Ever since her near death experience (-1 life
) she's so much better. She's regularly pooping and using the box sometimes, she's 10x more playful as well. They just hit 6 weeks. Poppy is 1.4 lbs as of today and Piper is 1.1, so the progress is definitely getting better. Not quite there, but.... They are both 100% weaned now and are on Royal Canin babycat, because they're so small. One thing though, they hate wet food... is this normal? Pics in next post.

They do need the wet food for hydration. If dry food is left out all day then they won't be hungry enough to eat wet. It may also be the brand. They may not be too crazy about it. Try some others to see what they like.

BTW they are very precious. So adorable.
Little fluffy lovables.

So glad to hear she's doing better!


I don't know about the food, my guys were such little piggies. I nearly always had wet and dry food and "kitten mush" (KMR soaked dry food) out. The wet and dry were technically for mommy, but I know the kiddies ate more than she did! So yeah, maybe you should try a different wet food. All I know is, my guys always had dry food out but were NEVER to full to eat the wet / kitten mush!


And, despite that, mine are tiny. At 8 weeks, they're about the same weight as your two at 6.


As always, Piper and Poppy are little heart breakers!

My kitten prefers mushier wet cat food. He likes "Grammy's Chicken Pot Pie" by Merrick- it looks just like chicken soup/pot pie with a soupy consistancy- he loves it.

OMG!!! Your Poppy looks like my Latifah!!! Scarey how identical they are...Lol!
My kitties have dry out at all times, and get wet food also...but I don't leave it out for very long; they still know when it's comin' though...
