The Kittens have Visitors!

Callie and her kittens entertained four visitors from the Queen of the Valley hospital food service department, on Friday, left to right, Jessika, Camille, Carrie, and Debbie. They were well behaved for their first official visitors. (Visitors are always welcome, email Lilian).

Recently, Callie and the kittens visited the vet for a well mother examination, and he pronounced them all to be healthy. Callie had a full blood workup, and the lab results showed everything to be fine.

Below, Carrie holds Lily and Flower, who she'll be adopting when they are ready to move on.

Four Weeks Old

Callie's kittens are four weeks old today. They're still working on their climbing skills.

Flower and Lili (calico) are females; Ooopsie and Em (striped) are males; Bear, the black kitten, is yet to be determined.

Kittens Finding Their Legs at 3 Weeks

Callie's kittens are starting to get around the kennel, although somewhat wobbly. You may notice at one point that Callie seems concerned about something she sees outside the pen. That was Shadow, one of our other cats.

The Kittens Thank You

Lilian and Kittens - Twelve Days Old

The title on the video says "Ten Days Old", but I realized they're actually twelve days old today (Saturday, March 10), as they were born on Monday, Feb. 27.

Nine Days - Eyes Just Starting to Open

It's day 9, and the kittens are doing great - eating well and, of course, sleeping most of the time. Today the eyes are just starting to open for a couple of them. Callie seems very content. She eats three times a day and drinks her special milk for nursing cats.

As the picture shows, there are two calico, two striped, and one black kitten.

Five Days Old

Feeding (and fighting).

Three Days Old and All's Well

Their eyes should be opening soon.
