6 weeks old

The "fun" part of foster kittens is the number of times the room has to be rearranged. Maybe someday we will get a bigger house with a separate foster room, but fir now the space is big enough for kittens but no storage or space for other stuff.

In this case, the panels are gone blocking the big litter boxes. Probably going to pull the crate out too since they aren't really using it much anymore. Mainly for goofing off but not really for sleeping.

April can't decide on the weather. Mom was wearing shorts on Thursday and a sweatshirt on Saturday. But we are getting some open windows time at least. 

Oh....and this made mom laugh. Boba was under the covers and Buttons was trying to grab her tail. Wait for the end...

5 weeks plus one

 We've been holding out a little. There is a tiny void kitten who has taken up residence for a couple of weeks in the playpen in the living room. 

Meet Phoenix. She's just here to get big enough for surgery. She was very hissy for about 2 days and now she is all about people. And Buttons...


Buttons discovered she can get in and out of the playpen. The goal was to leave the door open just enough for Phoenix. Turns out that's just enough for Buttons as well.

Ambrosia and the salad kittens are doing great. We haven't seen the kittens eating yet though they have sniffed everything. They are having fun running around and jumping on each other though.

One month old

 Time flies. They now have small litter boxes that they are using. No access to the big ones yet to avoid them eating the clumping litter (it's a thing - like kids everything goes in their mouths until they learn better). Earlier in the week the room was moved around to look like this:

On Sunday 2 kittens managed to escape that so it was rearranged again:

Ambrosia isn't really sure how she feels about loose kittens but the crate is still their safe space and they climb back in there. 






Despite looking mildly grumpy for pictures, they are very sweet and all start chirping when mom goes in with them. Next step weaning but Ambrosia will help them with that. They've sniffed canned food but weren't really interested.
