Hi Everyone,
I have been so busy with getting ready for my new job and the kids ready for school I have not been able to update as often as I want. Although I am lacking in time we certainly are not lacking in excitement with the kittens. Today was a huge milestone. Two of the kittens have finally decided to eat kitten food. After almost 2 weeks of trying to introduce them to solid food, "Bunny" and "Baby" suddenly and very enthusiastically started eating canned kitten food today. I was with the kittens and Hannah earlier and Hannah and I were putting little bits on their lips and they were again acting as though we were insulting them with messing up their cute little kitten faces. So later I was downstairs helping my youngest son with summer reading reports on his last day of summer vacation (he had all summer to do!) and I heard a scream from upstairs and I ran up thinking "oh God what's wrong" and I barreled into the "Cat Room" and Hannah is sitting on the floor smiling ear to ear and pointing to "Bunny". She was gulping this kitten food like no tomorrow! Well, book reports on hold cause we all just sat and stared at the amazing fury in which this kitty was devouring this food. Then low and behold..."Baby" was over at Mommy's dish licking away at what she left behind and then we added the baby food and she went to town. Long story short it is 8:30 pm and book reports are just being printed and I just had to get this update on. Tomorrow is first day of school for my son and Hannah starts next week so I will be updating as much as time allows. But rest assured the kittens are growing and playing and are sooooo much fun. I can't wait to post the adorable pictures....hopefully tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteCongrats !
Sounds wonderful! I can't wait to see photos :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! Looking forward to the pics, too! No worries gal, I'll gladly show you again!
ReplyDeleteOh that is great that they are on to kitten food! Hopefully the others will see them do it and join in (they say one thing to try and get the others to do stuff is to praise the ones doing it so the others want to do it and get praise too - but to me that just sounds like peer pressure).
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine their little faces in the kitten food bowl, slurping away happily...too cute!
ReplyDeleteAmy- So funny..the peer pressure thing! I am definitely going to try it :)
