Thursday Update

Fred continues to master the litter box, using it do all his business this morning! Others are using it as well, as I really needed to clean it out this afternoon. There are still accidents, but the kitties are making good progress. Fred and George ate some wet food yesterday, but no one else was interested. I left some for them today after their morning feeding, and someone ate some of it when I went back to check on them later.

They are starting to play with their toys a little bit,and they are absolutely more active. They are often awake, if not up and around, when I go in to feed them. Scruffy and George have started trying to climb my pant legs when I step into their pen.

Grace noticed that some of the kittens are able to retract their claws now. They don't it when I'm feeding them, however! My fingers, hands and wrists are full of tiny little scratches.

I weighed them just now, and here are the current figures:

Harry - 10 oz., Neville - 14 oz., Fred - 14 oz., Scruffy - 16 oz. (one pound!), and George - 14 oz. These are all rough, but it shows growth for all of them since I last weighed them nine days ago. Harry has gained about 3 oz., Neville and Fred have each gained about 5 oz., and George and Scruffy have gained about 4 oz.
