Pumpernickel in my lap.

Pita, scheming.

Ciabatta says “Lady, there’s a kitten in that mirror!”

Crouton, rolling around on the rug.

Pumpernickel with the seriously cute tilted head.

Babka finds that she’s a BIG fan of the sunshine.

First, Crouton bites mama’s left ear.

And then her right ear.

She takes a moment to pose for a nice picture…

And it’s back to biting!

The kittens are definitely having a BLAST in the foster room, and Crumpet is enjoying it, too. I thought she’d be concerned about having kittens scattered all over the place, but she seems to have hit the ::shrug:: phase of mothering. She’s become even friendlier since the move – with the kittens being 6 weeks old now, she’s probably about to go into heat. (Fortunately, the first heat cycle after kittens tends to be pretty short, so hopefully it won’t be too bad.) She’s scheduled for her spay in about three weeks, so I suspect we’ll have at least one heat cycle between now and then.

The magnificent Khal and yes, indeed, I did say “Oooh, big stretch!”, as is legally required.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.

The Crumbs are 6 weeks old as of yesterday, and this is what they look like now!⁠
⁠
Weight-wise, they’re doing great (weight chart is here). Ciabatta has been the heaviest kitten for most of the 6 weeks, but now Pumpernickel is in the lead, followed by Ciabatta, and Pita isn’t far behind. (Crouton’s the peanut of the bunch.) They’ve hit all their milestones – using the litter boxes, eating solid food, skitterbugging and hippity-hopping. Climbing like monkeys. They’re doing great!⁠

Former foster update! In 2020 we fostered this little floofmuffin as one of the Mewsketeers litter. Her name was Winter then; she’s now Luna, and look at that gorgeous floof!

(Thanks, Nicole!)

The Crumbs are having a skitterbug and hippity hops and running running running kind of day!

Good night innernets. (Pumpernickel & Ciabatta – and behind them, Crumpet and Pita)
