We have two tiny kittens!

Fortunately, the pissed-off-kitten look is only momentary. I can hear Dolly’s thoughts…
“I hate you, Mama. Would you feed me again, please? Purrrrrrrrr.”

Heh. Ain’t it the truth. Have you explained to them that KMR will dry into a cementlike substance? Do they believe you?

Yay for Henry for using the litter box.

How cold is it getting at night where you are? Do the babies have a heat source at night? They need to use their energy for growth and play, you know.

Pinkfreud, you have got to submit that picture of Dolly to My Cat Hates You!

And they still have blue kitty eyes!

::swoons from cuteness::

Yes, kitten burps can be very loud. Bigger than the whole kitten, as a matter of fact.

The kittens are currently living in a large bathroom that has an electric space-heater in it. It is toasty and nice in there. Some nights, it’s the only comfy spot in the whole house. To save money, we are leaving the central heating thermostat set at 55 degrees Fahrenheit, which feels a bit nippy even to my Canadian husband.

Done! It will be interesting to see whether they publish it on the site.

I’m sure Dolly doesn’t really hate anyone. Momentary bath-peevishness just photographs as intense, psychotic hatred, that’s all. When I look at some of my high school yearbook photos, I see much the same look on my face, even though nobody was trying to give me a bath at the time.

YAY! Bathed kitten pictures! She looks bigger than the last pictures you posted, PinkFreud. Go Dolly, go Dolly…(and Henry, too, of course)

Henry is now eating canned kitten food along with his formula! Dolly seems interested in the smell of the canned food, but just dabs her face in it rather than eating it. Both kittens are steadily gaining weight, and they can run fast enough to escape the bathroom when we open the door. Big dogs are waiting on the other side. Fortunately, these are big dogs who looooove kitties.

Here are new pix of Henry and Dolly. It looks to me as if Dolly is starting to sprout some 'nads, so a name change may be imminent. The obvious choice is Dali, since there is a certain surreal aspect to all of this.

YAY!

A male torbie is pretty surreal…

The torbitude is in doubt at this point. Dolly/Dali’s markings look more like a brown tabby now. Mostly stripes, without as much of the the marbled tortoiseshell appearance.

Heh. I have a space heater in my day room (computer room/library/game room) and all three of our cats love to lounge in front of it when it’s on. I was a bit worried about your kittens because tiny babies of any species have a hard time keeping warm enough without an outside heat source, such as a mom.

Worry not. In addition to the space heater, which keeps the room nice and warm, we have two hot water bottles under the kittens’ bedding. Each time we feed the kitties, we heat up the hot water bottles. Those little fuzzbabies are as cozy as can be.

You’re a good momcat, pinkfreud.

I will second that! Both of the fuzzbutts look wonderful!

I love the way both of them look like they are thinking hard about what trouble to get into next. Definitely getting very healthy!

Pinky - can I grab the pissed-off photo of Dolly for an LJ icon? I have a particularly obnoxious troll that I want to harass over there.

Having to see a beautiful long haired siamese put down because her back was broken when she got hit by a car broke me of that feeling. :frowning:

Sure, you’re welcome to use Dolly’s pissy pic! I’m sure Dolly would be delighted to know that her image is being used in the harassment of trolls. As soon as she is old enough to go online, I’ll explain all this to her. Or perhaps I should say “to him.” It’s looking more and more as if Dolly is a boy. There’s more lumps down there than a girl oughta have, if you know what I mean.

So glad to hear that they are doing well.

What would the minimum age for cats to go online be :wink: ? I suppose it will be sometime after they are weaned.

I’ve been told that even when cats are fairly mature, it is wise to keep an eye on their online activities. There is a lot of kitty porn out there.

I know- I get my kitty porn in the mail from these guys, and these guys. I shudder to think what my cats might get up to if they got hold of my credit card and found those sites…

Kittens on computers? Say no more! (I love the “Cats and Dogs” video on that page, too. You can just see the dog thinking, “You had to get a kitten, didn’t you? {Heavy sigh.}”)
