3 WEEKS AND THEN SOME!!!!

******
Oh my time sure does fly by when your not paying attention, I can't believe these two are now 3 weeks and 2 days old. Trust me the 2 days count when your this small, lots of growing up can happen in that span of time. The boys are starting to play it is so funny to watch because they are still very shaky and often fall over before they get a chance to pounce. They are also starting to try and clean themselves but they tire very quickly and only get in a few licks, Its tough when you can't quite hang on to your paw long enough to get to the dirty spots.
Stumpy is on the move again, though he is the smaller of the two he out braves his big brother Spanky by a mile he loves to explore. Meanwhile Spanky likes nothing better to do than hang out and complain to mom about how Stumpy has left him alone again!!!

Spanky is the more verbal of the two and seems to always have something to fuss about, here he is having a quite moment.....Finally.


Stumpy is very content to just sit and contimplate life, this little one is a thinker. I smell trouble on the horizon!!!!


What it wasn't me Spanky did it I saw him with my own eyes........




Spanky seems to be having some bladder control issues, okay it's really me having an issue with his bladder control. He has none, little brother Stumpy can hold things in place between feedings but this little guy, Nope just goes when ever and where ever he pleases. Every time I take him out to feed him he is soaked sometimes from head to toe. Not sure how he manages that one but the little gaffer is one wet kitty, and he is not impressed with my sad attempt at making him presentable again, I haven't got the licking thing down yet.........
I want to change his name but hubby says you can't do that you already named him you can't go about changing something important as a name. I'm not officially going to change his name I'm just adding on to the one he has. So from this day forward he will be known as
Stumpy McPuddles.


AAAAAAAH what a face!!! Not sure if I'll be able to part with this little one when it's all said and done.
Oh I hear squawking must be feeding time, I'm coming Spanky McPuddles, now ssshhhhh before you wake your brother.
Take care until next time
Hugs Deborah

Brenda sent me to your blog...your little ones are adorable. Not sure if you knew but they are old enough that you can start introducing them to a wee litterbox. Sometimes they will pick it up right away and others it might take a week but by 4-1/2 weeks they should pretty much have it down with few accidents...unless they get to playing a forget. They are babies afterall. :O) What a great Mommy you are!!!

Hugs,
Shantell

oh good lord... cute kittens... this happened to me about ooooh- a month and half ago. except odie certainly wasn't as small as yours. id say about 2 months, i looove cats- we have a 5 yr old black cat in the house and were afraid how she would take the new kitten--- but obviously she always wanted to be a mom and we didn't let her- cause she loves him! oh and beautiful boxers-- i grew up with boxers and now have one at home- i think they are the best dogs ever!

Love your site! I have had a real nice time looking around.
What a great person to be raising these young kittens! It is a full time job and I applaud you!!
They are just so cute.
Take care

Your kittens are adorable!! You are such a good person for saving them - and for getting up to feed them every 3 hours!!

Your story and pictures are so wonderful :) You're doing a great thing raising those adorable kittens. We raised two kittens a few years ago--they were found motherless when they were only three days old. One of our dogs became a surrogate mother, spending every hour of the day curled around them in a box. It was a difficult but rewarding experience and they grew into two wonderful, loving pets. Best of luck with the kittens :) we need more people like you in this world!
