Monty would like to get out of his box, please.
So would Wendell. Mama has her eye on you, Wendell!
Kenneth is happy to sit there and be told how adorable he is. And have his chin rubbed.
Hello there :)
Christmas morning started off badly for us, with the kittens making truly awful weight gains (still no losses to date though) and so four of them were supplemented twice over the course of the day.
I tried a different tactic with Indigo and mixed in a good handful of kitten kibble to her wet food to try and persuade her to eat more... the minx only went and ate the food around the kibble, leaving the soggy biscuits in the bowl!! So I tried feeding her turkey. At first she wouldn't eat it, so I tried putting a little wet kitten food on top, which worked, she gobbled the lot. So yesterday evening I fed her a LOT of turkey with a bit of cat gravy drink the cats got in a stocking
(yes, I am that sad, the cats get Christmas presents... hehe)
As a long term tactic it isn't great... turkey on its own isn't complete nutrition for cats, but if it tempts Indigo to eat, I'm fine with that as a temporary measure. And to make matters much better, this morning showed a much better weight gain all round, with Kensey putting on a massive 27g... more than his combined weight gain for the previous four days. I weighed him three times to make sure I hadn't mismeasured! The others' gains were much more modest, but still in the acceptable range. Phew!
Aside from their weight, the kittens make good progress. They are very active now, and taking an interest in their surroundings and in people. They're pretty cute!
