Lola came looking for some food so while she ate I took my camera in.  

Today they are 2 weeks old, and seem to be doing very well. I’ve taken a set of photos on the scales and they are all gaining and growing – from an average of 83g 2 weeks ago they are now an average of 242g, so have almost tripled their birth weights. I’ve also taken

Had a quick look today and I’m fairly sure the large fawn is a girl and all the rest are boys.  Don’t worry, I won’t be posting the evidence here!

I’ve managed to get some more photos by leaving the SLR in the bedroom, and shutting Lola out when she went to eat.  The kittens all look and feel well and I’ll weigh them and do separate photos on Tuesday as it’s their 2 week birthday.  Their eyes are all open and their ears are

This morning Lola was rather too interested in the laundry basket, so I moved it into a shut room.  I had some PC work to do and when I went back in to check them they were gone from the ‘pouch’! My neighbour came round to fix my side gate – he has replaced the rotten bit

Weighed them all again this afternoon and the smallest kitten is 100g now which is really good.  In all they have put on almost 50% of their birth weight so are on course to double it by a week old.  I am pretty sure the smaller fawn is a boy, and the larger fawn and the

I weighed them all again this afternoon (4th July!) and took photos of all of them on the scales, and the weight gains are so much more than yesterdays.  They are also looking bigger and plumper.  Lola is a lovely mother, though she wasn’t sure what to do when she sat on one yesterday and
