Happy to be home!
That’s what Ce’Nedra says. When we got home this evening I took her in her carrier up to my bedroom. As soon as I unzipped the door, she came out, looked around the room, and started purring. She rubbed against a couple of the other kittens, batted a few of the toys, then ran to her Kali-mom and started nursing — purring all the while. I weighed her a little bit ago and she gained .6 oz today(since 6 this morning) and is acting happy, healthy, and herself. So apparently whatever upset her tummy and made her feel not so good yesterday and this morning was short lived. Thank goodness! I will still watch her carefully and weigh her again tomorrow morning and evening to make sure the problem is truly gone. Right now the little girl is wrestling in the blue fluffy bed with her brother Kheldar.
All the techs at the vet’s office were in love with her and thought I should just leave her with them. She apparently was playful and charming all day long. They said they had never seen a kitten as cute as Ms Ce’Nedra. Wait til they see the whole litter in about two weeks. 
The Leprechauns checked out “perfect” today and got their second set of kitten shots. Their 14 week weights at the vet’s office:
Catriona - 3.1 lbs
Keegan - 3.1 lbs
Keiran - 3.7 lbs
I will weigh them on my scale here at home (in ounces) before I go to bed. It’s hard for me to believe they are already 14 weeks old! Kittens grow up so fast. No new pictures tonight with the vet appointment, a trip to Costco (great deal on cat litter!) and supper. Tomorrow night for sure.
For a variety of reasons — in part because of Brenda’s and my indecision for so long — both Cati and Keegan are currently without new homes to go to. If you’ve sent me an inquiry and haven’t heard from me, send me a note. Your inquiry may have ended up in my spam folder and been deleted.
Thanks to all of you who were thinking of and praying for Ce’Nedra today. From the looks of my blog stats, many of you came back often to check for updates. Over 100 visits today! Wow! And here I thought I might get 10 or 20 visits a day when I started this — and that from my friends and family. Hope you are all enjoying keeping up with the LostWoods crew. I promise to try to add more meaningful content one of these days when there’s less kitten excitement. I still owe Sally some color examples and a brief genetics lesson. I need to add more about animal welfare vs animal rights. I need to add a page about bringing a new kitten or cat home. I haven’t forgotten. Really!
So off to play with the ktitens for a little more before bed time. Talk to you tomorrow!

I’m very happy to hear little Neddy is feeling better.

I’m not worried about the colors, it’s certainly more important to make sure all the kittens are doing well. So glad to hear Ce’Nedra is doing better!

I am glad to hear Ce’Nedra is alright^-^….The babies’ health far outweighs web work!Just keep us updated on how she is improving and tackling her brothers and sisters.We are living vicariously through this blog.I do however have a question. Now,I am not in a hurry so please don’t worry too much if it takes you time to address it. I have told you I now have 2 kittens.My older kitten Srini loves to play with the teaser and laser light.But the little one has taken over the game,everytime I try to involve Srini in it,Kichchu jumps in.So all Srini does is watch Kichchu play.Is there a way I can involve both of them?Short of locking one of them out ,to play with the other,I am unable to come with a solution.
Thank you:)
