Kittens at 7 weeks

All this growing is exhausting!

When G was over yesterday, she commented on how much bigger Digory and Jadis seemed, even in just a week. Seeing them every day, it isn't so apparent to me, but seeing Jadis in G's lap I had to agree. I did wonder if there would be big gains this week. Well, G was spot on... approximately 200g for each of her two!


In fact they have all done brilliantly on the weight gain front, but the winner this week has to be Lucy, who has put on over 220g and left poor Caspian in the dust again. Even my more petite girls have made very pleasing gains indeed. What is it about babies putting on weight that is so very satisfying?


Mind you, I am not surprised. Last week the kittens, aided and abetted by Mama Indigo, got through two whole chickens (almost- I think the teenager had the legs of one), four 400g tins of Grau kitten food and 1 1/2 boxes of Whiskas kitten sachets. That's not including the James Wellbeloved kibble they have down 24/7 for snacking. It's not surprising they are growing really, is it, getting through all that!
