I trapped these 5 kittens and their mum last week from one of the Google buildings. I've pretty much left them alone in a large cage since (except to change food/water/litter/blankets), since we had another litter of kittens in the same room in a separate cage, and to let them get used to me.
Yesterday 2 brave kitties licked food off my finger, last night one of them let me pat him, and this morning we had a big play session with Da Bird - the 2 brave ones came out of the cage and chased Da Bird all over the room, and wrestled together, and the other 3 kittens stepped out of the cage, and batted at the toy, but never actually ventured out to play.
It's awesome progress though, so I'm very happy. We've had some vomiting/diarrhea issues, but they're on just dry food, homemade wet food, and homemade Pedialyte now, and seem to be improving.
Anyway - here they are!
Little tabby checking out the toy - he's a scaredy cat, and keeps hissing at me
This is my brave boy who has had the vomiting and diarrhea, but lets me pat him
Black and white kitten at the front (he's another brave one who plays out of the cage - he gets Da Bird and runs away with it growling
), black kitten to the right, tabby in the middle, and pretty cream kitty on the left - the 3 in the cage are the ones who have stepped out of the cage, but not yet come out to play. The last black kitty with the white tuft on his chest was off playing with something else. You can see mum in the background as well.
All 5 kittens and momma
Look at the little cream girl!!!! She is gorgeous
