Puzzles and Preparation

Events of February 18th 2015

Typically right before I'm due to go away on a holiday there's hiccups with kittens. *sigh*

Zazee's kittens have hit a plateau. They haven't gained in at least two days. Needless to say I've begun supplementing them.

Zeke seems to have it figured out...

I demand more food lady! ~ Zazu

(totally love the splayed "this is mine" paws of Zeke at the top)

Ziggy singing me the song of his people.

Trying to get Ruby to eat from a saucer instead of being a princess and needing to be spoon fed. I've had Ruby, Jasper and Tanz out for a run in the lounge but I don't have them out for very long considering their mother may stress a bit.

Oh the fun that can be had with a box

Bouncy kittens

All of them decided to look everywhere but at the camera...

Parents lured down to the floor to play with the kittens and their toys...

Finally! Hello there Tanz

Jasper claiming the newspaper as his own.

Pretty much weaning Zazee's babies. Or more to the point she's doing that herself. Its like they've hit close to four weeks and she's dusting her paws of them. She has been having issues with throwing her dinner up and not settling down to nurse.

Sapphire returned on the 23rd. She had her own bowel issues but the vet suspect she was gorging the food and therefore making herself have the issue. (I tend to have food available all the time for young kittens, sometimes bigger cats eat because its there and not because they're hungry).

Food is there to be eaten ~ Sapphire

Waiting at the vets to be seen

The vet did a quick snap test on Zazee for Feline Aids. She's been come and go as you please in her own home and in contact with other cats so there was a chance. Thankfully the test came back negative. It was decided that we would remove her during the day and put her back in with her kittens overnight and see if that helped. She had less milk than Sapphire.
