We're getting ducklings! And three more kittens to! A friend of mine had some ducks that she needed someone to look after until they're able to take care of themselves, so we volunteered, and then we got offered the chance to look after some more kittens, so of course we took that offer! And don't worry, I will be posting any pictures we take.

Mama Cat has come and gone, but that doesn't mean I still don't have my hands full! Tonight I'm getting another kitten, this one ten days old. We're getting it from someone who can't take care of it because of work. Just thought I'd let you know.

LATER EDIT:
We've got the kitten. A female named Panda. She's white with black spots (just as I suspected) and a stripe of dark brown tabby on her forehead. If I can, I'll post some pictures of her.

EVEN LATER EDIT:
Remember those kittens I told you about in 'Guess What'? Well, last Saturday I put four of them up for adoption (we're keeping Sev for a while). Two of them (Matthew and Nathaniel) were adopted today. I feel glad that they've got people of their own, but I really, really miss them. And now I'll never get to see them again!
This really, really sucks. I mean, I wait all week to see them again, and when I finally get to, two of them are gone! What sort of cruel twist of fate is this! I raised those kittens since they were two weeks old! I know everything about them! And now I never get to see them again! This world sucks.

I was thinking, the studio that did the anime version of GNG and GDW never did do the second season of GNG and the second and third season GDW. So I was wondering if anybody else on DA would like to continue what that studio started and help me undergo an animation project here on DA to produce the anime version of all of the seasons that StudioDeen neglected to do.
I'll be opening a new account here under the name DeviantAnimations (once DA lifts the ban they have on opening new accounts on IP addresses that already have an account). If you do want to participate, drop me a note and I'll give you the password. The current positions which are open would be that of:
Co-directer
Background artists
Character designers
Voice actors
Composers (for theme and ending)
Singers (for theme and ending)
Musicians (for theme and ending)
Timer (making the sound match with the animations)
Translators (I was thinking of making it in English, but if someone would be willing to do subtitle translations that would be great)
Cover designers
Final animators
Also needed will be people who have the mangas of each different era and will be able to translate them for the people who want to participate but haven't read those particular eras yet. If there are any other positions I've overlooked, please let me know and I'll b sure to add them.

Also, I want you to know that I originally thought up this project for DA only, but if someone would be willing to get the idea rights from Yoshihiro Takahashi and the animation rights from StudioDeen, we could actually get this thing published.

I have gotten another oppurtunity to open up my home to cats who need it, not that any of the cats I have now are all too pleased about it.
Last night my mom got an e-mail asking if we could care for a mother cat and her three kittens. She agreed and they arrived earlier today around 2:00.
The mother is a lovely black long-haired kitty that my mom has named Cera. She yellow-amber eyes and the most beautiful purr you've ever heard! Her three kittens are black-and-white, black-and-white with faint tabby markings, and gray-and-white. We're going to put off naming them until they're old enough for us to determine their genders.
The lady who brought them over said that the kittens were only a week old. So they're still bind and tiny enough to fit in the palm in your hand.

Guess What!?

I picked up a pigeon yesterday (yes I'm not kidding, I literally held him in my hands). It wasn't really all that hard even. He kept bumping into stuff (someone told me he was blind), he kept falling over onto his right side, and he couldn't even fly. So being the little trifler with nature that I am, I picked him up and brought him home (I named him Fletcher by the way). Anyway, Fletcher was mine for around two hours before my mom came home and insisted we take him to the ASPCA (but only after I told her the reasons why I picked him up.
Anyway, while we were at the ASPCA, this woman came in with a boxful of five lovely kittens who had been abandoned by their mother. The ASPCA said they couldn't take them in until they were at least two pounds each and old enough to feed themselves because they didn't have enough people to look after them. So in exchange for them taking Fletcher, we decided to be the kittens' foster parents.
It's been a rather harrowing experience. There are two orange tabbies named Matthew James and Nathaniel S., one light brown tabby named Hazelwood D. Brian, a dark brown tabby (the only female) named Eleanor Bavrit Lily, and one gray-and-white tabby named Severus (after the character created by J. K. Rowling). This means that I now have a total of eight kitties and one gerbil.
And as if life couldn't get any better, a friend of my brother's is giving us two abandoned, four-week old white kittens to foster as well, escalating the number of cats to ten. I'm so glad to play such a big part in these little kittens' lives (seeing as caring for them is my responsibility). I hope I get more opportunities like this in the future.
