ginnyinWI's JournalWe are eight weeks old!
We are foster kittens and are getting so big! Our foster mom lets us run all over the house--but we mostly stay upstairs because we know our way around. We met her two cats, who hissed, but like to watch us play from a safe distance. Our mama wants nothing to do with the strange cats downstairs!
We can jump so high, and climb everywhere. We go into the spare bedroom down the hall where there are boxes to climb and a big window to look out of. The window in our room is too high for us and only Mama can jump up there (but we do look longingly for a way to get up there, too!) We found some dry leaves from the plant in the spare bedroom and they are great for carrying around. Everything is a game, and everything is a toy! Here are some pictures Foster Mom took this week:

Foster kittens seven weeks old
They're getting more and more rambunctious! Can jump up easily to a surface 20 inches off the ground, and climb up onto the bed and fly across it in a flash! They chase and pounce at top speed and are starting to drive their cat mama a little crazy. She still nurses them, though, and tries to give them their baths! Two weeks from today they will probably be back at the shelter getting ready to be put up for adoption.
Here's what's been going on in the kitten room this week:
Eating: all are eating wet food well, and beginning to crunch dry kibble too, if it is in their wet food dish. Some are lapping water from the dish, and some are still scared of it! This is Max.

Playing: they all still love their paper pile! This is Ellie playing peek a boo.

Growing: You can now easily see the difference between Milo, left and Max on the right. Milo has a longer muzzle and will no doubt be a big dude orange cat! Max is the same size, but his face is more round.

Cuddling: still like to nurse on Mama Greta and she doesn't mind. She still calls them to her.

Tumbling: Here is Alfie showing off his belly spots!

Climbing: Mama likes to get away to the top of the shelves and look out the window. Ellie would really like to figure out how to get up there, too! (Note: see what I had to do to the lamp plug and night light to keep them from being pulled out and/or chewed on! Duct tape to the rescue.)

Eyes: they are all in the process of turning green. Still have some blue around the edges. Alfie's remain the most blue, and the others' are greener. Maybe his eyes will be a darker shade because he's darker overall.

We are six weeks old!
Hi DU Pets group! We will be six weeks old tomorrow, so our foster mom, Ginny took some new pictures! We went to the shelter yesterday and saw the vet and got our first vaccinations and routine dewormer. We were very sleepy last night as a result, but sure made up for it today! Mama also got her tests and shots, so she's all up to date, too.
We have two cubes now, and a shredded paper pile to tumble in!
