One Week Old

One Week Old

Happy One Week Birthday, Kitties! I love the photo on the right because of the one in the back having his little mouth open. They don't snore, but they look like they might in this picture. Yawning, stretching, lurch-like walking, nursing and sleeping is still pretty much all these guys do. I think they are starting to open their eyes, but I'm still not sure how much they can hear. Once they do open their eyes, I'm gonna have to cut out the flash photography because any bright light might hurt their tiny little eyes.

Their skin (their nose and paws) are starting to turn from dark pink to dark gray like mom. Their weight continues to skyrocket, though today someone only gained 9 grams from yesterday. He was up 15 grams the day before, so still overall, well above average.

231g - Male [+16]
186g - Female [+15]
216g - Male [+18]
205g - Male - large white mark at throat [+14]
199g - Male - small white mark at throat [+9]

I'm wondering if any readers want to suggest names? It's still way to early to name them, if we get to name them - their new mommies and daddies may want to - but it's still fun to suggest and dream about what they might be called!

We do have a definite home for one of these babies too! Becker and Amanda are going to give one of these amazing kittens a home! They are great parents already to Dewey the dog and Lucy the cat.

They also have their first vet appointment in the books! Next Thursday I'll be asking Dr. Monica on when she recommends we get everyone fixed! Getting your pet spade/neutered is the best thing you can do for them and our #1 priority in placing them!
