Kittens & Books || Weekend (ish) Reading Vlog

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Sleep deprived and trying to avoid my own kitten hunger games but here's the vlog XD

[@judithcakelover]

Did you name mama cat already?

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Not yet, I'm still thinking about it. I have until she gets her microchip to decide!

[@LuckySmellsBooks]

@@BookswithEmilyFox How about Katniss Everdene, (or maybe it's a bit de trop?)😹😼Whatever you name her, I am sure it will suit her beautifully!

[@CathenaReads]

dad of the year award. get a female cat pregnant, abandon her and when she's moved on and has a litter, he comes back to take a piss.... literally

[@arya0553]

Hey Em, I just wanted to say: don’t stress yourself about pre-filming videos. You‘re working full-time, you have the kittens and you‘re drill dealing with that cyst. Of course we‘re all going to miss you, but it‘s more important that you get better ♥️

[@Zoë_N77]

The "no thank you" conversation with mama cat really made me laugh 😂 sad you can't keep all the kittens but also completely understand why

[@Rank.Roundup]

Cat rescuer and bottle kitten foster here - if you’re that concerned about #1, you can absolutely supplement his feedings with formula. Prime weaning time is 5-6 weeks, so make sure you have plenty of canned kitten food around for post-surgery, though they’ll likely still be nursing on mom some at that point. She’ll take it at her own pace. As for giving up two, declawing is absolutely cruel and will cause the cats a lifetime of pain and often behavioral problems. The issue is you never know where they’ll end up if you surrender them to the SPCA, and they might end up in horrible homes anyway. I can’t tell you how many times the rescues I foster for have adopted out cats, and they come back in horrible shape. We all have explicit no declaw contracts that people have to sign, but the cats get returned declawed all the time. It’s horrible. The only way to know for sure that they’re in a good home is to keep them. I have six rescues, and honestly, you’re still just feeding them and cleaning the litter box. Four wouldn’t really feel that different than two. Obviously, only you know your circumstances, but it’s something to think about. I still worry about all the fosters I’ve had to let go every day.

[@cynthiafialka]

I give you a lot of credit. It must be so difficult to foster and not know how the cats/kitten will be treated by the people who adopt them. Hugs to you!

[@nonfictionfeminist]

I fully agree with that discussion towards the end of being sad about people giving up their pets once they have babies. I'm very much of the mind that your pet was there first, and before introducing a child to the home, you should know more about how your pet might react to that, and take the time to build the relationship between the pet and the child. When we got our first cat, we were told that he had an aggression to children. As it turns out, he doesn't have an aggression towards children, he's just trying to protect himself when children who haven't been taught better chase him and hit him because they think it's fun

[@bethanygilbertson]

It can be so hard for cats to be introduced to children sometimes but I totally agree, I can't imagine getting rid of our fur babies just because I had children! We worked really hard to prepare our cats for children before we had them by pushing their tolerance for harassment quite a bit from the start. They now put up with a lot from us (and are probably more tolerant of the kids) as a result. They also know they can just leave a situation if they don't like it. Of course we also worked to foster a relationship between the cats and our children from birth and as our children grow we continually work with them on how to better interact with the cats. I trust our cats (in general) to avoid rather than display aggression when they feel uncomfortable though they will use body language like batting a hand away or gentle nipping at a hand to say "No thank you" as necessary and for me that's a sign I need to intervene if I haven't already done so when my children are not old enough to receive the message. My 3.5 yo is starting to understand how to interpret their body language. My 1 yo is actually very gentle (and easy for them to escape). Both of our kids really adore our cats and the cats seem to like them and accept them as household members.

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Might want to rehome the kid instead I'm joking... mostly

[@bethanygilbertson]

@@BookswithEmilyFox LOL sometimes I re-home my kids for a few hours or an overnight with their Auntie. ;) But seriously, no one is obligated to have or want to have children. Much respect to the people who know this about themselves!!

[@Ruth-tbk]

Agreed! Though I have to say, when we announced our pregnancy, so many people immediately asked what we were going to do with our cat because surely we weren’t going to keep her. The thought had never crossed my mind and thankfully I’m a pretty rational and confident person and it didn’t get to me. But having kids comes with so many worries and insecurities and I can totally see soon-to-be parents being pushed towards rehoming their pet when everyone tells them they may hurt the baby (which in most cases is not an issue at all)

[@cynthiafialka]

@@Ruth-tbk this drives me nuts when people ask if you’re going to “get rid of” the pet when you’re going to have a baby. Ugh!

[@MonikaBury]

There are three brutal fluffy noodles growing in your closet. So much fun!

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

Once in a while I'll forget they are there and go and stare at them all excited again lol

[@MonikaBury]

@@BookswithEmilyFox I envy you with all my heart :) our cat is almost 18 years old (all this time with us): creaks, whines, fussy and has been sick for some time. And yet it is the most wonderful creature in the whole world. I keep my fingers crossed that you can enjoy this feline company for a very, very long time

[@RoundSeal]

It's absolutely wild to me that, in this day and age, people still don't get their pets fixed...what a pain! Either way, the babs are such good little nuggets. ♥ Best of luck with the surgery too!

[@no-longer-human007]

Hey i'm a vet and just wanna say u'r doing a great job 😌 i was worried last time that touching the kittens would mix ur scent with theirs and the mom wouldn't like it but she seems to trust u very well ❤️ if it's her first time giving birth (hopefully her last) then it's fine that she doesn't do everything perfectly. The only thing i'd suggest is deworming the mommy (recommended 15 days after giving birth) cause it'll help both her and the kittens

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

This is her third time sadly... but last time for sure!

[@juliebosgraaf3259]

I think she’s worrying way too much. They look well fed. The instinct for what they need is in their dna. They will be just fine.

[@tamakikawaii]

​@@juliebosgraaf3259 You don't know how she feels and this is her first time taking care of kittens, so please don't say "she is worrying too much".

[@KristinKravesBooks]

You're doing so well with the kittens. Mama obviously loves you!

[@viktoriiah4443]

Kittens fighting is normal! It teaches them what hurts. I did a lot of research when my cat had kittens and there were a lot of articles about how bad it is when cat’s have only one kitten. You and the mamma cat are doing great! I only suggest building a cardboard wall before the door once they start going around the room so no one gets hurt when you open and close the door. I know how bad the anxiety can get when you never had to deal with kittens before, but they grow up so quickly! Enjoy the cuties while you can 😊

[@carlabrown6849]

I think I remember a product called Apple bitter that smells bad to cats and if you spray it where the Tom cat peed, maybe he will be deterred. Great job with the kitties!! I hope you feel better soon!

[@krzysamm7095]

I just had laparoscopic surgery and all I can tell you is walk, walk and walk some more as it has really helped with getting rid of the gas.

[@aliebellule]

Breastfeeding has a real learning curve for mom and baby. That’s pretty much the first experience of teamwork we mammals have. Go team!

[@stardroplet9499]

“I have beef with a cat” 😂

[@emilyclare506]

Don’t intervene too much with the fighting. This is them socialising with each other, playing and learning appropriate behaviours. They learn when they are biting too hard from each other and stops biting and scratching humans too. I have 3 year old sisters and they still play fight now with each other. Cats are very low maintenance I could honestly have so much more with little work. Having more actually helps as they play and keep each other company.

[@tramasrarasoddplots]

I came for the books but stayed for the dead-beat daddy drama🤣 BTW, very glad you will not be in pain anymore

I have a “special” cat who sounds like your kitten #1. I’ve had her since she was a kitten, and she’s now 12 years old! She’s not the sharpest, but she is so sweet and dedicated. It’s so inspiring to see how dedicated you are to this mama cat and her kittens. Wishing you the best in all you have going on now and in the coming months! Love your channel❣️

[@amandam9216]

Kittens are my absolute favorite thing - I am living for your videos with them. They are so lucky to have you looking out for them. It is normal for them to 'fight' a lot; this is how they learn appropriate behavior and bite inhibition. Orphan kittens that grow up without this normal interaction have a much higher chance of developing behavioral issues. If mom decides to stop feeding them early, the Royal Canin Baybcat food is really good for the itty bitty babies. My last orphan kitten was never able to nurse on a bottle but was able to start this food at 3 weeks.

[@sarathehomesteadreader3315]

A mixture of baking soda and vinegar (can be white or apple cider) in a spray bottle will help pull the scent out of it. 1 tbsp baking soda to 1 cup vinegar. Last boy we rescued had no concept of a litter box so we used it a lot. you're doing great with the babies. Keep up the good work

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

I think the “dancing” is the baby trying to knead for more milk. They all look happy and healthy. You’re doing a good job! They’re alert, moving around, meeting milestones… all exciting stuff!

You need a disinfectant to clean cat pee. Mine sprays occasionally in our house which is a real pain. You can also get sprays that have a smell that cats won't like to discourage more spraying.

[@amacina]

Hey Emily, I know this video has been up for a minute, but I just wanted say I just had surgery (like five days ago) to remove my gallbladder and the first few days are tough, but it gets better! The gas pains sucked, I would get gas meds and a heated blanket would help those pains a lot, especially the blanket! Otherwise my issues were some pain at where the surgery happened (my gallbladder, upper abdomen ), just stay on your pain meds around the clock the first few days and take it super easy. Make sure to have someone helping you out (I’m not bending much right now) so you don’t have to push yourself to be safe. As I approach a week out I’m feeling better and enjoying not being in pain every time I eat! 🎉

[@JoseeL777]

Those kittens are too damn cute. I laughed that one of them "dances" before he eats. I adopted a cat a year ago and I call him my Tiny Dancer. Every meal time he does he little dance and I have to coax him and pet him until he finally decided to eat.

[@rachel-joyseifrit4833]

For the cat spraying, Pine Sol. If you put it in a spray bottle and mix it with some water, you can spray the ground around your door and it deters them. I have to do this at my back door and it works pretty decently. They don't like the smell (but it smells a lot better than cat pee). Just make sure it's the original scent. Hope this helps!

Girl, you really have to sterilise mamma cat ASAP, bc papa cat won’t give up and he’s definitely marking his territory and if she was sniffing around and trying to get out, maybe she’s not quite opposed to the idea 😂. BTW, good luck with your surgery. My fingers are crossed for you here! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@crazybiogeek]

1. Your neighborhood drama is hilarious. 2. Glad to hear about your surgery and hoping that you'll feel better after. I'm also glad you're in Canada and don't have to pay for it. (In the US you gotta wait forever AND pay a ton.) 3. Just put a livestream camera on the kittens and you'll have no need of any other content while you recover. 4. If possible, try to get the spay scheduled asap. Or that horny Siamese cat will keep being annoying. And might somehow get to mama cat again too.

[@sirgnome]

Have you tried feeding No. 1! the kitten formula you mentioned? Maybe that could help if he keeps having trouble?

[@raheltd]

Good to know you got the date!! And don't worry about the uploads too much... I'm sure we'll all be waiting patiently for you to recover 💚 That said, an easy video could be a q&a? But again, take care of yourself and no worries about the schedule

Omg, 2 years for cystic surgery!! I mean American healthcare sucks but I had a friend with that and she had surgery in a week. Bless you! Declawing is so cruel. It’s really painful to the cats. People’s sometimes.

[@cruelaz]

for removing the pee i would look into sprays specifically for that hot water and soap sadly does not do the trick and especially if its a unfixed male cat he will be back marking his so acclaimed territory 😐😅 i agree with you as much as i love kittens the newborn stage can be nerve wracking and theres nothing more rewarding when the kittens start to eat solids but that also entails them starting to explore everywhere and then you have a whole new set of problems 😂

[@booklover6963]

I had a ovarian cyst removed. No more pain it was/is wonderful... Good luck :)

Wonderful Vlog…so much cat/kitten cuteness! Hope your surgery goes well! I feel like you’re gonna need something fun/funny to read while recuperating. I’m in the middle of Act Your Age, Eve Brown. Total rom-com & I am LOL. Another good one, though historical rom-com, is A Duke In Shining Armour by Loretta Chase. So much fun

First contact stories are soo interesting, love them. So definitely going to check out Remnant pop. My all time favourite is Semiosis by Sue Burk. Have you heard about it? It's sooo good 😅

You need a special cleaner to really get rid of cat pee. Petty part of me says to catch the Siamese and neuter him too

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

The fees really help! The fee provides their immunizations and such. I wonder what the independent rescue landscape is near you. They tend to have more stringent adoption regulations… at least near me in the US. Their goal being to match the right human with the right animal, not just making more space.

[@amber8206]

[@alanassine]

Hey, love your videos and the cats are adorable. Maybe the dancing little one got the wobbly cat syndrome (CH)? At least that was my first thought seeing his movements, there are some videos about it on tiktok. But i dont know anything about that besides their wobbly movements ~

[@Dustyrosepetal]

You might need to get a pee removal spray, the cat will keep spraying there. He may try to leave his scent on all the enterences, including windows if he can get to them, since he knows there is a un spayed cat. Mothballs sometimes helps to keep them away they hate the smell, but it doesn't always work. There are probably some deterrent sprays you can get too. I'm pretty sure that its illegal in every province except Ontario to declaw cats. I'm pretty sure its a newer law in PQ maybe the last few years. I know that Atlantic Canada its been illegal for like 10+ years. #3 wants to be a hunter, if you get a mouse he will end it! They are too cute.

[@teerenee1257]

I've been worried about the kittens since your last video. So happy to see they're doing good! ❤

[@onfaerystories]

Kittens will fight often and it's good for them, they need to learn how to defend themselves ☺️ I had a cat who had kittens in my parents' basement (when I used to live with them) and she brought them one by one upstairs, which made sense as she had given birth in a very dusty section of that basement (my parents were unfortunately neglectful). The second time she literally gave birth on my parents' bed early in the morning. They hadn't created a safe space for her to give birth, but fortunately it went well both times, all her kittens were healthy and we sold them for 10 bucks to people from our neighbourhood (we had put up posters all around). Can't wait for your reading vlogs! Will you do one for A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (what a terrible title lol)? I've yet to read it but the reviews I've watched didn't convince me to do so. 😅

[@katherinedaigle3969]

The kittens are adorables ! But yeah people requesting free cat/kitten on public facebook group are not always the best. Most of the time they juste don't want to pay for an animal... meaning they won't pay for care expense like sterilise them. Going to the SPCA would be a good idea since they will fix them before letting people adopted them. End since they don't let go of kittens for free it hold off non serious people. But maybe there is people aroud you that are interested in adopting one ? You could still have news of the babies in that case. Seeing the kittens remind me that when i was young i wanted to be a breeder. I wanted to live with all the baby animal in the world 😂 And good luck with your surgery !

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

You’re going to want an enzymatic cleaner for the male markings. We have the same issue with an intact orange tabby owned by a neighbor that’s not part of our HOA. It’s a giant PIA. Our HOA reps have been lobbying the local gov’t to pass an ordinance that will fine any owner who lets an intact cat/dog roam free. Since we’re coming into spring, would love a video on bingable reads.

[@Plants.and.cats5]

First off I have 5 cats so you can totally manage 4. Secondly, I’ve had surgery for endometriosis which is similar to your surgery I imagine. I got a microwaveable rice heating pad and the heat plus the weight of it really helped my shoulder pain.

[@cararicciarelli]

Use an enzyme cleaner! It will get rid of the smell

[@CharleyBSmith]

You should try local shelters, they might have a shorter waiting list and won't ask for a fee. They might just ask for a donation which you can give if you're able. You're doing great as a cat guardian, mummy cat clearly trusts you a lot and is letting you be the kitten referee 😂

[@alexy.4149]

I'm not a vet but I wonder if Kitten 1 has cerebellar hypoplasia (wobbly cat syndrome)? Worth keeping an eye on it and speaking to a vet if the little one continues being unsteady as he grows. He may just need a little extra help doing things 💕

[@BookswithEmilyFox]

I don’t think so since they’re all very wobbly right now but we’ll see!

[@christinedugas3089]

To take care of Siamese cat's stinky pee, there are sprays to get rid of the odor of cat pee that have enzymes in them that neutralizes the smell. Worth a try. Love the mama cat/kitten updates. I know there was some cat content when you asked for recommendations for books that would make you cry, and you've let mama cat pick your books. Maybe you can ask your followers at some point for recommendations for books featuring cats that WON'T make you cry.

[@janeb9698]

Great video! I love the kitten footage. Too bad about the deadbeat dad peeing on your door - there’s a product called Nature’s Miracle that will knock out the smell. It’s an enzymatic cleaner so it can wipe it out so that even other cats can’t detect it. There’s an awesome book called Think Like A Cat that has great ideas for discouraging kitties from hovering around the front door (and on countertops or anywhere else you don’t want them hanging out). That will help with mama cat trying to arrange hookups with her irresponsible boyfriend. If she asks to borrow your car keys, the answer is no!! Also, don’t give away cats for free. You never know what people are going to do with them. It’s way better for someone to have to pay for them; then you know they really want them as pets and family members. Hope this isn’t advice overload!!! You are doing great!!!

[@ejderhaz]

Try using baking soda and vinegar to get rid of that cat pee smell (I've been there....... Even with several cleanings it still smells) Also, cold water worked better than hot water for me.

[@abeautifullysadstory7953]

I'd recommend "Signal" series either Japanese or Korean, I had watched Japanese version, but it's a scifi serial killer thriller.

[@jamieserrano827]

To take care of the tomcat pee you probably should use some vinegar on your door

it's illegal in many places to declaw the cats since they take off the first knuckle of their "claws". Are there any rescues that might be able to help? I know the shelters ask for the donations to help with the vetting when it's an owner surrender. Animal foster/rescuer here.

[@lilitbrambling]

Do you have smaller cat rescues in your area? It might be helpful to reach out to them as they will have established networks to get the cats responsible and loving homes. Tiny Kittens in Vancouver have some good resources. Edit: I want to say you are doing an amazing job. They are looking really loved and well cared for. ❤

Mostly English but I do give them French nicknames! I've been calling #3 "p'tit bedon" (lil belly) because he's so chunky!

[@steph-reads-ish]

The ballad of songbirds and snakes is a pretty good read if you go in knowing snow is a butthole. I went in without reading or watching the movies in years and was kinda surprised, but looking back on it it feels like the author kept snow the same instead of a Massive change.
