This is a video of the almost two months that we spent with our first set of foster kittens: Ewok (who didn't last past the first four days), Sunshine and Marshmallow.
Looking back, if we had known what to look for, we would have realized that the fact Ewok needed a bath to clean the poop out of his fur was a sign that he wasn't doing well. But we were completely naive. You'll see Anna giving the poor little guy a bath in the video. I doubt he had an infection, though, as the other two kitties were, and remained, healthy. Both of the girls got choked up as they watched the clips with Ewok in them.
You'll also see Marshmallow attacking a cheese puff. I just want to say, for the record, that I do not condone the feeding of cheese puffs to kitties. One of the girls videotaped the event and I didn't know about it till later. However, despite not supporting such a diet for kitties, it didn't harm her and it really was rather cute, so I included that bit of footage.
The wet kitty is Marshmallow, as mentioned in my post entitled A Fishy Sound.
Sunshine has a teeny bit of white on her chest, but it's hard to see that as she careens past the camera. Trust me, she's well represented in the video even though she doesn't have a cute moment with a cheese puff or a scary moment with a bathtub.
The kitties will go in to the Larimer Humane Society tomorrow morning at 9:30. We're gonna miss them, but we have high hopes that they'll find warm, loving homes quickly.
Music: There are two tracks on the video. Both are by Anna Kashfi. The first is "Buttons and Bows" and the second is "A Safe Place". I downloaded the songs from eMusic. (If you'd like to join eMusic, let me know. I can get free songs for inviting you. I've been with them for a few years now and found some really great music through them.)
Pretty cool how you go from picture/video to another!
ReplyDeleteThe video came out really good!
ReplyDeleteReally cute hope they find a good home
ReplyDeletethe transitions are all made by iMovie. you can pick them out as you go if you want. but iMovie also has a way where you just focus on the clips/pics themselves and it does all the rest. i watched a tutorial on iMovie where the guy said he thought the transitions were cheesy, but i think it works for the kind of thing i'm doing.
ReplyDeletedid you notice that this is volume #1. i'm looking forward to many more volumes of foster kitty lovin'. :-)
thanks!
ReplyDeletethere are still clips that i would have trimmed differently, but for some reason there are times when i go to clip at one point and the program insists on clipping elsewhere. seemed like a bug but maybe it's just something i haven't grokked yet.
They're running up and down the hallway right now. This might be their last good bit of exercise until they get adopted.
ReplyDeleteNathan was up at 5:30 this morning. He moved over to the girls room and snuggled up with the kitties, then fell back to sleep.
Natty eats bacon and poptarts, and is doing just fine!
ReplyDeletegreat. now i'm really going to worry about what kind of person is going to adopt the kitties. bacon i can understand. but poptarts?!!! i can tell natty was a college kitty. hopefully she's ready to move up into being a "new career, must spoil the pet" kitty.
ReplyDeletegorgeous video, makes me feel all gooey... (if you don't mind me emoting all over your post...)
ReplyDeleteemoting is fine as long as i don't have to DO something about it. i never know what's expected of me when someone is emoting. i just nod and roll with it. but i don't think that's often the preferred response.
ReplyDeleterofl... I'll let you in on a secret: even F types like me sometimes get stuck wondering how they're supposed to react... and online is even worse - with all the emoticons in the world it's still difficult to find the appropriate nod at times...
ReplyDeleteawww.. we had a scare with Molly Ifigured it was having to do pooping problems and started massaging her. Like you know a baby would curl up and look in pain.. That did the trick... poor little one.
ReplyDeleteseo consultants will hate this video... but I love this!
