The babies are starting to use the litter box--its so precious, and bittersweet to see them growing up. Ginger has such patience for them.

They are also loving their baby food, they look forward to a meal in the morning and evening.

Sesame (cream) is a busy body, adventurous and always in the middle of things.
Nutmeg (tortie) is nosey, contemplative and a good eater.
Sage (torbie) is sweet, curious and loves to nap with her brother Dill.
Dill (blue/white) is goofy, a fuzz ball and loves his belly rubbed.
Mace (black/white) is calm, careful and cuddley.

They will be looking for their furrever homes around June 15--they will be 8 weeks old

The babies had the first taste of real food today and they all loved it!!

They have mouths full of teeth and are just adorable as ever!

I'm not sure when it got to be the 15th but oh well.

The babies are on the move. Three of five have figured out how to get out of the nest box--all the girls...makes you wonder about the boys...

Little Miss Sesame the cream girl tasted her first bite of cat little today--it apparently wasn't good. Hopefully thats the end of that for her--I'm sure the others will try as well when they finally reach the box.

They are just adorable and Ginger is sweet as ever. She's so good with them, very patient with them now that they are so busy, she's a great mom.

The babies are 18 days old today, which means they've been here as long as Ginger was here prior to their birth. Life was very different 36 days ago.

I just weighed the babies and they are doing so good. Turning into little cats--sitting up right, holding their little tails up, playing with each other a little and getting close to climbing out of the nest box.

They are a blessing to me and I hope they are a blessing to their adoptive families.

Well the babies are 16 days old today and growing minute by minute!

Before long the nest will no longer be enough to contain them so I'm preparing to hook up the addition tomorrow and change their nest box to an open sided box--meant for kitten exploring!

Everyone seems to be passing the eye infection along but its not serious at all--they are getting more and more fiesty when it comes to getting meds in their little eyes!

Cream kitten is up to 3/4 of a pound today with the other 4 not far behind.

Apparently its been a few days since I updated--been busy!

Everyone is doing great--growing like weeds! The cream one's eye is doing much better, its not crusted closed anymore and no puss.

They are all quite active and hopefully by Tuesday or so I'll change their nest box to an open box so that they can start exploring--once they figure out how to escape the nest that is. I'll also add the extension to their cage at that point--they're going to need lots of room!

I think we have four boys and a girl but thats just my best guess!
