A momentous occasion in any bitty kitty's life is the move from the baby crate to the Box o' Mews (tm). 
The graduation of any bitty from infancy to toddler hood is cause for great celebration and festivities, and bitty kitties are no exception. At the age of three weeks, my two current bottle babies have become mobile enough to have earned themselves a graduation day. Fortunately for them, my older bottle babies have just been sent off in tearful farewell to their foster homes where they'll get to socialize and play with other bitty kitties until they find their very own forever homes, and the Box o' Mews has once again become available.
So once the Box has been made up sufficiently for it's new inhabitants, it's time for the bitties to check out their new romping grounds. The little black girl took one glance at the snugglie and went diving for some badly needed naptime (eating breakfast is hard work!), while her brother took a few more minutes to look around and investigate, before he went diving under the snugglie as well. Happy kitties!

Fortunately for them, my older bottle babies have just been sent off in tearful farewell to their foster homes where they'll get to socialize and play with other bitty kitties until they find their very own forever homes, and the Box o' Mews has once again become available. The Box o' Mews is a medium sized fabric portable and collapsible dog kennel that has zipper openings on the front and top for easy access, as well as mesh windows on either side for air flow. I picked it up on sale at Petsmart and it has made an excellent home for my little bitty toddlers as they start needing more space to move around, but are not yet ready to have free reign of the house.
As 
bitties start getting their feet under them, they become the masters of making messes, and the Box o' Mews can often become the location of a litter calamity if proper precautions (and towels) are not in place to prevent such a hazard. No kitten condo is ever fully complete without sufficient snugglies to curl up and sleep in.. which is why I have box upon box filled with micro fleece (or just other really soft) blankies perfect for snugglies. Fortunately, my landlord has been highly understanding of my increase in the amount of traffic this causes in the washing machine and dryer as a result of kitten bedding supplies.

Along with the graduation of bitties to the Box o' Mews comes the understanding from the bitties that they will start exploring the instinctive need to locate a litter box and begin the great transition to eating solid foods. So while they don't yet fully comprehend the purpose of the litter pan, one is made available so that they their little instincts can start kicking in, and making less work for their momma!
