He looks like he may have a flatter face than the others? It will be interesting to see what they look like as they get older. Dad has quite a flat face but Mom not as much? Ughh so cute.

Mom is not a flat face, she's a doll face. Even their father doesn't have a flat face, just appears to in the picture. He's not 100% doll faced but definitely doesn't have a flat face. But yes the gray one does have a flatter face. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

It's not easy, but if you know that the homes are excellent it is easier.

True.

So I got a scale, but I don't think it matters that much after 2 weeks.. Still fun though. I'll weigh them when I get home! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

How much should they weigh & be gaining daily by now?

At two weeks they need to be about 8 ounces, and 12 ounces at 3 weeks, and 16 ounces at one month. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

They are doing wonderfully! All are over the target weight for their age. It's good to weigh them again at 3 weeks, and then at 4 weeks to be sure. [emoji]128077[/emoji]

I'll weigh them everyday, it's fun and I'm paranoid. [emoji]128514[/emoji]

I currently have 14 kittens (two large litters) and I am also wondering how I will part with all of them! I love them all so much! I have been fostering for over two years and it never gets easier!

Don't give them away - just start a cat farm.  Hehe
I would if I had the money for all the vet bills. [emoji]128546[/emoji] I might keep one of them, the gray one or the girl, but that depends on mom.

Aw! It's actually one of the reasons I'm not allowed to foster. We all get too attached [emoji]128517[/emoji]. Amazing work, though! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

I fostered 2 kittens once. I had them for less than 2 days. I was just about to delete the ad and keep them when a woman said she wanted them. I tried to find something wrong with her! I couldn't. So I had to let her have them.
Clearly I'm not cut out to be a kitty foster mom.

I actually think they're all boys [emoji]128514[/emoji]

New weights!

Blond kitten who I thought was female but now I think is male: 287.5 g (+12.5) I didn't like this one much because this was a two day gain, not a one day gain.

Blond kitten whom I know is male: 304 g (+25)

Gray kitten: 321 g (+25)

White kitten: 335 g (+24)
