Don't separate them. It is just a comfort reflex. (and girl kitties could do it too).
Can't wait for those photos!

Glad to hear they are there with you. Your current three sound like my guys. I'm always jealous of those who introduce a new kitty with no issues.

I look forward to seeing pictures.

CAT-CONGRATULATIONS!!

I missed this at whole first time - glad it was bumped up.

I know how hard they can be on you, especially at beginning where they give some daredevils.

always remember it'll take time and double-attention for the older cats - those little kittens will be too busy having fun!

hope things would settle down very soon, again - congrats! they're so beautiful, lisa!

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure when they ended up at the rescue, (I'll ask Michelle) but it wouldn't surprise me if they were taken from their mom much too soon. The kitties made it through the night. We put them in the bathroom with their bed, food and litterbox. They did very well. No crying. Lots of exploring and used the litter box. This morning they are out exploring. Pepper is growing more interested in them. Halo and Cammie are still hissing and spitting.

We've chosen Willow and Willy for their names. Like I said, I haven't had a boy kitty in over 30 years. So, I have to keep reminding myself he is a boy. So, I started calling him Willy-Boy. The name Williwaw was already on our list (a strong mountain wind), but we shortened it to Willow.

Willow is much calmer than Willy and sat for a photo shoot. (Willy freaked out at the flash and ran under the bed.

So, we'll wait for another day or so before trying that again. Here's Willow...

My Gus suckled on his brother and 2 sisters.It's now getting less and less.

I'm glad that they're doing well and at least Pepper is becoming interested in them.

I love the names that you've picked out and Willow is gorgeous. Her coloring reminds me of pussywillows so this is a great name for her.

I know how hard it is to take pictures of kittens and even though Pearl is 1 she still usually won't still long enough to have her's taken. Please continue to update us and pictures are a must too.

Kuhio,

What gorgeous kitties!! They sure look like they've settle in. I'm so glad you got them. They are right where they belong.

Cangratulations on your new additions to the family.

Gosh they are beautiful cats and those pictures of Willow are so lovely.
She is gorgeous.

Just from experience, wasn't it a little too soon to introduce them to your crew though or is this the way you wanted to go? Just wondering.
