Everything is going well with Chessie and her kittens! The kittens are starting to wobble and are becoming more aware of their surroundings. They'll stay in the room with us for another week until they start the weaning process. At that time, we'll move them into a larger enclosure in our room at the foot of the bed so we can continue to keep an eye on them. That is, if they start escaping the bin they are in right now. We will play it by ear.

Every one of Chessie's kittens has more than doubled their weight from birth and are thriving. The tabby boy with white reminds us so much of his Papa Kovu and the red boy is absolutely stunning! The girls are all doing well and we are thinking about keeping the girl that has the most white on her face. Now it's just a decision of if we want to name her Chessie Jr. or Meredith.

We've started to socialize them more and more with our touch and picking them up as well as resting them on our chest. A slow socialization is very important to the well-being of not only the babies, but mama as well. If the babies start to cry too much, mama will become concerned. If that does happen, we'll set the kittens back with their litter mates.

The next step is continued surveillance and socialization, and soon, they will also begin the weaning process. We will give them some wet food mixed with water and formula. The kittens will still nurse with mama whenever they please. Some kittens will nurse with mama even if they're months old. It's more for comfort and familiarity.
