Fun in the Sun!

Amazingly, last week, the sun did make an appearance!  The cats were all overjoyed, fighting over the best "sun spots" in the house.  The kittens on the other hand, were just enjoying a warmer playtime. 

Two- week check-up

We loaded up the babies, threw them in the car, and took them to the Humane Society yesterday for their two-week weigh in.  The biggest one (Porche) weighed in at a whopping 15 ounces!!  The pictures dont always do justice to how tiny they are, but if you remember that is after two weeks of plumping time, you can imagine how tiny they were at first.

I credit their fat little bellies to my "full body feeding" technique:

Of course, it also helps when you just have happy kitties!

They've been introduced to the rest of the house. My cats aren't thrilled.  They just gave me the 'oh no, here we go again' look.  But they'll get over it.  Its so funny to see the itty bitty babies chasing around my big 12lb cats!

Oh, and Mercedes, with her cat food covered nose, wants to say "hi":

One Of These Things is Not Like the Other.

 Look. 

Look very closly.

Study if you must.

Can you sopt the differences between these three kitties?

Yeah, neither can I :)

Now Introducing!

Its hard to believe it's already been a week since I brought these itsy bitsy kitties home!  For the first two days they wanted nothing to do with me really.  Now I can't keep them off of me!  I walk around the house with them on my shoulders like little parrots (with very sharp claws!). And once their motors started running, I knew there was nothing else I could name them. 

So I am happy to introduce Porche, Bentley, and Mercedes!

 They are, like most kittens, adapting well and growing oh-so-fast!  They have already graduated from their kitten gruel to big-kitty food (by their own choice).  Although, eating from a dish is still a bit challanging.  They much more prefer me to spoon feed them.  No, they aren't spoiled in the least!

When I get up in the morning, or come home from work, Mercedes is always on the top of their kitty-condo box yelling for me.  Then, when I open the door, she literally leaps at me.  She is one very social kitty.  No fear.

Porche is not far behind.  Ready to climb my leg at a moments notice.

Bentley is still a little shy, but he will come over to me now.  He doesn't like being picked up so much, but he does enjoy burying himself in my hair.

Sweeties- all of them

Got Milk?

The new beebees will eat on their own, but they only seem to do so when mama's in the room.  So, because we want them to grow up big, fat...er...I mean fast, and strong, they are being syringe-fed some "kitten gruel."  It's a wonderfully smelly combination of kitten formula and seafood flavored wet cat food.  Delish!  At least the kittens think so.  They're still working on their syringe sucking technique though, and so feeding is a particularly messy project.  Forget the milk moustache, these kitties are sporting the full milk beard!

Yum!  Time for a little post-feeding cleaning on the cat post!

And finally, wiggle it all together so you have a nice seafood milkshake!
