Micro N00bs Day 3

Still going strong today. Unfortunately, two of the little ones had diahorrea last night. This can easily be a killer in small kittens as they quickly become dehydrated and lose precious nutrients. If they get to the stage where they are feeling yuck, they just won't feed. I suspected the cause of the problem to be the milk formula they are having. If the dilution isn't right their little digestive systems can't really cope with it. I've made it more diluted now and it does seem to be clearning up. They didn't lose weight which is a good sign.
Weights:
Cream Tabby: 21/12 - 215g, 22/12 - 224g
Tabby: 21/12 - 207g, 22/12 - 208g
Black: 21/12 - 215g, 22/12 - 234g

As you can see they haven't been named yet. I am going to hold off until they are 3 weeks before I do that. It's a bit of a self-preservation thing but I don't think it's working! They are quite adorable and certainly have their own little personalities already. The cream tabby loves to have her little tummy rubbed and tends to sleep upside down - unusual for a cat!

Meanwhile, Cali is settling in as a "bigger cat" very well. She has found a buddy in Addy (one of our 4 cats and previous foster kitten - his story is earlier on this blog) and the two of them have had a great time playing, exploring, getting to know each other, and snoozing on the guest bed. This is the bed where my two nieces will stay when they are down in June to see the snow. I think they will be quite happy knowing there is a cute kitten keeping it warm for them. Earlier today Cali had a bit of a nap on my desk:
