Just heard from the breeder that the kittens will be delayed. Two of the kittens in the litter (not any of ours) have had some secretions from the eyes and the vet decided to put them all on medication for 20 days, just in case the other kittens catches it.
This means that we can't pick Sam & Suzy up on june 8th as planned, but it'll be delayed at least a week, maybe 1.5 week longer due to vet inspection, vaccines etc.
I am not known as the most patient person in the world. I think patience is not a virtue at all, it's a pain in the rear!
We dediced after Christmas that we were going to get a Siamese cat and then started to look for good breeders. We found one eventually and her cat had a litter on march 12th. So we've been waiting more or less since Christmas for these kittens. And now when it's so near, it's sooooo painful.
I want them to be here NOW!
OK, my more grownup me knows that this is best for all the kittens and a week or two extra is no big deal, we're going to hopefully have these cats with us for maybe 20 years, and in that perspective it's not a long time at all. And healthy kittens is better than sick ones.
But I'm like a kid at Christmas, I want to open my presents NOW!
You don't have to feel sorry for me, I just needed to vent some of the frustration. I'll try to kill some time by making my own cat toys or something. Or lay a puzzle, I'm sure I'll never be allowed to do that again with small kittens in the house.
