Day 25

The kitties are now 8 weeks old and crazy with energy. Constantly running and playing. Nothing so rough that our 9 year old can't cope. We remind everyone to be sure the kittens are not under foot when getting up from a chair or the couch. So far, we've had no accidents, but they are getting bolder and more curious!! Two of them tried to climb into the dishwasher as I was loading it! Gandolf, the boy cat, found a way inside the arm of our couch, the inside of the framing!! He could get out, but it was quite a surprise to hear meowing from inside the couch!!

We are counting the days until they are returned to be adopted out. Everyone will be sad to see them go, it's our first time so it will be extra hard. We know they will be easy to adopt out, they are so fun to be around and love human company.

I would say I've run out of various supplies about 2 or 3 times over the course of this month. I've just emailed the foster coordinator and she has things ready for pick up in their office. That has made it easy to just run by and get it, but since the place is locked up, someone needs to be at the facility to let you in.

For anyone taking on this loving effort of fostering kittens, you really just need to be able to handle the smells of cat food and poop - both are very stinky. The rest is easy!!
