Bottle feeding and stool

[hmckinney]

haha, harley loves falling asleep on shoes.

i wanted to ask, is there a protein i can offer these guys? i give my cats some grilled chicken/fish every once in a while since they're predator animals and all, do you think offering a shred of chicken to these girls might be okay? or should i wait til they get a little older?

 

[Sarthur2]

They might be more interested when they are older. Aren't they still transitioning on mush?

 

[hmckinney]

yeah, they're still on mush! i think i'll wait til they're older to try it.

i got them some toys today and honey loves them! 

 

[Sarthur2]

I'll bet! They'll be playing like crazy kitties soon. I'm so glad they are doing well .

 

[hmckinney]

kittens are still doing well! i bought them a pink cat cube today and some toys, omg they love them. they keep hopping around the cat cube and sitting in it. 

 

[Sarthur2]

Cats do love toys and things to get in and on and under!

Isn't it fun to watch them play?

 

[hmckinney]

they're soooo fun to watch. and very relaxing too.

 

[handsome kitty]

So cute.  I think they'll have to go to the same home as a bonded pair.  Are you planning on keeping them?

 

[hmckinney]

if i was giving them away, they would totally have to go together... the two days i had harley isolated away from honey to keep the infection from spreading, honey was totally down and out. BUT i think i'm keeping these girls, i am so attached now that i couldn't even dream of parting with them. 

 

[Sarthur2]

They are already in their forever home! I think that's wonderful!

 

[hmckinney]

good news! they're eating solids now. i've got them on kitten kibble and they seem to like it.

i'm having so much fun with them!

 

[handsome kitty]

They are so adorable!

Are they all done with the antibiotics?

 

[Sarthur2]

They truly look so healthy now - it's a huge turnaround - thanks to you! It was a struggle for a while there, but it sure has paid off!

The girls are gorgeous! [emoji]10084[/emoji]️

 

[hmckinney]

hey guys! the girls are still doing good. they're eating fully dry food now and today we gave them some cooked chicken. they loved it, haha. they have their first vaccinations appointment this friday.

however, harley got a little infection still in her nose... even after two rounds of antibiotics. i'm planning on asking the vet.. but i hope it's nothing to be concerned about.

 

[handsome kitty]

They look great! Except for the nose.

Have you introduced them to your other cats yet?

 

[Sarthur2]

They do look great!

I would shred the chicken into smaller pieces though. Do they get wet food at all?

Yes, do ask the vet about her stuffy nose. It could be that she simply needs a round of a different antibiotic.

Let us know how the vet visit goes!

 

[hmckinney]

oh okay! i'll chop it up better next time.

they do, i buy them some kitten wet food at the end of every week!

and yep! they don't seem to have any problems with any of them. they're quite social with the fosters (which, btw, i found homes 5 of them recently!!!) and they already love the older foster, cammie, who sleeps with them and is kinda the nanny in the house.

i'll keep you guys updated!

 

[Sarthur2]

Aww! They have a nanny! That's sweet .

 

[hmckinney]

hey guys! i thought i'd post these update pics here too!

 

[Sarthur2]

They look so good! Thank you for sharing!
