You've done a great job hissy...

I hope they all make it.... they didn't even look one week old in the first pic, when did they open their eyes?

Three weeks old and time to re-socialize with each other- they were separated due to major suckling problems.




And also time to introduce them to the other cats- Prowler was first-



Here she is looking at me like- "What the heck are these mom?"



And finally- acceptance-

They were only a week old when I got them. Their umbilical cords were attached and when they were first found they were all stuck together.


Their eyes didn't open all at once- Matuse was the last kitten to have her eyes open, and I think Massey might be blind. I am not sure, he is to little to find out but he acts much like a blind kitty acts. The first kitty that had his eyes opened was Sonic at 12 days old-

Thanks for the pictures MA, they are darling. I hope that Massey isn't blind, but even if he is, a blind kitty can have a good life with the right caring owner. Bless you for taking such excellent care of these tiny ones. Hugs

MA...your pictures of Prowler with the kittens are delightful. She is such a good girl.

It is amazing that any of them survived. I don't know how you had the courage to take on the task of caring for them. They are very lucky furbabies. I said a special prayer for sweet Massey today.

Thanks for the update.

When I am feeding and am sitting on the floor Prowler crawls in my lap and gives the kitten I am feeding a bath. I get peed and pooped on, but I don't care- Prowler is a good mama now. It took a bit for her to warm up to them. I think at first she thought they were mice!

How sweet of Prowler! Do you think the kittens believe it is their Mother? How comforting that must be for them! I am so glad to hear they are doing so well! I will continue to keep them in my prayers! And you also!

Prowler...I am so sorry I called you a boy in my last post. You are gorgeous. I should have known by your gentle way with the kittens, that you were female. Please forgive me.

Thanks for the update MA.
A question...how are the kitten's lungs doing? Have they cleared up? I am going to miss reading about your sweet babies when they go to their permanent homes.
