Progress is being made

Some will take the bottle and we aren't sure if it's the particular bottle (we have a mix of what the rescue lady loaned us) or the baby because when they are hungry, it's hard to keep up with who does what.

One problem is that one of the kittens hasn't had a bowel movement yet. Rescue lady said to all her if he hadn't gone by day five. She also gave us some dewormer that I just gave them this last feeding. Human mama would give human baby a nice warm bath, but not sure kitten baby would appreciate that. But someone did have a bowl movement in the box last night, so that's something.

Man o man can they climb! To be so little, they are strong. They are getting over the trauma of being taken by the 'big monsters' and getting comfortable with us and starting to explore and cuddle just a bit.

The rescue lady said we were doing great - ap apparently crosses over the species line

Baby kitten question: does purring always mean contentment? They will purr and then yell at us

That might mean 'I'm happily going to tell you off just to keep you on your toes'
