Kitten Trio

I've got more pics of the kittens. I made a gallery of the ones that turned out the best. Click this link to go see them!

Pooky decided it was best to bring them in the house and care for them since efforts to incite the momma cat didn't work out. He looked at a kitten rescue website that said if they have fleas to give them a bath and try to remove as many as possible because it is detrimental to their health. So this afternoon we bathed them using a mild soap and the gentle setting on the hair dryer to get them all fluffy. We got some fleas off of them, but more keep turning up. The poor babes were really infested and unless we can catch the mom and flea-dip her, it wouldn't be wise to recontaminate the babies.

Pooky went to the vet for some kitten milk replacement and we've gotten them to drink almost a full bottle among the three of them. I've gotten them to pee for me three times, but I'm concerned about the white one not peeing. No pooping has yet occurred and I shall try in earnest to get their bowels to move prior to going to bed.

Mr. Doo is not very happy with the situation. He looks at them and hisses and growls and howls at us, but I think he is putting on a show of concern for his placement in our hearts. Mr. B has looked at the kittens and runs away in fear.

Tonight I'll put their box next to the bed so I can hear them. I've got my heated blanket in the box and have it turned on for them so they can be warmed. They sleep all huddled in one morphed body with three heads. They are so sweet. You just know it's going to be difficult to part with them when they are old enough. Pooky has already attached himself to the Luck Dragon and I'm a bit smitten with the mustached one. All of them are so adorable!
