Kittens are growing

The kittens are growing!  They are fast and bouncy and fun!  They chase ping pong balls and feathers and anything that looks like a toy or a game.  They have learned to use the litter box outside and Kaylee is learning how to scoop that!  They get to take turns coming inside for some cuddle time and play time throughout the days.  Mittens will sneak her way inside whenever she can as well. 

There are 3 boys and one girl.  Felix, Covey, & Gravy are the boys.  Rona is the girl. 

Mittens brought her kittens a dead baby bunny 3 times in one week.  She brought it up to the kennel, put it in, and stepped aside for them to eat.  She knew they needed more than just her milk at this point in their growth.  What an amazing motherly instinct.  So it was at this point that we decided to buy kitten food.  We bought some canned food and dry kitten chow and they eat that stuff up!  Some of the kittens are territorial when it comes to food.  One of them, Gravy, would not let any other kittens touch those dead baby bunnies and he would NOT let go when we tried to get it away from him.  Another kitten, Felix, the largest of the bunch, is territorial about his kitten chow.  He puts his paws over the entire container to make it harder for his siblings to get to the food.  And sometimes he will intentionally and forcefully stick his paw in the way of his siblings or on them to stop them from getting a share. 

Its likely that the 3 boys will be heading to the Owen's to join their household.  Madison wants one kitten and Melissa Owen wants 2.  We will see!! They head to the vet in a week to get shots.  This has been so fun for all!
