It’s a big world out there, little Rummy.
Uno has a skeptical.
Slapjack’s all “It’s a big step and I have these short ‘n stubby legs.”
Line ’em up!
There goes Whist.
Little sniffers.
Whist checks out the structural integrity of the crate.
Fizzbin gives the bare floor a try.
Canasta comes over to reassure the kittens.
Whist finds the little cat tree innnnnnteresting.
Fizzbin in my lap.
Picking up Uno for a kiss.
The kittens’ teeth are popping through! Pinochle appreciated me opening his mouth so I could get a look.
And back in the crate they go.
Thus far, they’ve only left the crate via the side opening – which I zip closed when I leave the room – and haven’t made any effort to leave the crate by the front opening. They don’t seem to mind staying in the crate most of the time, and Canasta spends the majority of her time in the crate with them. Given that they’re getting pretty steady on their feet and interested in exploring, I’m going to set up a few small litter boxes for them near the crate and will encourage them to spend more time out and about. I don’t think it’ll be long before they’ll realize they can leave the crate by the front opening, and will do so.

Jake sure does love that self-heating bed and the sun coming through the window.

I just love those pictures. They are all so cute. Even though I’m so busy working I always take time to check out Forgotten Felines daily. God Bless you all for doing everything you do.
Aaaaannnndddddd……..They’re off and running! Sort of 😉
O-M-G!! They’ve escaped the crate! You know what comes next…Party Time!
And of course they’ve been schooled on proper social distancing and mask wearing while in public.
Look at the little waddles!
Hello. I have sort of a random question. What is the medicine you use for kittens with goopy eyes? I recently got a one eyed kitten and his good eye is so runny and goopy all the time. He is on allergy medicine but I’m not sure that that is his problem. So I thought I would try some eye medicine.
I use Terramycin – you can find it online in lots of places and it’s a good general eye ointment.
What brave explorers! Was there lots of slipping and sliding on the bare floors??
There was actually no slipping and sliding (which surprised me!) I suspect once they start skitterbugging we’ll see them sliding around, but they move pretty slow right now.
Who told them they could grow up so fast?? Seriously, they were just born!!
