Really??

 Tried to get individual pictures of the kittens since they are now 3 weeks old. Not a lot of cooperation. 


Waldorf (male)

Cobb (male)

Caesar (male)

Caprese (female)

Panzanella (male)

No one has escaped the crate yet but they are probably pretty close. Mom needs to sweep up in there since Ambrosia kicks litter all over and also get some non clumping litter for the kittens to use at first.

Mom was gone for a couple of days and apparently Waldorf forgot who she was:


And also just a shot of Buttons marching down the hall:

Getting bigger

 Ambrosia is relaxing some sad spending more time out of the crate. She still occasionally hisses at mom but we had friends over on Saturday and she was good with them and let them handle the kittens. One of our friends suggested getting a salad bowl:


While at the dollar store mom found a clear container to use to weigh the kittens too.

We had a few nice weather days so got some open windows.

We also have 3 kittens in the living room for a few days until surgery spots open up at the shelter on Thursday. Boba and Buttons have been a little confused by them. The gray boys are Dusty and Blue, their calico sister is Sugar (the shelter sends kittens to foster already named).

One week

 Momma cat has been renamed Ambrosia. Since the kittens were born on the 15th it lead to Ceasar then salads. Mom still isn't sure a out genders (though thinking right now 4 boys and 1 girl). 

Ambrosia is being a great mom. The kittens all weighed over 230 grams each on Sunday morning. An online weight chart says 1-2 weeks is 150-250 grams. So we have some overachievers. Ambrosia is still a little weird about some things: she hissed at mom when she was cleaning the litter box and also while filling the water dish. 

A friend came over Sunday and all the kittens were loved on as well as Ambrosia (and she was fine with the kittens being handled). All but one still hiss at everything and a couple are spitters.

We got a few things delivered so Buttons got a new box...until Boba stole it.
