Week 1

It is very hard to tell if kittens are male or female when they are so tiny. We knew that the 3 calicos were almost definitely females. You can read about that interesting fact here. Because the SPCA told us there were 4 females and 3 males we only really had to guess one of the females. And later on we found out we guessed correctly.

On day 2 we weighed them. The littlest one - who we guessed was a boy, weighed in at 70g. The biggest one - who got the nickname Fatso - weighed in at 115g.

We had to ditch the cat bed because the poor little guys would fall out of it, and they couldn't get anywhere on the plastic floor. We put a towel down on the bottom with blankets underneath for cushioning and put rolled up towels and blankets around the edges so they wouldn't fall out of the cage.
