Getting Active

The foster kittens are learning that they can lick and use their claws and wrestle! Sometimes, I even catch one chewing on another one's ear! The kitten above is saying, "Get off me!"

I have to say that it has been a little difficult to photograph them. To get really good shots, I'd have to lay on my stomach on the floor. Also, just when I'm getting ready to snap the picture, they turn their heads.

Everyone's eyes are open, and you can tell that the world is more in focus for them now. Just a few days ago, the kittens were still staggering around on little shaky legs. But today, I noticed that everyone gets around really well.

Today is the first day that I have permanently opened the flap on their box to let them roam freely. Earlier, the flap kept them safely inside their box so that they didn't stray too far away (and cry pitifully for their mom) or accidentally fall in the water bowl. But today, I decided that they need to start exploring their surroundings and exercise their leg muscles more. I've snuck into the garage a few times to see what they were up to and found that they prefer to be in the box if Miss Dora, their mom, is in there too.
