One Week Old Already!
Fizz’s four babies are very robust and getting quite tubby! It makes all the difference having just the four to look after and plenty of milk. They’re a good couple of days ahead, weight-wise, compared to the heaviest of Lexi’s litter at this stage. We’ve decided to go for an Olympic theme when we name this litter but haven’t got as far as thinking of any actual names. Well, except one that my son named when he looked to see what sex it was - Linford…. I don’t think I need to explain why :-) I’ve a dreadful feeling that name’s going to stick!! Funnily enough he’s the noisiest. I tend to leave him until last when I weigh and check them each day as he kicks up such a stink!!
Fizz kept pulling up the corner of her bed covering and I couldn’t understand why. Then, after the first couple of days I realised she was making a ridge so the kittens didn’t wander away. Since I’ve placed a towel or another blanket around her making a safe cocoon, she’s perfectly happy and hasn’t disturbed the bedding since. They’re very active kittens and she was getting upset when one would insist on walking round behind her and squawking when it realised there weren’t any teats on her back!
