Tiny Tots Plus Two

After I took back the M's I was looking forward to kicking back with five kittens for awhile.

The tiny tot's were looking more like squirrels than chipmunks getting bigger every day. Their spines became less easy to feel and they began to have constant little round bellies.

In the last few days they've been given free reign on the floor for short periods of the day. They still go too fast and forget to turn corners but they're getting much better.

I offered them cat mince when I still had the four M's but only Cookie and Mittens had really shown interest. I offered it to them last night and I got swamped.

Not sure if it was because I heated it a little to take off the chill or what but they were climbing all over me and even into the container.

Mittens ran off with a slightly larger chunk and she was growling at anyone who dared try and take it off her.

Mince is yummy ~ Mittens

The tiny tots may not be so tiny anymore but they're still pretty darn cute. Today Koda and Cookie went to the vet for a check and first vaccination having reached 600 grams.

Needles? I don't like the sound of that ~ Koda

Mittens and Tigger may reach that milestone next with little Zorro holding his own but still lagging behind.

Hey that flashy thing ~ Tigger

Cute, Pretty Zorro

I was advised to worm them all again so they're not very happy with me at the present.

Stay away from me with that worming syrup ~ Tigger

When I returned the M's I mentioned I wouldn't be taking on any more kittens until at least Friday. First I need to clean the room and five kittens were still quite a handful. Thankfully their runny poop has ceased and they're doing proper A-grade little stools now.

Here's a few pictures from one of their floor romps...

Friday of course turned up with vaccinations for the two and an inquiry for who else needed foster care.

I had quite the choice.

A tabby-tortoiseshell long haired mother cat (like a grown up Mishka) she was absolutely gorgeous. She had one little kitten maybe a week and a half old. It looked to be dark ginger tabby with white.

A Calico (or Torti and white) mother cat (who decided to pop one out in the sales room...OOPS) she had a very pale ginger tabby with white and she's extremely protective of it.

A white with grey spot mother cat with three kittens. She's quite lucky. She'd given birth to one dead kitten on Monday morning and it was only during an emergency spay that they found she had any live ones left. We'd expected them to all be dead. She has an assortment of grey tabbies with white.

Lastly were two brown tabby kittens possibly 5 weeks old but weighing low to mid 400's. Since the other three lots of kittens weren't doing anything more than eating and sleeping I decided to take on the two orphans.

Cotton is a little brown tabby girl with a very loud voice.

Percy is a brown tabby and white boy that was only found and brought in this morning.

Cotton would like you to know that her brother Percy is shy

There may be more from this group as the person that keeps finding them in their back yard expects they are hidden not too far away.

Until Next Time....
