Kitten Update

I am repeating some of this from my comments to Lisa but just in case others don't read the comments....here is a quick update on Abigail's Angels.

They are growing and really getting active and we knew the "box in the corner" was not going to contain these little ones for much longer. Just so happens, I happened upon a sidewalk sale at a pet store on Friday and they were selling a "cat house/crate" type thing that is tall and has several levels. I purchased it and have moved the family in till they get old enough to roam their room. Abigail did not seem pleased at first and did not want to go into the new "home" but we are able to keep the doors open and have put the "box" into the new home till she felt comfortable enough and till we know they can't escape. They seem so tiny to be so curious but as soon as their eyes opened they obviously decided "there is a big world out there" and they are determined to see it. When Lisa came to visit we talked about the difference in sizes of the kittens. Four of them seem to be about the same size and then we have our "little runt" and our "big girl". Little "runt" is quite a bit smaller and seems to be our noisy one and "big girl" is significantly bigger and is really quiet and less active than the others. What is curious is that the two of them seem to have teamed up so to speak. They always cuddle together and seek each other out when they aren't nursing. When it comes to nursing it's every one for them selves and seems to be to a constant struggle and tug of war until they each settle in and eventually fall asleep. Well, I just realised this was suppose to be a "quick" update and I just keep on going so I will end for now but rest assured there is no end to the cuteness and smiles when we are with our Angels.

  5. I got to see them today! Oh my goodness! They are so sweet and so so so soft (like a little bunny)! They are beginning to be very curious and adverturous! I think Hannah is finally going to let them out of the crate during the day for a little freedom and exercise now. She was very hesitant though because she wants to make sure that they don't get into anything they shouldn't and notget hurt too. She was checking all around the room to make sure it's kitten proof. She a very protective and conscientious foster Mom! I love that about her so much.
