It has been an exciting week as Thea's kittens continue to thrive! They are more energetic and are becoming more aware of their surroundings. They still sleep a lot, but they are starting to get their legs underneath them.

While their eyes are open, they are not yet able to see things in full detail. They do track a little movement, but everything is blurry. In the coming week, their eyesight will improve a lot and they should be able to start recognizing their litter mates and Mama Thea.

They have been doing very well with getting their legs under them! They started the week out with some wobbly legs, but by the end of the week, they have gotten very strong and don't wobble as much. Ceres is especially curious and moves around like he's on a mission.

We will be moving the kittens into a larger enclosure so they can get more exercise as well as get introduced to their first litter box and start the weaning process. Their first little box will be very shallow so that they can get in and out easily. We use pine pellets to start them off, because kittens at such a young age could potentially eat the clumping litter and cause an obstruction.

The pine pellet option has its trade offs with regular clumping litter. The pine pellets do a fantastic job of absorbing the urine smell, but doesn't do much for their feces since it can't be fully buried. The litter does a great job of absorbing the odor of both urine and feces, but it also has the habit of giving off its own odor. On top of those differences, the pine pellets are less expensive. We spend about $7.50 on a 40 pound bag of pellets while a 35 pound jug of litter from Costco costs around $12.00. We still use both though so that the kittens have experience with both and their future owners can decide what they want them to use.

Coming in the next week , we will be introducing them to their mush to begin the weaning process. It will be a simple mixture of wet food, water, and formula. The kittens will still nurse from Gaia as they age.

These Maine Coon kittens will be available for application on February 28. Check the link in our bio to head to our website to get notified about when applications open up.
