Grey Stripes- The '09 Boys Band!
The second batch of my '09 kittens ended up not spending a whole lot of t
ime with me, because by the time I got them they were already in the process of transitioning to solid foodies. One of our local Animal Control officers had received a call about a handful of "feral" kittens that needed to get picked up, and thinking that they were still quite young, contacted me via the hospital to take them on and bottle feed them. As it turned out the kittens were small, but are approximately 4-4.5 weeks old, so after only a day or so of bottle nursing, which two of the three were not terribly fond of, we tried some wet kitten food to see what they thought of that idea, and it was an instant success. I had 3 very happy little mews chomping down on nummie wet foodies.
