Another Graduation - Ernest 10/8/09
Big, fluffy Ernie ... he looks bigger than he is underneath all that fur so it took him a while to reach the 2 lb graduation weight. He's going to be a big sweety; all cuddles and lots of lounging. A very laid-back kitty. Good luck to Ernest in his forever home.

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!

Ernest 9/12/09
Ernest will be one of those sweet, soft, kind cats - a gentle giant. He's still clocking in at 1# 8oz today, no gain this week. Must be all the playing. Such a sweetheart!

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!

Ernest & Cecily 9/7/09
Picked up 4 new fosters today (9/7/09 - Labor Day). Two sets of siblings from different litters that I'm adding to Corky & China at home.
The first pair is Ernest and Cecily, brother & sister. Two brown tabbies, but very different. They arrived as strays on 8/29/09. Best guess at age is about 2 months, so they were probably born in early July.
Ernest is going to be a big cat, if his paws are any indication. A real lady-killer... he's very handsome. Might turn 0ut to be slightly medium-haired or he might 'grow into' his hair-length later on.
Cecily has more delicate features and one of those really sweet little kitten faces that just melt your heart.
Both are really friendly and doing well in their new foster home. They made friends with Corky & China right away. Actually, Corky seemed to fall in love immediately with the lovely Cecily, while she seemed to want to become BFFs with China.
Ernest (I think he'll end up being called Ernie) is the biggest of the crew at 1 lb 7 oz today. He's taking the 'big brother' role well. Cecily is smaller at about 1 lb 4 oz.
Pictures will follow....
