As the weeks go flying by, the lights are slowly switching on in all of these little brains. I decided to start this post with pictures of all five kittens to show how much they've grown and matured. As of last night, all of them have used the litter box and had "real" food. On Saturday, Mister and I take the kittens to start their shots, which means they are free to go home with whoever wants them. Sad I know, but Mister and I are going to try and hold onto them as long as possible.
Over this past holiday weekend, Mister and I made it our priority to try and get Belly, Savannah, and Schrodinger caught up with Monkey and Socks when it came to food and litter use. As it turned out, Belly's name is becoming more appropriate with each and every day. We tried using wet food to entice the three into eating grown up food and Belly took to it immediately!
Meanwhile, Savannah and Schrodinger could not stop nursing; they would even try while Kitty was eating! So last night, I brought all of the kittens into the bathroom and kept Kitty out. I then gave all the kittens three options of food: dry kitten food, wet food, and a mixture of wet food and a formula called Kitten Milk Replacement (KMR). While Monkey, Socks, and Belly were gorging themselves on the shmorgasbord before them, Savannah and Schrodinger wanted nothing to do with the food. I even went so far as to put their little paws and faces into the mixture so they were forced to taste it! After trying for a long time, with no success, I let Kitty in and filled her bowl with adult cat food. All of a sudden, Savannah and Schrodinger are starting to eat! Who would have thought the adult food would entice them!
As they are getting older, they are also getting more fierce when playing; teeth and claws are always out, especially with us! I remembered reading somewhere that straws are a good way to train kittens that fingers are not for biting, so I bought 100 neon straws and threw a bunch on the living room floor. Who knew they would be so much fun!
These little guys are also starting to climb all over the place! Since they moved into the living room, Mister and I had to watch them and make sure they didn't chew on the wires behind the TV. We solved that problem by putting a box around the TV stand! Now they are climbing all over everything and wherever they can!
