Zeus and Apollo hit 6 weeks yesterday and today the vet came over to give them their first check-up, deworming, and a distemper shot. In the course of the checking, she determined that Apollo is, in fact, an Athena. It's ironic since someone said early on that they thought Zeus may actually be a Hera. Zeus is definitely a Zeus, though. I had started noticing a difference, but I thought maybe Apollo was just lagging behind a bit. I have to get used to calling her a she and Athena now. It will take a little time to adjust.
The good news is that they're doing well and they're running around like little maniacs when they're not fast asleep. The bad news is that the blood tests came back FIV+. I know there's a good chance they can live long healthy lives regardless, but it will make the task of adopting them out a good deal harder.
I'm just hoping to find some good cat people who aren't daunted by the disease.
Regardless, they're still absolutely adorable, so here are some pics of the latest kitten cuteness.

Zeus. He was fascinated by that paper weight.
Can I come up? OK, I'm coming up anyway.

They were worn out after the visit from the vet today.
