Posted by in cats The kittens are one month old today. They’ve moved out of the nest into their own apartment – the brown and beige cat cave you’ll see in the video here. That’s where they sleep now, giving mom cat Amelia some time on her own. They have started to use their litter box – woo hoo!…Read more »
Posted by in cats Big changes happening this week. The kittens – especially the black one (who is not so black anymore…more in a bit) — were about to breach the birthing box, so we had to move on to stage two in the foster room. The birthing box was in a big dog crate (think Labrador size) and…Read more »

Their eyes are all…Read more »

They are getting close to being able to regulate their own body temperatures, so I took them out of their cozy crate for a few moments so you could…Read more »

Chasing cats is so much fun for her, and not very much fun for the cats, and with the help of our trainer K., we are making progress. Two photographs as evidence: Pretty good, right? And truly, Gracie is making progress on…Read more »
Posted by in cats While not much happens with tiny kittens from day to day, still they are growing. They have all doubled their birth weight and then some which is just as it should be. They can’t walk yet, but they pull themselves around and move pretty well, or as fast as a kitten dragging his or her…Read more »
Posted by in cats A day in the life of a newborn kitten is not terribly exciting. Important, but not at all exciting. They sleep and they nurse and that’s really about it. You could go read War and Peace or Moby Dick and you wouldn’t miss anything much. But they are all doing very well gaining weight –…Read more »

It is now official, and it is my surprise #2. Clients have been notified, and come May 31st Marley and I are moving on to the next phase of our lives.…Read more »
