Day Twenty-two Cootchie-coo!

Starshine and Miss Kitty are thriving and gaining weight. They love their food, and are very communicative.

They love to lift their little paws in the air for us to pick them up...too cute and precious! What IS it about darling adorable babies that make you talk like this???

Mama Kitty and the babies are hanging in there. Mama Kitty eats well, and as a wild kitty, this is probably the best she has ever eaten in her life! She is being awfully good about being caged up and is very protective of her babies. She allowed me to take out the litter box and replace it, without trying to dart out...that was a milestone!

The babies still have their eyes closed, but it is hard to see while they are snuggled up to mama so close! It's nice and comforting to know that they are all safe from predators, and can grow in safety.
