The kitten have been checked by the vet for their gender. I thought at first that there were 3 male kittens. But later on, they changed more and more. The swelling was gone and there were two girls more. So the vet confirmed my suspicions.
Now I know for sure that the litter consists out of 5 females and 1 male.

The kitten are trying to take the stap into the "new section" of the kitten cage. They are starting to play around with each other. And if you tickle on their tummy, they play with us to, ha ha.

Fortunately Jo-Jo is already getting better. She had a very hard time the first day and a half. But now it seems to go well.

25-05-2010

Jo-Jo had surgery again, unfortunately. The sterilization (castration actually) was not quite gone well the first time. There was a tiny piece of ovarian tissue left behind and that has become active again. So we had a cat in heat, and Erik was enjoying it of cause.

She is now recovering from major surgery. They had to look through her whole belly for a piece of tissue. The uterus has been taken away to, so there will be no problems in the future. We hope that she recovers again soon!

Today I went to the Felinotechnisch Symposium 2009 in Eindhoven. A big journey given the road closures, but very rewarding!
My knowledge has increased about the topics:
- Liability,
- the fertility of the cat,
- the difference between spraying and uncleanliness in cats,
- control of Filin infextieuze peritonitis (FIP) in a cattery,
- treatment options for skin fungal infections in cats.
All explained by nice expert speakers.
Am very curious what subjects they have next year .
