From the Catman: Sabrina - Chapter 2: The Kittens

As I mentioned before, Sabrina had five little kittens. They were only a few days old, and were just beginning to open their eyes when we decided Sabrina was really sick and we rushed them all to the emergency vet. Two of them were just too weak and sick, and they didn't make it. But three did make it, and we soon had them and Sabrina on their way to recovery.

When we get a litter of kittens, Nina names all of them with names beginning with the same letter, so here's Paddy, Panda, and Pogo:

Pogo and Panda have gone to their forever homes, but Paddy is still at the Ark.

Paddy was on TV last weekend for the telethon, and he did great. He didn't squirm or try to get way. I think he even smiled at the camera once!

In my last post I said we were calling Sabrina a Manx cat. That means she doesn't have a tail. (You can see that in her video here.) We know she didn't just lose her tail since none of her kittens had tails! Paddy's tail is about two inches long, but he doesn't need any more than that.

A cute characteristic of Manx kitties is that when they get excited they tend to hop just a little. If he's not been adopted by Saturday I'll try to get him to run around and make a video so you can see. In the meantime, here's Paddy's petfinder page.

Well, that's all for now. Next time is Sabrina - Chapter 3: What a purrsonality!
