It's not like you can check up on them from time to time! My mum-in-law had to have one of hers rehomed because of behavioural problems. Hopefully it worked out okay for him though.

Good luck finding a match!
