Kitten Update

The kittens are 3 weeks and 2 days old today and we can hardly believe how much more they do in just a days time. We finally decided it was time to let them have the "run" (and I do mean run) of the whole room now. We thought it would be a gradual thing but the kittens had something else in mind. They have explored so far only half of the room. We are thinking because momma Abigail rounds them up when they get too far.We think it is only a matter of time (hours maybe days) that she won't be able to see all six of them going in different directions. Right now when she feels they are getting a little too far from her, she will let out a little half purr half meow (Cat talk for "Get your little behinds back here!") and they come running back. But they are surely testing the "waters" so to speak.

  2. Sounds like momma Abigal is a good momma! Thanks for the update and the 3 week old photos. They are all developing their own personalities, aren't they?

  3. Thanks for the comments! I am glad you like the updates. Abigail is the best and yes finally I am able to tell them apart (Hannah could from day 1) and they all have their own little traits that help me know who they are. Also, they don't look so much alike anymore.

  4. They are all so cute! I love these little balls of fluff! So great to read the updates and Momma's little "half-purr half-meow" get-your-little-behinds-back-here command just totally cracked me up!
