Wopndering how old you guys think my new foster litter is. The rescue cordinator guessed about 8 weeks. I think they are about 6 weeks. The largest weighs a pound the other two are a little less then that. Here are their pics. Their names are Hickory (tabby and white male), Willow (tabby and white female) and Ash (gray and white male).

In Ohio, with a houseful of Kitties
I am also fostering kittens, yours look about 6 weeks. A kittent that is 8 weeks old is usually around 2 pounds. Mine are about 5 weeks, the Tiger looking one is 20 ounces already and the other two are around a pound. I am weighing them every 3 days to monitor there growth. I will post a few pics from today so you can compare.

My three are much younger then these kittens. I had to give one a bath because he got poop all over himself and they are tiny! The fur just makes them bigger. Dawn said they were around 1 pound but I think shes wrong. Im gonna have to weigh them when I get home from work. I really dont think they are that big. From the size of them wet I think they are around 6 weeks old no where near 8 weeks.

Thanks. Im sure they will go very quickly we have a huge "waiting list" for LH/MH kittens. Albert the gray kitten that has been in the rescue for awhile has 20 application for him! We are trying to pick threw them but we keep getting more and more! So these babies are gonna go quick.
