Lulu, I will pray for them. I hope they make it.

nope. i just want these.

one's all white, with tan on his ears and tail.

one's all white, with tan and gray on her ears and tail.

one has a white belly, with tan and gray alternating across her head and black. what my vet calls a "dishwater calico".

They sound beautiful!
*sends prayers*

lol...you have to, or they won't use the bathroom. mama licks them...which stimulates them to urinate and defecate.

thanks for the prayers. i keep telling myself that they are just tiny kittens, and that if they DO make it, it'll be a miracle. but i kind of have a soft spot for animals.

I live in a very hot climate during the summer months. I found a way to try to keep them cool (had kittens in this kind of situation) by putting one of those freezer packs (the big ones that go in the big coolers) in the box and wrap it very well with a couple of towels.

Keeps the box reasonably cool, but obviously you have to make sure they don't come in contact with it directly or not wrap it enough. Then they can get too cool.

I had a cat give birth outside. I looked and looked and could hear the kittens crying for a very long time. I looked under the mobil home I lived in and found them crawling around blindly searching for the momma cat.

She had torn through the cardboard then crawled into the insulation, but they got separated in the maze of it all. Momma would only feed the ones she found. So the rest we always crying. I found all of them and brought her and the kittens inside until they were old enough to go back outside.

you know what, that might be the best idea i've heard yet.

i have a clay ice pack...stays cool for quite a while. methinks i should try that.

thank you.

You are more than welcome and hope it works out for the best.

so...they are officially a week old, and doing QUITE well.

all three are larger...two have almost doubled in size, while the other is on her way.

woohoo!
