I'm glad the three are holding strong. Prayers that they continue to do well.

The remaining 3 babies have turned into the three little pigs. They are all three eating very well. Soon as we put them back in their bed after feeding them Poof the are out. I would hope this means they have gotten their little bellies full. But we are not going to let our guard down cause I know in the back of my head that could change. It could get a lot better or a lot worse. So we will still feed and prey. Well thats todays update,,,,,,, After next feeding I will take and post more Pictures.

You all have done such a tremendous job with these babies; what an incredible amount of effort and love it takes to nudge these little ones from helpless kittens to babies who can move around on their own.

All that good food and love have gone a long way. Keep up the good work! (and post often!)

On one of the babies we can see its eyes. Its about 1/3 of the way open is this a good thing?, or could it have been scrached open by one of the other babies?

I do not have an answer to your question, but I am very happy to read that the wee threesome are doing well!!

It is probably time they open on their own.. The Mama could have had them somewhere else and moved them into that closet and they are older than we think... Watch the rest and see if theirs start opening in the next few days.

Today as I was feeding the little ones I noticed one eye completely opened. So I dacided I needed to do a little more research on this, So I returned to http://www.animalhelp.com/library/ar....cfm?artid=149 and then I read that Kittens are born with their eyes closed; their eyes open 7-14 days after birth. So this is a good thing. Now on to the better news after feeding the little ones I was hold the little one with one eye open and guess what I am hearing..............The baby was PURRRRRRRRing even a better sign. This tells me he is happy and content...

Awwww! A purring infant kitty! That is wonderful and it means the baby is happy and content.. You & Rhonda are doing such a good job with them. Kep up the good work and all your efforts will be rewarded with some happy healthy kittens.
