I did the weekly weigh-in with the kittens last night. Phinneas continues to be the heaviest, at 1 pound 12 ounces, and Beulah gained a whopping 1.5 ounces this week and weighs in at 11 ounces.
Everyone else is right around 1 and a half pounds.
At the current rate, I imagine that everyone but Beulah will hit two pounds (and thus be ready for spaying and neutering) in three weeks or so. And that Beulah won’t hit two pounds until she’s six months old!
My sister-in-law and niece stopped by yesterday to see the pigs and chickens, and of course I had to take them up to admire the kittens. All the kittens were like “Yay! People to give us love!”, although Phinneas was startled by my sister-in-law, and actually hissed at her when she picked him up.
(Which, I think, kind of charmed her!)
Gorgeous Miss Bessie.
One kitten curled around my neck (Ezra, I think), one curled up on my stomach (Caleb) and Beulah perched atop my knee.
Having climbed my leg to my knee, Beulah pauses to tell me about it.
Waiting for the space ship to take off – Ezra’s skeptical that that thing can actually fly.
Phinneas – the largest kitten, let me remind you – adores jumping on Beulah. She seems to handle it pretty well, and holds her own.
“Dude. Your BREATH.”
Having reached the top of Knee Mountain, Caleb’s not quite sure what to do.
Brudders in the sun.
I love this kitten. LOVE HER.
