First the sad news
I've been away for a bit over a week, and hubby was looking after the kittens in my absence. Little Charlie, the handsome little tabby developed weakness in his back legs that got worse over the last few days. I got home yesterday and took him to the vet who diagnosed as a congenital spinal defect and said he would only get worse, not better
I made the very tough decision to have him euthanised. DH and I are devastated.

This is him is healthier times:



But the other 2 kittens are doing very well and have grown a heap since I left, and are much more active now.

This is from this afternoon - I only had my iPhone on me, but they're good enough


Sun - oooh mum got new food! (she's a good eater)



Yeah! I might actually eat this one (Kate still prefers mum's milk!)



Receipts are the funnest toys!



Having a quick breather



After an hour of solid playing, they finally crashed, so I took the opportunity to have a cuddle - I plonked Sun in my arms, and she sprawled out and stayed there
She finally got her motor going and looked very content. Made my day - first time she's snuggled with either hubby or me, and first time she's purred from us patting her

I'm so sorry about Charlie.


Having Sun crash out on you like that and actually purr had to bring a little
back into your heart, though. She's one gorgeous little girl!

They are so cute.... I am sorry about
Charles
... Isn't there a virus that makes the back legs weak in kittens? I remember reading something like that... for the other two

Oh such sad news about Charlie!
You guys have really had a rough road with this litter, I'm so sorry!


Kate and Sun are absolutely gorgeous!
They're just the cutest!


Have you put out any feelers for homes for them when they're old enough? I would imagine they'll get snapped right up!

I haven't had time... between a last minute dash back to Australia, 2 uni assignments due, and end of semester exams in 2 weeks, I just haven't had time! I don't even have any good photos of the little ones...

Your furry ray of sunshine, Miss Sun and little Kate, have a great chance at a wonderful life, thanks to you Sarah.


Sending love to you, Mama Gigi, and her precious babies.


Charlie
