The two kittens, one boy and one girl (Sawyer and Thatcher) are settling in nicely. There is no feralness in them, so they have been handled from a young age. Every time I go into the room and look at them, I just wish they were still with their mom snuggled into her warm belly and taking of the milk bar whenever the pangs of hunger begin.

I am feeding them canned kitten food and kmr every three hours just to put some weight on them. I was concerned with Sawyer as he seemed to have problems pooping- hopping from litter pan to litter pan and crying and crouching. Then I remembered a trick an old vet shared with me long ago, so I took his temperature and a few minutes later…Houston we had poop!

They are sleeping on top of the dog cage with snugglekittie nearby. God Bless Snugglekittie, she has comforted so many kittens in her long career here. Thankfully, she is machine washable and holds together quite well. I have long lost her beating heart (I think the dog ate it!) and the heat packs that she comes with are gone as well. But she is here, sure and steady as a nursemaid and the latest arrivals are cudddled into her stuffed animal warmth.
