The kittens are 3 1/2 weeks old now - is it too early to put some kind of "collar" on them? I have a dear neighbor who is sooo excited about her
new "baby" that she went out and purchased a small collar, that I had to
remove because it was too big...I myself have not even looked at the stores...
The 'kids' are growing up quickly! How time flies!
Although they are still confined to the bathroom, I go in daily for playtime,
letting them strengthen their little legs and poking around, discovering
new things...
This video goes for about 2min - sorry, but I had to keep filming them!!
Sammi...
Sammi - the #1 candidate for Mother of the Year, has become the cat from he**!!
Maybe that's a bit extreme - but she's driving me NUTS!! All babies are fine, fat and laid back - mom wants them relocated to under my bed - I have plastic boxes and cardboard and duct tape, and thought I had it...
It started at 1:30 this a.m. - the kitten nest is right next to my bed - and I heard the constant baby crying - I'm a light sleeper anyway, waited for about 6 continuous cries, then put the light on to check on everyone - The 'runt' (which is now the 'pig') had backed its way out of the box and...

It's Day 2, and here they are!
LOL Sammi looks fierce here, but she was actually YAWNING!!
This is #1....
And another family shot...
OK - I have tried 3X to get the other pics here but I'm not having much luck - will try tomorrow...
The first night went fine, Sammi left to eat a few times...
At least I think I am. Every time that I've checked on the new babes, the black one is not eating. (But he did eat soon after birth) - I have tried to put him on a nipple, but he doesn't latch on. He is not the runt, their weights are as follows: (I'm actually weighing in grams but have...
What a day its been here! This morning after the kids left for school Sammi wanted to stay on my chest - and nothing else!! She showed no other signs of labor - not even nesting yet - (although my bedroom looked like a war zone with 6 different places for her to go!) I brought her into one of...
Sammi isn't quite ready -
She's still eating and sleeping and doing 'normal' things - but...she has now gone in and out of one of the boxes I prepared for her...yay! And she sleeps next to it most of the time - I think we're getting there, slow but sure! I'm certainly not gonna rush her through...
Thank you for all the incredible education I am receiving! I have been lurking in the background for a few days, trying to digest all the information you are sharing. In a nutshell, my "Sammi" seems to be due any day - I think. Unfortunately I do not know the dates, as it seems my cautions of...
