Finally, all the kittens have transitioned off of the bottle and are now eating solid foods. They seem to prefer ProPlan Kitten food by Purina. We have four cans left and not enough in the Kitty to get anymore right now. I am crushing down the kitten chow so they don’t choke on it and giving them the dry food as well as a dish of KMR on the side. For some reason when I mix the KMR and the dry food together, they won’t touch it. Minnie seems to have the most attachment to the bottle. When I go in there, she will promptly climb up my leg, snuggle down in my arms and suckle my arm as if to say “Hey Mom, where is my bottle?”

They are doing well. Aurora is like the energizer bunny though- as I said before. She just never stops. All three of them are love-bunnies each with their own unique purrsonality.

I have to keep putting them out in the main enclosure so when the contractors come in- I have done a major clean of the bedroom (removing litter boxes, condos, kitten toys, water and food bowls. It’s getting to be where I have it down to a system now as long as I get 24 hrs notice someone is coming by, I can be prepared. It’s the ones who just drop by that irk me.

The kittens seem to a bit scared of the big enclosure. I’m sure the barking, yapping dog next door doesn’t help, nor does the occasional visits from curious outside kitties wanting to see the newcomers. I don’t keep them out there very long- and Aurora has become quite adept in finding lots of hidey holes to dig in to. She scared me the other day, it took me four hours to find her! She had gotten back between the pile of litter bags and fell asleep in her new dark cave. I had to move over 20 bags of litter to find her. Silly girl, giving mom a heart attack!
