The Kittens

Day Four

August 8, 2004

Everyone has grown in the past few days.  Not only are they visibly bigger, but they have all gained close to 2 ounces in weight. The kittens are getting more active, as well, even though they still can't crawl very well.  We appear to have all female kittens in this litter.  Mama is doing  a good job feeding them, it seems.  Mama herself seems a bit tired, sometimes, but she is taking care of five growing babies!  She spends a bit more time out of the nest, while the kittens are sleeping.  I have changed her over to a pregnant/nursing cat formula  food, just to make sure she gets all the nutrition she needs.

 

Kitten #1  6 oz.  (Sorry the picture is blurry- she just wouldn't stay still!)

Kitten #2  6.25 oz.

Kitten #3  6.25 oz.

Kitten #4 6.5 oz.

Kitten #5  6.25 oz.
