Day 1

Today we met Lisa. Lisa discovered she had abandoned kittens in the attic, and needed help to get them out. Knowing that Lee loves cats, I volunteered him to the rescue! Well, I do always tease him about his long "monkey arms", and add to that the fact that he is skinny, and well he is perfect for the job!

Lee was laying on a rafter, and had to cut out piece of a board to get to the kitties. Lisa then got a broom handle, and we attached a large fish tank net to the end of it with tape. Lee was then able to reach the kittens, and after about 20 minutes or so, we had 2 precious kittens safe and sound. We all assumed they were newborn since they were just discovered, but now we think they are very close to 2 weeks old. We have no idea if the kitties are boys or girls, but Lisa's little girls named them Rosey and Casey! Great names if you ask me!!

Rosey is a black kitten, with 4 white paws and various patches of white. Rosey is very mobile, and seems to want to explore! Oh, she loves playing on my shoulder, where she can play in my hair!

Casey is mostly white, with a touch of grey on her tail and ears. Casey is very vocal, and when she gets Rosey going too, well they can be heard from quite a ways off!!

They are both reluctant to eat. We stopped and got kitten formula, and the vet gave us syringes. After a feeding with syringes, I opted to go buy kitty bottles!! They still don't seem too interested, so we will see how it goes tonight. If they are still not much into eating tomorrow, we will pack it to the vet!

Oh, excitement!! Casey just pooped!! Yes, that IS a big deal, as kittens need stinmulation to do that, and I was worried I was not doing it right!!

KITTEN WEIGHTS:
Rosey - 160 grams or 5.65 ounces
Casey - 146 grams or 5.15 ounces
