2 weeks ago we took the plunge and added 2 kittens to our family. Ben and I drove across town to the SPCA and chose a 5 month old B&W male and a 3 month old Tabby & White female. Very cute little things. The black and white kitten yowled yoyoyoyoyoyyo all the way home, so was named Yo-Yo by Ben. Joe named the girl Mini. Within 24 hours it was apparent that Mini was unwell. She was incontinent, listless and unresponsive. I took her to the vet who administered antibiotics. We gave her a couple of days but she was still listless and the incontinence was not improving, so we felt it was best to return her to the SPCA. Ben was really upset and we had to mop up tears. He chose another kitten to take home and Tom has joined the family. He is really tiny and it is estimated that he is about 8 weeks old. Unfortunately Yo-Yo and Tom came down with something too and they have just been on a course of antibiotics. They are now back to lively and inquisitive kittens and wreaking havoc in the house. Ella's nose is well out of joint and a little scratched too!
