if by chance you heard some kitten screaming from far away, it might be that you heard these 3 as I bathed them today and they were so unimpressed with me, but they smell so much better. They were not thrilled with the blow dryer so I had to let them air dry, it was a much better option than traumatized babies that would forever be terrified of a blow dryer, or vacum or anything else with that sort of noise.
none of the friends seemed to be huge suckers but when I got up this morning all 3 were lined up against the bunny, as I pulled each away for their morning weigh and feed you can see where they had each grabbed on to a tuff of stuffed animal fur and sucked away, there were 3 very tint but prominent circles with that tuft. Whatever works, would rather that than they start sucking on each other, which if you remember last years litters was a real problem for some of my females to the males.
Since they are only eating about every 6 hrs today but much more at one time, I will start solids tomorrow as planned, this is where it gets messy and gross, it never fails, kittens walk thru, and feed everything else but their faces the first few times they try it. You might remember Sabrina from last year, man that kitten needed a bath after EVERY FEED, she was so messy and gross, I hope that these guys won't be as bad.
their weights are good and here they are :
ROSS - went from 333g to 368g an increase of 35G
Joey - went from 330G to 353G a jump of 20G
Phoebe - 270G to 283G a small gain of 13G
I expect that by Wednesday Ross will be at that magical 1lb, Joey by Thursday or friday and Phoebe not until next weekend unless she really takes off on the solids.
More from me tomorrow night :)
