Liefje is a very communitive cat she communicate with us
the whole day. She makes soft reassuring sounds: ’prrrr, prrrr” meaning good morning
or hello. When she prrrrs’ we know that
she agrees with us and approves whatever we are doing.
Fortunately she often “prrrrs”
so we are all happy and content.
This is her first litter and she does not want to
delegate, no she takes her duties seriously. She keeps a close eye on us and
her babies, observing all our movements. She is a proud mother and loves to get
attention but she certainly does not like interference. Although this is her
first litter she her instinctly knows the best and our meddling is not welcomed at all. We have to
pay attention that our intervention is not moving in the wrong direction. Fortunately
Liefje clarifies that immediately by loudly meowing. We have to communicate softly and using reassuring
words she already knows while explaining every move to her, singing for her
works. Nevertheless she observes us like an eagle.
It is important to get a her agreement for feeding her
son, that was a big problem this week. They both express
their disapproval in a loud voice, making me very nervous. Taking her son in
the kitchen was a very bad idea, because Liefje got very angry jumping against
the door. Her screaming son makes it all worse. We both have to compromise; I
waited until her son meows to express his frustration and when he does I put
the bottle teat in his widely opened mouth.
Bottle feeding him is necessary and he is gaining
weight every day. All’s well.
Liefjes son is an active little kitten, his sister is
more laid back. While she is enjoying her mother’s care, he tries to get away
as often as he can. He has to sneak out secretly and he often succeeds.
He is very interested and as soon as he hears us coming
he reacts, so understandably he wants to find out more. His is very motivated
but his short undertakings are still very exhausting fortunately he falls
asleep easily.
All's well again.
