More kitten update

Can you tell by now I like my cat and her kittens??? They're so cute! I can totally hold one in my hand! By now they can yawn and stretch their little paws! Their paws are only the width of my pinky, but already they can stretch their toes out! They tend to clamber all over each other and stay in a little clump of fur when mom's not around. When they realize she's not there, they go to sleep. They can even fight eachother a little bit!

Mamma Baby lets me hold them, too, because she has incredible trust in me. They scream for a second when I pick them up, then they sniff around trying to find someone familiar like their siblings or their mamma and keep sniffing back and forth until I put them down. They don't wander around very much. Their bed is about a foot by two feet, and they've stayed in that general location all their lives so far, except when I pick them up.

I can't wait until they grow into the little curious critters with big eyes and tails straight up! It'll be so fun to have 4 little kittens chasing a string together! Maybe even mamma will play a bit, too! She's not playful now, though. Four kittens to take care of is a lot of work!

We still haven't gotten batteries for the camera. I do have pictures of the kittens, though, but they're on my phone and I can't figure out how to get them to the computer.
