Gaines is really different since Taj passed away...in a good way. He's certainly my little buddy now.

Toonces looked a bit like your Siamese. Gawd what a great cat he was.

I really love cats, but I won't get another one until someday when Gaines is gone. He seems to do much better as an only cat.

But it's hard, seeing pictures of kitties and baby kitties and kitties in the paper and kitties on my brother's "farm" and kitties kitties everywhere. I want them all!

I do too! I wish I lived in a house where I could build a proper outdoor enclosure. I'd have lots. As it is, two kitties in my small apt. seems the best amount.

"Miles", that's a great name for a cat!

Cloud · 03-11-2011, 08:44 AM

thanks! it's from my favorite book series. He had an Ivan to go with, but Ivan went.

Gravdigr · 03-11-2011, 01:33 PM

Ivan, he's the one who ran away? No postcards or nothing?

Cloud · 03-11-2011, 03:03 PM

sadly, no.

Mia, my Chihuahua wanted outside and I had to feed the baby calf. Maybe Mia thinks she is a big puppy, she wanted to play with her. I call the calf Navy. She is a blue roan and white. She has an iodine stain on her belly where we sprayed her umbilical cord after she was born. It will wear off. Behind her is a large igloo dog house, she can walk right in it! She is not tall enough to nurse her Mom so I have to feed her.

Do you feed her her mom's milk? Don't calves get most of their immune system and other stuff from mom's milk?

And Mom won't lay down? This seems like a very poor set of survival skills.

Cows haven't exactly been left to natural evolution for quite some time either. First domesticated around 8000BC according to wiki.

Sundae · 03-19-2011, 06:31 AM

Cows legs don't work like dogs' or cats'. When they lay down their udders are underneath them.
Preemie calves would not survuve, simple as.
Survival of the fittest, ya know.

Cute, cute pic BTW.
One thing I miss about not having a car is the occasional glimpse of Spring lambs.
Ooh! Maybe I'll see some from the train today!

Nirvana · 03-19-2011, 03:42 PM

We have some calves that nurse Mom laying down but a preemie chills easier and learns slower. At 5 days she is up to speed but may have been away from Mom too long. She weighs almost 38 lbs now and Mom weighs 1500lbs. Hate to have her lay on her.

skysidhe · 03-19-2011, 06:07 PM

oh baby....cow. I have cow love. Mia is awesome too.

Nirvana · 03-19-2011, 09:39 PM

She did have Mom's milk for 2 days. A calf has a stomach much like a mono gastric animal when they are born. After 12 hours they cannot adsorb any more colostrum antibodies[first milk] Now she has milk replacer. Yes I know how to milk a cow
