Sorry I haven't been around lately. Between my own 5 kitties, round the clock frequent feedings of the fosters, work, and general household chores, I've been very busy and tired lately, so I haven't been online in a while.
Ok enough with my whining lol, and on with the update and pix!
Sassy & Sabrina are now eating from a bowl!! They aren't real thrilled about it, and would prefer the bottle, but they can eat on their own. I have kitten food mixed with KMR in the bowl. I think they just plain like making a terrible mess by stepping in the food and then shaking their feet so it flies all around the room and on each other! ROFL
Josh still won't pay any attention to the bowl, but he seems to be almost a week behind the girls in learning/doing things. I'm seriously wondering if he's even from the same litter.
Sassy & Sabrina use their sandbox all the time now, and have a great time throwing litter all around! lol Josh poops in his litter but frequently will pee on himself, requiring many 'butt baths'. Vet says it's because his 'wee wee' is so inflamed from Sassy suckling on him and to just give him time to heal. I have him separated most of the time from the girls otherwise Sassy goes after him again, or Sabrina plays way too rough for the little guy! Josh also had an eye infection that I had to put salve in. His poor eyes were stuck shut one morning, but they are wide open now!
BOBBLE TIME (aka, playtime)- Sassy and Sabrina can really RUN now! Sabrina is working on her jumping skills now, she can also hiss if you snatch her away from somewhere she's not supposed to go, now THAT'S a torti for you! lol Josh is just now working on 'bobble jogging', and sometimes will play wrestle. Sassy likes to grab the toy mouse and run off with it like she's got some kinda prey! lol The mouse is almost as big as her head! ROFL They all try to act like 'big kitties' by arching their backs, and hopping sideways trying to look impressive. They are so entertaining!
I got the ok from the vet to let my kitties spend some time with the kittens here's the results....
Dusty - Sniffed each kitten over as I brought them to her, then stared at me like 'oh no, not more cats in the house?' lol
Jack - Came in the computer room, kittens running all underneath him. He was ok with it at first, until he went into a corner to sniff something, and all the kittens decended on him wanting to play (course they only come to his ankles) and Jack got scared, backed up and hissed, so I took him out of the room.
Bear - is TOTALLY TERRIFIED of them! I can't even take a kitten to him to sniff, he runs and hides. If he even sees me with just a towel in my hands, he thinks it's Josh getting a bath and runs away! Scaredy cat! lol
Pooky - is also scared of them, but if you take a kitten to him while he's in one of his baskets, then he'll at least look at them, but cower down with huge eyes. lol
Cami - has not actually gotten to meet the fosters, she saw them once and growled loudly so I'm afraid to let her near them.
Ok enough dialogue, time for what you've all been waiting for....the PIX!!! (all of these were taken today).
