Kitten Update

The kittens got to meet Rusty this week and boy was that fun. Rusty couldn't understand what these little meowing creatures were until they came up to him and hissed and scared him. It's pretty interesting to see a tiny hissing and arched backed kitten push a 80 pound Pit Bull out of the room! The 5 older kittens have started to get used to Rusty now and don't hiss anymore, but the two little ones (Vegas and Sydney) are still a bit ornery with him. They just started venturing out of the kennel and are starting to climb the scratching post ramp and play with toys a bit. Madison is staying out of the kennel more and more so I expect the kittens to start eating soft food pretty soon. They sure have the chompers for solid food! Yes, I've been used as a chew toy a time or two this week. Kona is always the first kitten to run out of the kennel and greet me and climb up on my lap when I enter the room. He's usually followed by Niagara and Diego, then Portland. Victoria is still pretty shy, but once she's out of the kennel she is more social. Portland is my little climber, he was able to scale the blanket that is on the kennel and get to the top. His approach for getting down was to do a belly flop onto the scratching post and roll down the rest of the way. Luckily he didn't get hurt because it's about a 2 foot high kennel. I think Madison needs to teach him the art of landing on his feet soon! Martini and Boona have both come to the room but only Boona has been brave enough to enter. The first time he didn't have a clue that there was a mom and 7 kittens in the kennel. The next time he was greeted by a hissing protective mother cat but that didn't phase him a bit. Martini hasn't stepped foot in the room yet, and that's probably a good thing because he's kind of nasty to newcomers. Enjoy the pics and keep coming back. These guys are growing like weeds and I'll try to post each week.
