growth

Kittens are growing up. I had the whole basketful of them out on the couch a couple of weeks ago, when they were 5 weeks old. Agate and Alabaster inspected, and were NOT impressed.


They have all been to the clinic now for their first shots and a gulp of dewormer. The tech said, when I said they had been inside their whole lives, "Kittens are born with worms." Since her worm medicine, little miss teeny-cat, who was stuck at 15 ounces, has made it up to 19.



Mom doesn't offer to let them nurse very often any more, but every now and then they pile on. Here it looks like little tabby-spot is trying out nutrition by osmosis.
