6/1
-- As the kittens got older they became more assertive
in their eating. This is Blondie who weighs almost twice
as much as when he was born.
6/4
-- Blondie's eyes opened a couple of days after Grey's.
Blondie seems to be a bit slower in physical development
but otherwise catches on things a bit quicker than Grey.
6/6
-- Grey's eyes are entirely open now. Both kittens have
blue eyes -- the true color of the eyes won't be known
for some weeks.
6/13
-- Almost two weeks after Grey and Blondie were brought
inside, we moved them from the cat carrier to a much larger
"cabana" that George built. The 4-foot tall
cabana has screened sides so the kittens can't wander
and has a floor size of 2 by 3 feet.
6/18
-- Grey and Blondie began to be weaned from cat milk substitute
almost 4 weeks after moving inside. We started out with
baby food (squash and meat without onions), a bit of KMR's
2nd Step, and milk then moved quickly to adding canned
kitten food. Blondie caught on to eating off a plate a
day before Grey did.
We
have been keeping Bobo and Kitty Boy inside since we
first found the kittens. Both Bobo and Kitty Boy don't
like the mother cat and have chased her off (we originally
thought she was a traveling male cat). We are afraid
they'd keep her from feeding the third kitten.
Both
Bobo and Kitty Boy have been troopers, bearing up well,
enjoying the coolness of the addition and the back screened
in porch.
