Quick update

Mike hasn’t done a lot of kitteh whispering today as he spent the day golfing and subsequently, has been nursing a good case of sunstroke tonight. He resembles more of a red lobster than the pink humans that the kittehs have come to recognize.

However, the kittehs are all doing well. We took weights last night but did it via photographing them on the scale so I need to go back through the photos and record the weights. They appear to mostly be between 9 and 11 ounces now. Brit is back to being the little one of the litter at just over 9 ounces but she is gaining just as all the others are too.

Ash is the last one to open her eyes and they are almost fully open now... just a little squint left to open up. Apparently, longer haired kittehs take longer, up to twice as long as short haired kittehs, to open their eyes so it isn’t surprising that Ash is taking so long. We can already tell that she is going to be a big fluff ball.

Last night, we had an interesting development... we were awoken around 4am by a crying kitteh at the foot of our bed, Ash and subsequent other kittehs crying in the bathroom so she knew where she needed to head. And then mamma chirping to tell them all it was all alright.

We aren’t really sure if she got herself out of the tub, across the bathroom and to the foot of our bed or if mamma decided to bring her to us for some reason. We suspect for some reason mamma was bringing her to us as Ash isn’t moving well enough to get that far without help we don’t think but we aren’t sure why she would be bringing her out to us. Maybe she was thinking of bringing them out to us so that she could sleep on the bed with us and not have to keep running back to them... don’t know... we do know that mamma loves to cuddle and get scritches so maybe that is what she was trying to do but the kittehs weren’t so sure about the idea.

Mike returned Ash to the tub with the others and mamma joined them all. Everything was then fine again.

We have been alternating which nights mamma has access to our bedroom from the master bath and which nights she is confined to it so that our other cats can come for some nighttime cuddling that Cosmo adores. However, we think that tonight we are going to give her access for a second night in a row to see if she tries to do it again.

But it does bring up a question that has been brewing in my head lately.. what is it with cats and 4am?!?! it seems that if we are going to have any exciting nighttime adventures from the cats, it always seems to happen between 4am and 5am....

More kitteh photos to come shortly but I have been trying to catch up on some other subject matter photos which I have had sitting on the back burner for a week or two.
