There's so much love coming from you, it's hard to keep up with it all! I'm reading all your comforting words on the blog, Facebook, Twitter and in emails too, but don't have time to respond to each one. Just wanted to let you know they've been received and are appreciated greatly.
So, how are the girls today?
On a scale of zero to ten, ten being hopeful and zero being hopeless, I'm somewhere between six and seven right now. Yesterday I was a nine.
They're showing some symptoms of the virus, diarrhea and vomiting, but these are also very common things for kittens of this age to experience, so there is a chance it could be unrelated. We'll just have to wait and see.
I know you all care so much about these girls and want to know what's going on with them. I'll do my best to update you, but right now, trying to see them through this is pretty consuming, and they are my number one priority. I will report when I can.
Thank you again for all the love,
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you are a special bunch of people. You are kind to the core and we appreciate you deeply.

Prayers and blessings for you all. So sorry about little Filbert, and hoping for the best for his two adorable sisters.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to these little ones, yesterday broke my heart :( xxx
ReplyDeleteAw little fluffsies <3
ReplyDeleteI want to cuddle them til they're all better.
When my cat gave birth the second time, her and all 5 of her kittens got crazy diarrhea and they had it for so long we were getting really worried about mummy and babies alike. They all pulled through though, so I'm touching wood for these little fluffsies too <3

ReplyDeleteLots of prayers being sent your way! Those darling baby girls are in loving hands. Just got done snuggling our first kitty who is now 15 and told her how grateful we are for her. Amazing what some of these babies must overcome. Lots of love to your little fluffballs!

ReplyDeleteWe're got behind a day, but we are so sorry to hear about little Fibert here. My 8 year old delighted that he was a cat with a nutty name and looked like a mini me of our big boy tabby who has lovely tummy markings too. I can't imagine how it must feel from your end. I'm so sorry. We're thinking happy thoughts the little girls stay healthy and happy.
ReplyDeleteI'll be keeping you and the girls in my thoughts, and I'll be holding my Gus and Gibson extra tight.
ReplyDeleteHere comes another wave of love and healing wishes for dear Wylla & Audrey. With them in your care, they will have the most love possible!
ReplyDeleteThey are in the best of hands. Prayers and good wishes coming your way, Laurie. Mary A
ReplyDeleteHang in there, baby girls.. Your brother Filbert is watching from the Rainbow Bridge with St Francis sending lots of healing energy for you.
ReplyDeleteSweet Little Nut, we know how lonely you are for your lovely sisters... but please can we keep them on this side of the Bridge? The wonderful people out here in Itty Bitty Kitty Land are just broken hearted since we lost you, our tiny, roly-poly stripey friend, and I fear we cannot withstand anymore sadness. Please guard your sisters with your itty bitty angel wings and give them the strength they need to fight, if necessary. Thank you, sweet Filbert, for watching over them, and your sweet foster mama, papa, and auntie Bean.
ReplyDeleteSending kitty purrs and good vibes to Audrey and Wylla. I was so saddened by the news of Filbert, and I really hope the girls get better.
ReplyDeleteGod I love this site. Anyone in need of empathy refreshers should be directed here immediately. So sorry and high hopes for the remaining little tiny fluff balls.
ReplyDeleteAww dang it. I just saw this about Filbert, I am so sorry. He was such a cutie.
ReplyDeleteSending the best get well kitten vibes to Audrey and Wylla ASAP. You don't worry about us out here, we will be fine. Do what you can to those 2 lovely little girls. ((HUGS))
Lots of hugs and prayers coming your way, please keep us updated when you can as we understand your very first priority is the fluffy little girls!
ReplyDelete♥♥ Here's to hoping it's just a little kitty cold and nothing serious! The power of the kitty blog followers are with you! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteWe all know you're doing your very best to take care of the girls, Laurie, and we also know that your very best is very, very good indeed. Thank you for sharing your real journey with the kittens with us -- I know that you usually don't mention the minor crud that most babies arrive with, but we all understand that it's not always sunshine and playtime. So please, as you focus on bringing the Stout girls back to health, know that there's an awful lot of people out here who are with you every step of the way! And we'll be continuing to send you and the whole household all the good vibes and healing thoughts we can.
ReplyDeleteSending healing thoughts and prayers for the girls! <3
ReplyDeleteI've loved your writing and photos for years. What you do inspired me when I took in a sick 10 day old. I also learned a lot through you about taking care of such a little guy. I understand the challenges with the sicker babies, thank you for taking on all these challenges. My guy's digestive system took many weeks to get working right, but now he's a 13 pounder :) They have great comfort and love in your care and I cheer you on.
ReplyDeleteI pray for their fast recovery. They are really cuties.
ReplyDeleteSo cute kittens! I'm hoping that they'll get well sooner.
ReplyDeletethe kittens are so adorable. I hope they feel better now.
ReplyDeleteKittens are so cute. I am very worried to their condition.
