Update on kittens

It has been so long since I posted an update. The kittens are growing and doing just fine. I was a little concerned as they have been quite reluctant to start on solid food and it has been a slow process. Bunny started weeks ago and the rest are just getting caught up. Seems three of them were quite content just nursing for a while. Big Girl was the most reluctant so the biggest of the litter now is the smallest in weight. Here's a little on each:

Big Girl: She is the stubborn girl who has decided to make me crazy with "why won't you just eat some kitten food?" She still loves dark corners and loves to find little spots to hid and pounce on a passerby. She is a beautiful shiny black (and white) like her Mom but with a lot more black. She has the most amazing white whiskers that stand out so against her black fur.

Baby: Well, Baby has become one of the best at eating the solids. She is very playful and can hold her own against any of her siblings. If you recall, she was so much smaller than the rest. Now she is in the middle as far as size. She loves to fall asleep on any body part she can curl into and has a unique coloring. Stripes and a tiny little blaze up her nose.

Boy: Boy has a perfect little face with big lovable eyes. He loves to eat anything up you put down and has beautiful black and white fur. He still has the half white nose and a blaze of white up his nose. His favorite spot is on Hannah's purple bean bag chair. He will curl up on it fall asleep or jump up on the chair and dive into it.

Cheeks: Cheeks is another stubborn eater. She hasn't quite decided it is time to leave Mom alone a little and go for the big girl food. She has the cute little white cheeks and loves kisses. She loves to lick skin so it seems she can make a meal of that.

Fluff: Fluff just started eating and discovered it is delicious. She has amazing long fur and a beautiful foxy face. She is very mischievious. Just when you think you are having a little loving from her she will give you a little nip. If you tell her "no" she looks at you with that adorable face as if to say, "I sorry!" and then you melt and all is well.

Bunny: Bunny is definitely a people kitty. She wants individual attention and kitten kisses. She discovered Hannah's bed recently and rolled around and rubbed her face all over it. She loves to roll on things she likes including people. Bunny has a cute little white mustache. Hannah says when she opens her mouth wide she looks like a little horse. Don't ask me how. I just don't know. :)

Next week will be their 8 week birthday and we have to seriously start looking for homes and starting the adoption process. It will be difficult but I am praying we will be as fortunate as the Maples. They are amazing little creatures.

Bye now.
