It’s been a busy week!
The kittens all have nice clear eyes now. I’m quite glad the drops are done, because I think poor Lacey really found the taste of them disgusting. (Yes we were putting them in the eyes, but of course the eyes are connected to the nose and the [...]
Last night we let all the babies out for a run in the living room. Even with the pen door open Luna doesn’t trust us enough to come out, though she’s steadily creeping closer to the door and the “outside”. The babies are not so cautious. They are such cute bundles of [...]
The babies are definitely motoring around more confidently, but they’re still not to the “leaping” stage. Occasionally we’ll hear them playing with the toy ball in the enclosure.
Yesterday we opened the cage door and let them come out to explore if they wanted to. Lahl and Leo came toddling out right away, [...]
The kittens are almost four weeks old, which means they are teething. They are looking for things to chew, and Luna is going to be weaning them soon. They tend to bite each other and also anything else in the way, such as my hand! Luckily the phrase “weak as a [...]
Just a short video to show the wobbliness of the kittens right now.
The kittens are over three weeks old now! They are wobbling around pretty handily. Luna can’t escape them now, but she doesn’t seem to mind. She’s such a good Momma.
Shy Luna is a pretty girl.
Look at all those cute little eyeballs!
Here’s me trying to hold Licorice’s cute little face up for a [...]
The kittens are all still gaining weight and doing well. Lacey scared me a bit because one of her eyes seemed to be stuck shut, which is one of the symptoms of upper respiratory infection, but I used a moist cloth to help her open it and I think it was just a case [...]
The babies are about 18 days old now, almost three weeks! Hard to believe! They are all very healthy. We took Luna in for vaccinations this week and it wasn’t too hard to get her into a carrier. After Leslie lured her close with treats, then with an assertive grab and [...]
The babies are doing very well. They all have their eyes open and must be seeing something, since they are giving us the first “What the heck are you?” big wide-eyed looks. Leslie successfully scritched Luna under the chin and she seemed to be OK with that, although she was a bit distracted by nursing [...]
I can’t believe they’re nearly ten days old already! Little eyes are peeping open now.
Yesterday was also the first day that a kitten wandered out of the nest and got lost. Of course it was Leo, he’s been the most active kitten overall. He gave the most plaintive mews, but his mom seemed [...]
