Can you believe that these little muffins are SEVEN weeks old today? Here are their progression pics:
Here they are when they’re not dangling from my (or Fred’s) hand.
Aurora.
Hubble.
Phoenix.
Stardust.
Telstar.
Would you like to see some kitten bellies? Here you go!
Aurora.
Hubble. (That Mission Patch is the cutest thing ever, isn’t it?)
Phoenix.
Stardust. (She didn’t want her belly photographed!)
Telstar. (He looks like he’s fighting me, but was actually enjoying having his ears rubbed.)
And how about those eyes?
Aurora – still a lot of blue there.
Hubble – still a lot of blue there, too, with a heavy smattering of green.
Phoenix – all green!
Stardust – mostly green, with a bit of blue around the outside.
Telstar – a nice amount of blue, with a green center.
Last, but certainly not least – how about a milk bar comparison?
1 day old.
7 weeks old.
Yep, they’re still bellying up to the milk bar frequently, though Mercury doesn’t let them nurse for long.

Video! Speaking of nursing kittens, how about a video with newborn kittens flailing around at the milk bar, the same kittens at 2 weeks old, and then at 7 weeks old? One thing I’m noticing – they flail a lot less than they used to!
