A big day for the babies

Today has been a big day for the babies,they have made such a huge progress.
First Kamala and Fuzzy managed to figure out hot to use the toilet. The ritual itself is something that needs to be worked on, as still the wooden pellets and sand are consumed first, than used in proper way.
Maybe they are checking if it tastes right.
Sophia Rose, my little food critic, stayed real to her beliefs. She covers my food as it was litter, so she even pooed on the absorbent pad that is under the plates...This baby really has a way to show her opinion.

But even she joined others for evening meal. I am forever grateful to Barbara from Auxarcs cattery for sharing her grined veal heart- yoghurt recipe. The little bug seems to prefer American couisine to Mediterranean. Honestly I do not mind as long as they eat.
Today is the first day that babies got two solid meals. And on saturday, my mum was bottle feeding while I was stewarding at the cat show. Time flies, and babies are no longer taking the baby steps, they put on flying boots.

Adults are eating their grined chicken as evening meal, just as always...and they are usually not to keen on it. Tonight when babies approached, meal suddendly started to look more appealing. As a result for the first time in centuries, 15 minutes after serving, all plates are clean. Just as it should be.:)

I will post photos tomorrow, Murphy's law says that when babies are cutest and nicest photos are taken, batteries need to be recharged.

I am glad babies are growing, but they are not really babies any more. They are miniature cats now. If I think that only in 10 weeks they will be moving to new homes my heart sinks. Past 5 weeks just marched by.
But I know they will have lovely families, and I will be watching them grow and hear their stories from their new parents, and in a way it will be like having them near.

Please do not ask for kitten from us, if you are not ready to stay in contact.
Our babies are just too precious for us....we can part from them when we know they are going to lovely homes, to be cherished and spoilt and bring joy and smiles...

They are part of our lives even before they were born, we are there to help them come to this world, I cut the cords for every kitten and suctioned liquid out of their noses with my mouth to make them breathe. We stayed up with them for the first ten days without more than couple of hours sleep broken in intervals of half hours, we massaged their bellies when they had cramps and bottle fed them, checked their weights every day, tought them to eat, use the toilet, play,handled them and kissed them so much that they come running to the kissing sounds, socialised them...we need to stay part of their lives, and even a little email every now and then will soothe the emptiness they will leave when they move out.
