The kittens are growing so fast! They were 4 weeks this past Sat. and they are all using the litter box already. The two grey & white ones are eating kitten food too. One has started biting fingers. Any suggestions to get her out of that habbit? They are running, jumping, playing, fighting and getting into everything they can. Here are some pics.

Look at them the day they were born:


And yesterday:


This is Lisa, she's the sweetheart of the bunch (but also a little biter!):


This is Bibble:


This is Mumble:


This is Baby & Lisa:


This is all of them playing, see Bibble peaking in the back?:


Last one is all of them trying to nap:

With the biting, it's really important to not play with the kittens with your hands. No waving fingers, no spiders creeping and if you are scritching or patting a kitten and they start to bite, get a little soft toy like a toy rat or folded pair of socks and redirect the biting to that. It's natural for kittens to want to bite, as this is how they play with each other and begin to establish their place and rank in the litter. You will probably notice that Lisa is the 'head' of the litter.

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely try that tonight when I get home after work. You are probably right about Lisa being the "head" of the litter. She is the one that comes running as soon as I open the bathroom door. She is the one that is always out the door first and has more guts to roam around where she isn't supposed to. lol She doesn't seem to be scared of much.

When Smeagol started trying to chew on fingers, I would let out a little cry and he would stop. I mimicked the sounds he made when Pippin played a little too rough with him and it really seemed to work.

My daughter Amber has convinced me to let her keep Lisa. She is the most affectionate of all of them and even comes to you when you call her. We are just in love with all of them though and it will be hard to part with the other 3.

Awww they are so gorgeous! I've been keeping a look out for your pics as I knew yours weren't far behind mine - they were 5 weeks yesterday! I can't believe how much they have grown and how much they've all developed in just 4/5 weeks! We've really got to treasure this time!

Our little black one is always first out to come and great us when we walk in the room - one of my friends is having her! It's funny how they all have their own little personalities and some are more adventurous than others! Luckily we know where each of them is going - my parents are having the tabby and another friends mum is having ginger - so at least i'll still get to see them loads!
