A lot has happened between weeks three and four:

Box was breached! On Easter Sunday, Alfie learned how to jump out of the box. That meant it was time to open up the front flap and allow access to the rest of the room:

Ears are up!

Getting a bit crowded in the box, anyway! They are wrestling and tumbling with each other and learning to climb.

Time to explore! They are sniffing and tasting things. I started them on wet food lessons and two are pretty good at it. They are also learning to use the litter box--we have three successful pees that I saw. Mama cat will be happy not to have that chore anymore!

Mama Greta has been more social: she will now walk around the room when I'm there, instead of hiding under the bed or staying in the kitten box. This morning she even came up to me for a head scratch! Amazing. She's a good mom and calls the kittens to her to nurse. When there is "kitten drama" and one is mewing for some reason, she answers with that unique mama cat language, "purrrrrup?" to tell them that she is there.
