Working hard at being kittens

The kittens are two weeks old today! They’re moving much more. They’ve all doubled in weight since they were born, and some have almost tripled. They’re stronger, cuter – and driven to go places and try new things.

The one on the left is the biggest and strongest, and the most likely to venture away from the group. We know he’s a boy. The one on the right seems to like lying on her (we think female) back. She waves her arms around like a human baby.

Keeping warm in a kitten pile

The instinct to keep together to stay warm is really strong. A lone kitten can’t generate enough heat to keep the body temperature high enough. The kitten pile is important to their survival. It’s a very squirmy kitten pile at times!

Sometimes you squirm yourself all the way upside-down. But you can always just go back to sleep like that. 🙂
