Day 38/49/56 Getting Bigger

Mom says she's very sorry for not posting for so long.  She's been spending far too much time playing with kittens and not enough time typing for me!  In her defence, the weather has been nice and we've been going to the dog park so I've forgiven her.  We've been to the dog park a couple of times with Sierra and it was great that we got to see her again.  She's settling in with her new family very well.  I think she's even starting to like cats.

The kittens have been getting bigger every day and learning new things.  This week they learned how to use the litter box, which Mom says is a pretty big deal.  She didn't see Fiona show them how to use it and Mom is amazed that they just knew how to use it all on their own.  They also learned how to climb stairs and a couple of them learned how to scale the side of the bed.  Yesterday they all got their nails trimmed so they won't be able to get up onto the bed.  They didn't get their nails trimmed for this reason, but more so that they will stop ripping Mom to shreds with their little sharp claws.

They are all eating well too.  Seamus and Kenna are still gobbling up the soft food.  Kieran and Kiefer have still not eaten a single bite of it.  They smell it and act repulsed.  Mom softened some kibble but they wouldn't eat any of it either.  They've gone straight to eating the hard kibble.  At first Kieran would just lick all the pieces in the bowl but now Mom hears crunching so they are definitely eating it.  They also drink a bit of water.  Fiona is still feeding them lots so no one is going hungry that's for sure.

After lots of exploring everyone gets pretty tired.  They can go full speed for about 30 minutes and then it's nap time.

Sometimes they all like to snuggle up together.  They all love the cat bed!  This is where they sleep at night now.










Sometimes they go off and find a quiet place to sleep on their own.  Seamus tried to get up one more set of stairs but was too tired to make it all the way.

 Kiefer found a pillow to sleep on.

Kenna likes to sleep by the couch.  Yesterday Mom searched all over because she was sure Kenna went down stairs, but found her sleeping behind the couch.











Kieran didn't feel like having a nap so he didn't get his picture taken.
