Lottie, Alice and Henry all did really well during thier surgeries. Alice had an umbilical hernia repaired, and is not fighting fit. The three of them made the trip back to the shelter today, where they will go up for adoption.
Suey's eye is looking much better. She is being very good with her eye drops, and the swelling is pretty much all gone. Thankyou very much for your get better wishes for her.
First of all, Alice, Henry and Lottie went in to the vet this afternoon , as tomorrow they are having their special surgeries. They will go from the vet to the shelter for adoption. Even I will miss them, they were a cute bunch.
That's not the only thing! I got the shock of my life when I had to go into the vet with them! Some time over night I got hit in the eye, and when mum and dad got up this morning it was swollen shut. Fui and Lishy have been hiding out together on the spare bed all day. Guilty boys! I have to have antibiotic eye drops for the next five days, which is not fun for me or my poor mum who I intend to terrorise for those five days. The v-e-t put dye in my eye, and luckily there are no cuts or foreign bodies.
Aren't Sundays supposed to be restful?! I hope yours was moreso than mine!
Does this look like the butt of a kitten over a kilo to you? It does to the scales!
This little miss is super close, and we think she will pass the mark in the next couple of days.
We've been eating lots and lots and lots to fuel all of our crazy antics.
You burn a lot of calories when you are a kitten!
Happy Hump Day, everyone :)
Lottie and our two brothers have been staying with the shelter boss, as they were so little. Lottie is now 680 grams (Henry and I are both 850 grams). Unfortunately, one of our brothers passed away last week. Our other brother is only 270 grams, at 7 weeks old. We are really hoping that he will make it, but we're not sure if he will. He is staying with the shelter boss.
Lottie is recovering from an infection in the nailbed of one of her back feet, but is otherwise full of health and excitability. We had a little bit of a hissy time over the first 24 hours, but have also had cuddles and have played together. Henry has also been giving her tongue baths.
It's great to have my sister back :)
Whatcha gonna do?
Whacha gonna do
when we come for you?!
Guess what! We have exciting news! When Alice was dropped off at the shelter, she had a sibling with her. Her sibling was really really tiny though, about half the size of Alice. The little one wasn't expected to make it, and went to stay with the shelter boss instead of coming with us to our foster home. Well, the little baby now big, strong and has a clean bill of health, and is now just in need of socialisation from some similar sized kittens. Tomorrow, we will be getting Alice's sibling back!!! Hooray!!!
She has been putting lots of efforts into improving her speed and flicking ability while I call out pointers from my couch.
Today, I give her 9/10.
Well done, Alice!
But onto the fun stuff! Henry and I have been having a lot of fun with the track toy.
We have learned how to reach in and flick the ball now, and like to chase it like crazy.
We get so excited when we are playing, and will chase the ball around and around the track.
We have been playing really nicely together, and don't even whap each other in our excitement.
These are two short videos of us playing with our track toy. You can see Henry run really really fast!We hope that you get to do something this weekend that is a lot of fun! :)
Love Alice.
The last few litters we have had, I have happily sat and watched them. With this little girl, I am taking an active interest. I follow her around sometimes, and even had a little play!
It must be the eyes. They are pretty mesmerising.
So we are working very hard at snuggling with our triceratops and our heaty pad.
We think we're turning it into quite an art.
Would you like to join us? :)
Lishy and Fui thought we were wonderful, but I don't really blame them. Lishy went straight into what my foster mum called 'Sheriff Mode', and was following us about and trilling at us. Fui was cool calm and collected, and kept sending us love eyes.After all that playing, we crashed on our bed and had a really big sleep!
We have enjoyed spending our first weekend at Fui, Suey and Lishy's house. We are doing very well with our eating, and today ate our first bits of softened dry food mixed in with our stinky goodness. We also gobble up our milk formula. We are starting to put on some fat, which is good as our foster mum said we felt a bit bony when we arrived.
We are also doing very well with our litterbox, and have used it every single time. We enjoy cuddling up in our bed with our heaty pad, and snuggle with Pterodactyl.
Henry has a broken tail about 2cm from his bum, which makes it stick out at an angle to the side of him. It doesn't seem to bother him and he has no problems controlling himself with the litterbox. Our foster mum said it ads character.
We are getting along famously, and it is hard to believe that we have only known each other for a very short time. It is good to have a kitten friend to play with, and we have started to play lots of games together.
Our foster mum says that we are growing before her very eyes, so you might not recognise us next time you see our pictures. I will be sure to tell you that it is me talking :)
