48 hours

Well just a little over 48 hours that these babes have been here. They have been doing really well. The boy who has yet to be named was so hard to feed, he would suck a bottle for all of 2 seconds and decide he was done...well thats not conducive to a kitten who needs to grow so I put him in my emoty bathtub last name and gave him a small bit of canned food with hos formula, he ATE, he ate well. Then I put Oleana in with him and she ate not as well as her brother but she still wants a bottle so I'm not to concerened. I woke up to a very stinky newborn box, yep they are using the bathroom on their own much of the time, this means that newborn boxes are no long suitable. I have a spare dog kennel that I used screening to shorten the wire spacing so neither can wander off. I loved them in with their heartbeat cat and added a small litterpan, in the past I have ad to show them what to do a few times but generally cats are probably the easiest animal to house train. They also have more room and now have a view of the room and people, pets around them so they are much more vocal than they were. This is good as it means they enjoy the company of people which will help them to find their furever home. I imagine these 2 will be with me for about 2.5-3 weeks more and then be off to another foster home where they will be raised with other cats and learn how to be cats. Bottle feeders typically do not get to learn normal cat bahaviour from mom and it is something they need so other cats can teac them.
