This week has been a fantastic week for both 'The Fragrance Litter' and 'The Flowers Litter' as all kittens have started to eat directly out of the bowl and no longer need to be syringe fed! Also Guinness is feeling much better and is very keen to help out with maternal duties which must come as a relief to Pearl. All ten kittens are starting to put on weight at a much faster rate which is a great relief to me. Both myself and my son are still continuing with three hourly feeds as we feel that all the kittens have a bit of catching up to do and after all it gives us an extra excuse to spend more time with the kittens. Little Estee has decided that it is time to explore and poor Pearl and Guinness have their work cut out for them as Estee is a very determined little girl and will not take no for an answer (as you will see in the photo below when I told her to wait for her dinner). I feel very soon all ten kittens will be running amuck and there is nothing I, my son or Guinness and Pearl can do about it! C'est la vie.fter a very difficult week for Pearl, Guinness, myself and my son we have managed to keep all the Fragrances and the Flowers at good weights with all four of us taking turns feeding the kittens (myself and my son of course opted for syringe feeding rather than teat feeding). This is a so pleasing as poor Guinness has been so poorly with mastitis and Pearl was really struggling to feed ten kittens all on her own. Guinness is starting to feel much better but in the last few days she has completely lost all her milk. For this reason I have started to wean all ten kittens very early and I am pleased to say that all ten kittens are taking the baby rice/milk formula mix very well, so much so that I will be introducing them to minced chicken breast before the end of the week! The photo shoot for all ten kittens was not an easy one this week as all the kittens decided they would much prefer to sleep, suckle or generally just not cooperate! I can only imagine the fun we are going to have taking photos over the next ten weeks!
