Overdue Update

Snowball, Socks, and Leo are making wonderful progress. Too bad their foster mommy hasn't been doing the same on keeping this site up to date!

All three kittens are are noticeably bigger, both physically and in personality. Socks continues to be the most shy of the three, but she's also the most playful. Snowball remains the most sociable with people, followed closely by Leo who needs to work on his "play-nipping" habit, but is otherwise well on his way to becoming the typical male tabby lovebug. They all like to play with the Starchaser, as well as the wand toys, and of course, the infamous Samsung phone strap that seems to be a big hit with every kitten I've fostered. Oddly, up until now, they've seemed to prefer playing with toys to playing with each other. It's only been in the last couple of days that I've heard them chasing and wrestling around with each other. Normally, there would be a steady stream of little "thuds" coming from the kitten room as they butt up against the door in the middle of their wrestling matches.

The two tabbies continue to look a little thin for their age, but they've had a bit of a growth spurt since the weekend, and I'm thinking their weight will be significantly higher tomorrow than it was when I weighed them last Thursday. Last week, Socks and Leo weighed about the same as Phoenix, Vegas, and Sedona did at five weeks old. Snowball's weight was a little more normal for her age, but even she was a little on the light side. However, I'd be surprised if they don't all three break two pounds when I weigh them tomorrow.
