Fosters at five weeks [View all]

Five weeks old tomorrow! New things this week: they've got litter box training down pat and use it like they've been doing so for years. They have a red cube to play in now, and I brought in the kitten tower (top level only 20" off the ground) for them to practice their climbing skills on. Eating wet food, drinking water and still nursing with Mama Greta.

Little baby teeth need to chew! Soda straws work perfectly.
