Oooh, welcome to the fostering club! I think you will be great, with all your experience!

How are Bill and Ben doing today?

Bill and Ben are doing wonderfully. I've fitted a lace curtain in their box so that, although they're separated, they can see and sleep next to each other. They each have half a tray but don't know how to use it yet - that will come in time. I'm going to introduce them to wet kitten food on Monday, I'm hoping they'll like it! Of course, they'll still be getting formula as well. I'll post some pictures later on today.

Thanks Becki! It will be a far way off since we still have a few litters on the way. But you know TCS really has made me see the light!

He was! He had just had a nice warm bottle of formula. It works a bit like a sedative and they get all cuddly and tired afterwards.

Bill and Ben are doing very well. They're growing, putting on weight and love wrestling with each other and zooming around on the floor during play time. I'm still having to closely supervise them whenever they're together as they still try and suckle on each other's bottoms and Ben has started to suckle on himself, even though I'm applying a non-toxic but very nasty tasting liquid. I'm really hoping they'll grow out of this.

They had a visit today from a friend of mine and TCS member, NayaZ, who gave them lots of kisses and cuddles and gave them their bottle. They're beginning to eat a gruel-like mixture of wet kitten food and formula, as well as still having their bottle.
