Fosters at seven weeks

[ginnyinWI]

My "T" fosters, Tess, Trisha and Tyler playing in the sun yesterday. They are all there--a bit hard to see in the glare: (the hawk feather is a gift from my pet sitter to my cats--we are suburban and she finds them while walking her dogs.)


They are still underweight due to their URI's. We are working on fattening them up! They seem to be feeling a little better and playing more. I used to sometimes have kittens in my laundry room on the north side of the house, but this is an upstairs room on the south side and gets the sun. I was using it only for older kittens or large litters or those who needed quarantine but I'm going to use it for all of them from here on out. It's so much nicer for them. There are plans this year to take out that carpet and put in a vinyl floor in this room when we redo the upstairs carpeting and that will be much more practical. So I don't care much what they do to this carpeting!

3. That is short for

an upper respiratory infection. A kitty cold. It can inflame the eyes and cause congestion, sneezies, and tiredness.
And if their noses can't smell very well, then they don't eat as much. So these guys are stalled at gaining weight. In the nine days I've had them, they are either the same or have gained only an ounce or so.

They get all the wet food and dry food that they can eat.
