We have babies!!! New baby pics #466

I think Winnie may be trying to incourage Angel to start eating solid food. Yesterday morning there was a cricket in Angels box. It was dead and had one leg missing so I doubt it jumped in there by itself. This morning was a grasshopper in the same state.

Isn't it sort of early for the baby to start eating solid food? She will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. She still is wobbly when she walks.

I'll get some kitten wet food to have on hand tomorrow.



Oh, I found out last night that the owner of the house Winnie came from had been planning on "hauling her and Angel off". I'm so glad they are mine now and safe in my shed.

I just got caught up on this thread. I'm so glad that you took Angel to the vet and that now her tummy is looking much better. She sure is a cutie pie. Winnie seems to be gaining your trust so hopefully she'll continue to be sweet with you and you'll also be able to adopt her. I'm so glad that you put them in your shed when you did so they didn't end up being hauled away. I hope that they both continue to thrive and do well.

I've had kittens start being interested in solid food as young as 3 weeks. 4-5 weeks is more typical for weaning to start.

Again.. God..... bless..... you!

Thank you so much for taking these darling girls in so they aren't just "hauled off."

I adopted a pregnant kitty (Princess Chelsea Pearl) and those babies just loved Royal Canin Baby Kitten food. It's little tiny kibble, looks kinda like Grape-Nuts cereal. I think they started trying it at around 3 1/2 weeks. I mixed it with KMR - it really looked like cereal then! Plus Chelsea loved it too - great stuff for a nursing mama cat..... If the momcat is bringing bugs to Angel I would say it would be safe to offer either wet kitten food or the baby kibble mixed with KMR.
And I have to say.....every day the first thing I do is go to Cat of the Day and see how Angel and Momcat are doing!

I'm so glad things are working out better

I'm glad you were able to take Angel to the vets, bless you for taking such good care of them.

I hope the neighbor lady who was also feeding momma cat doesn't
give you away to those jerks that left her & babies there. They should
stay right where they are loved & cared for.

Never fear, she doesn't like those people either!!!

If by some freak of nature, they did decide they want them, they will have to pay for the vet bills and all the food plus room and board for them. That would stop those greedy people dead in their tracks. I've used that method before, on Luke's, former humans. Besides, all I'd need do is refer them to the animal control officer who took their starving dogs.

That's good to know. They probably have forgotten the cat like they
did the poor dogs.

Just have to tell you about Winnie last night. I was so proud of her. A guy was over to that icky house hauling junk out of it. He had his daughter with him. I was sitting on my back porch when she invited herself over for a visit. (she is in the second grade she informed me)

She sat there and yaked and yaked. I could only understand about every other word. Anyway, Winnie let her play with her and never scratched or anything, even when the girl was a bit rough with her. I told the kid, who clamed her name was Taylor, not to be rough or mean to Winnie and she did pretty good. They both seemed to have fun! I didn't tell her about Angel in the shed. Some things are best kept mum at times.

Angel was playing with her own feet a bit ago. She kept rolling over. She is a pudgy one for sure. Her tummy is getting hairy now. So cute!!!

She is 3 weeks old today. I'll try to get new pic or two tomorrow.

Happy Week 3 Purrthday, sweet little Angel

You had a bit of a rough start in this world but there's a wonderful someone looking out for you and your Mommy. There are lots of things in this wonderful world just waiting for you to discover them. But you've already found the greatest thing of all... the love and caring of a human.

Continue to thrive and grow, precious little one. You are loved beyond measure

MOFF - I posted this especially for you, even though Winnie is being much better!
