Good afternoon!

We have a "Compound Kitty" here. The security guys took her to a local vet and got her her shots. (Yes, they have vets here and I was kind of surprised, too...LOL)

Then, a couple of weeks ago, they took her to get spayed and found out...ooooops...she's preggers. So we're going to have Compound Kittens running around here soon.

The vet said to bring Compound Kitty back when her kittens are about seven or eight weeks old and they can spay her then.

Anybody want an Iraqi kitten?

Who's The Daddy ? ROFLOL.

I am down to one kitty. It is tempting but too much on Houston to get him a new playmate at his age. He has been acting like a little baby lately.

Hi Allegra,

Forgive my ignorance but you are in Iraq? Where in Iraq? Good luck with the kitty mom. I am a veterinary technician in the great state of Tennessee. I highly recommend you having her spayed as soon as she has recovered from having kittens. She'll come back into heat before she is even finished nursing/weaning the babies and then you'll have more kittens.... (I see an analogy to terrorist here somewhere.....)

Thank you for serving our country. I have a nephew in Arizona that is going to be deployed in September to Qatar. He'll be guarding prisoners or something like that.

Good luck with the kitties.

God Bless You!

When my Dad served in the Navy in WWII they had a ship's cat who had kittens while they were at sea. To hear my Dad talk, the cat and her kittens were a very bright spot in a difficult time and place. Sounds like it for you too. My best wishes to all of you!

I'll take an Iraqi kitten.

What would Finbar think?

[Not A Snowbird]

I'll take two Iraqi kittens to go.

Anybody want an Iraqi kitten?

Want me to put out a kitty ping?

I was just a kitten, don't you see?
When a big calloused hand reached down and rescued me
It pulled me from the rubble and we met eye-to eye
A dark haired human, who said "How you doin', lil guy?"

He slipped inside his warm sweaty vest
While pops and loud bangs echoed outside my nest
It felt so safe, I don't know why
As he took me back to the tent to meet the guys

Hands, feet and faces as far as I could see
While I was fed cool water and mushed up MREs
So many laughs and smiles so wide
I was just a kitten, but it tickled my pride

I was slipped in a boot for the Sergeant's Inspection
They were hiding me from his ominous rejection
Until the super high sound before a mortar attack
When we ran to the shelter and crouched back to back

I was petted, passed around and kneaded as the bombs went off
And then I felt strange hands. Heard an unfamiliar cough
I looked up as the Sergeant looked down
His smile was as white and big as a clown's

So, now I'm a Mascot, all vetted and primed
I even have a family to live with when we've all done our time
The Great Cat Up Above certainly looked out for me
In return, I have a litter of guys to get home, don't you see?

I had to put one of my cats down week before last. Down to one senior citizen cat. An Iraqi kitten sounds like a good idea!!!
