The First Week

2/27/2011

 
Emunah has been a super mum caring for her kittens however this week has been exhausting for me caring for mum and kittens.  Emunah hasn't had enough milk to feed her kittens so I have been topping them up with kitten milk day and night.  They are now beginning to make nice weight gains and grow in strength.  Sadly we lost the Lilac Tortie girl on Wednesday.  Now we are at a week old the kittens are having most of their milk from Emunah and I am only having to top up a little.  They are moving around and have lovely rounded tummies and there are lots of scraps at milk time.  Most of the kittens openned their eyes every early at a day or two old and now they are even beginning to purr.
Emunah has shinned my lovely new heated kittening box, prefering instead to have the kittens in my underbed drawers.  Luckily she allowed me to take the clothes out and pop some vet bed and a heat pad in first!
