It’s so long since we’ve been in kitten mode that I’d forgotten the sort of antics they can get up to!
First of all, here are some photos.
Asleep on my lap, one on top of the other. Criss-cross kitties.
Starting to wake up.
Starting to wrestle.
A veritable tangle of limbs!
“I love my sister…”
I put down a sheet of plastic to protect the carpet from any food spillages where we feed them, and today Lily decided this was put down for the sole purpose of her playing with it.
Inevitably the water was spilt on the floor. They now have their bowls on a tray, which isn’t nearly so much fun, but it makes life easier for me!
The next one just creased us up. I had to make a fun video of it!
On a more serious note, Ruby is being quite naughty with her food. When we took them to the vet on Wednesday for their inoculations, they got weighed, and Lily is heavier than Ruby, who had actually lost .01 of a gramme. Nothing to worry about, apparently. However, when I feed them, Ruby makes a huge fuss and absolutely bellows and carries on as if she’s starving, and when I put the bowls down, she’s not interested and walks away. I keep putting her back but she walks away again. The result is that Lily eats most of it. This evening I tried feeding Ruby separately because I thought that might help, but it didn’t. Finally, I gave her some dry food, and she absolutely wolfed it down! She obviously prefers this to the wet food. I’m not really very keen on her having it all the time, though, because it can lead to kidney problems later in life, but she’s got to eat! We’ve got another variety of wet food that I can try, and we’ll see if she eats that. I just hope she’s not going to turn into a really fussy kitty.
I have had several lovely cuddles with Ruby today. She loves to snuggle up as close as possible, and before dropping off to sleep, she looks up into my eyes so lovingly, and purrs her little head off. This morning I had them both for a while – which is when I took the photos at the top of this blog post.
I have to tear myself away in order to get anything sensible done! I’ve more or less decamped into this room so I can spend as much time as possible with them while they are little, and they are so much fun.
LOL, sounds like Ruby wants Gormet food - Oreo doesn't eat anything else now - he's utterly spoilt! He does like his dry food as well - I didn't realise they can have kidney problems. Maybe because they need to drink more. Oreo only drinks from his bowl if we hold it up for him and only if it has fresh water. We're planning to get him a water fountain for his birthday given his penchant for drinking from the tap. I've noticed he's a bit constipated sometimes if he doesn't drink enough. They're so adorable cuddling each other!
