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 […]
Kittens – day 4 update Read More »
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
