BBs - Six Week Update
Time sure flies when there are kittens in the house! The Belgariad Babies are six weeks old today. Amazing! They have become braver and more adventurous every day. Tonight I had the baby gate down while I was taking pictures in the next room. Garion kept following me off to the other room. When I was done with whichever kitten I was photographing, I’d pick both up and carry them back to my room. Almost before I could find another kitten and go back across the hall Garion would be over there. He looks like a little fuzz ball or a teddy bear. He’s no longer the biggest in the litter (Belgarath had a really good week) but he still looks the biggest. And he’s a sweetie, purring the second I touch him.
Six week weights:
Taiba - 18.5 oz
Lelldorin - 21.5 oz
Belgarath - 23.7 oz
Garion - 23.0 oz
Kheldar - 22.9 oz
Ce’Nedra - 16.5 oz
Polgara - 18.8 oz
Ce’Nedra didn’t gain much weight this week. It happens, but I don’t like it. So she’ll get extra attention and a couple extra weigh-ins during the week to make sure nothing bad is going on. In kittens often the only warning you have that something isn’t right is they lose weight or aren’t quite themselves. That’s the reason for my weekly weigh-ins.
Speaking of weight, Talia is getting very thin. She always does when she’s nursing kittens, but she’s had an extra load this time because she spends so much time with all nine kittens. Kali is thin, but nothing like Talia. So Talia will be getting some extra attention in the form of more wet food and kitten glop to put some weight back on her.
One last thing… I speculated about whether Cyra was still in the fluffy bed after I came downstairs this morning. When I got home from work, there she was — all by herself in the fluffy bed. She looked so little and cute, I just had to take her picture. See below. (remember if you click on the picture it brings up a larger version.)
