I have to make a really fast run to get more food for the ferals and litter for the house CATS (that's so weird - at this time, yesterday, I had one senior cat. Now I've added 4 babies. But, I digress. No doubt I'll be semi-fretting until I get home and reassure myself all is well.

We're going to start weighing them, today. It will be interesting to see how fast they gain weight and grow, this week. I'll probably be taking the two gray ones to our local humane society in a week or two. They are really good location. Lots of people go there for kittens.

I wish I was more of a multi cat person, but honestly, two is my limit.
