Ginger Kittens

Well they've arrived. Apparently the mother turned up in someone's outbuilding, and then produced four kittens. The people have been looking after them ever since. Only 3 have come here as they have decided to keep the mother and one kitten.

They look to be between 8 and 10 weeks old. One is a little more timid than the rest, but they are all very playful. They've just had a totally mad hour, playing with all the toys and leaping around the pen. They are all using the litter tray, and eating and drinking.

We wormed them yesterday, which often makes them loose for a day or two. Oh lovely.

It looks like we have two girls and one boy. One is all ginger, and the others are ginger with white paws and tummy. They are very sweet.

I'll keep them in the pen for a day or so. This will make sure they use the litter tray. Also, as one is quite shy, if I let them out now, she would just disappear behind the sofa and it would be very difficult to get her friendly and used to being stroked. In the pen, I can get in with them, so they get used to being close to a person.
