Graduation Day - Corky & China 10/6/09
Well, the day has come. They've reached 2lbs in weight and learned their kitten manners. Now it's time for spay/neuter and on to find a forever home! These are terrific kittens who get along well with other kittens and older cats (even cranky ones!)

Kittens update 9/28/09
Delays, delays. This weekend was busy with a charity event raising funds for the local shelter. Much fun was had by all. I'll try to post some pics if anything good comes out.
The kittens continue to grow & play. They are well mannered now and spend more time outside of their kitten-nursery, allowed to play in the rest of the house as long as they can find the litter-box when needed!
Little Angus is still playing the shy-guy card, but he's joining the other kittens more as he sees what fun they have. He's just not too sure about me yet.
Corky will be 'graduating' this week. He's reached the 2 lb mark that signifies readiness to move to the next stage. He's a big boy now and ready to be snipped, get his kitten shots, and find a forever home.
The rest of the gang is making headway in the weight department, but still need between 3-5 oz to make the cutoff. More cute kitten pics soon!

Corky 9/12/09
Corky, now 1# 5oz, is still my runner/jumper boy. He's a real lover, too! Always looking for attention. When I'm standing in the kittens' room, he sits at my feet with one paw touching my foot....

Many happy purrs
Today is a good day. Gracie has decided to TRY liking people! She's started venturing out of her hiding spot while the rest of the gang is playing, she's sniffing my fingers & toes, and finally she's purring and letting me rub her belly... yea!
Not so much for Angus. He's still watching cautiously from behind the door... just great big eyes, so unsure of what's going on.
China is feeling better, playing with Cecily & the boys (Ernest & Corky). Corky is a 'corker' - always trying to be king of the hill, climbing whatever he can find (even if it's me).

6 kittens 9/8/09
So the 6 little kitties are settling in just fine, playing & napping in the sunbeams. Ernest is the wildest of the bunch; ready to bound out the door as soon as I approach the nursery room (that's the upstairs bathroom - totally taken over as kitten kingdom now).
I'm watching China-girl closely. She is the quietest of the crew, might be bordering on lethargic. She eats pretty well, but I'm feeding her separately to make sure she gets enough. Almost seems to be favoring one of her front legs slightly. She'll get some baby food and A/D in addition to the regular kitten food the others are eating.
Ernest & Corky are great playmates. Angus & Gracie are still a little stand-offish; seem OK with the other kittens but they don't like me much yet. Another couple of days will change their minds! Cecily is making little chirping noises while she eats... must really like it!

Corky & China 8/27/09
I picked up Corky & China on Thursday 8/27/09. They had been at the shelter since 7/28/09. I don't know much about those first weeks. I first met them in the shelter clinic on Friday 8/21/09. They were a little sick, small and needed hand-feeding at that time so they stayed in with the Clinic staff and became little favorites around there.
By the time I picked them up, they were eating well on their own, but were stayed on medication (flagyl) for another week. Corky had reached 1 lb. in weight, but China was only 12 oz.
They must have been well spoiled by the clinic staff! They are both very friendly and love attention. Corky is a male orange tabby. China is a female tri-color calico. She's a little smaller right now and a little quieter in general. When I am around them, she loves to run up to me and lie down at (or on) my feet! Corky is a pistol. Loves attention and always 'showing off' his latest tricks.
