I did not plan to turn into Gavin Maxwell in my old age, but there you go. Life is funny. And sad, and bittersweet.
#FeralKittens
A quick update on the feral kittens.
As you can see they are no longer feral. They are fully vaccinated, dewormed [twice due to two very virulent different parasites], fixed, fat, and sassy!

Freshly wrapped and napped Dumplings for today's Dumpling Report!
😽 Shelley-kitten: 1006g (+1) but she *would not* sit still..
😸 Ada-kitten: 1015g (+12)
I keep them in the bathroom, but put back in the living room dog crate in the afternoons.
#feralkittens
A small black kitten viewed from above, curled up on her side in a shoebox. She has large green-yellowish eyes, now wide open at the Thought of Food.
Late Dumpling report:
Shelley: 1004g (+14)
Ada: 1003g (+6)
Now Ada's eyes might be turning orange? (They looked green yesterday)
Also YOUR WHISKERS, GIRL.
WHAT HAPPENED??!
They're neatly snipped off to stubble. TWO hairs remain..
I think her sister may have nibbled them off? 🥺😬
#feralkittens
Their EYES are changing colour! Shelley's are turning orange. Ada's might be green.
I've moved them to the bathroom, the only place I can shut other cats out from and not full of hidey-holes.
#FeralKittens
Missed yesterday's Dumpling Report. It's my birthday today, so have some double-dumpling trouble! 😸😽
Shelley was 946g (+23), and is 950 today (+4)
Ada was 930g (+50) which I thought was a scale error, but she's gained another 10g today! Whoah!
#feralkittens
😸😽 Dumpling report:
Shelley-kitten is 895g (+23)
Ada-kitten is 863g (+43)
What a difference the milk makes!
She also sprouted glossy black long guard hairs on her coat.. I think she's going to be a solid black cat.
#FeralKittens
Dumpling report, paw-sented by Shelly-kitten (872g +22)
Ada-kitten is 820g (-22) so lost weight for the *second* day 😩
(But this is my fault, we ran out of formula. She obviously still needs both).
Still boisterous and bouncy, the pair of em
#feralkittens #kitten
Late Dumpling Report:
Shelley: 851g (yesterday's was wrong)
Ada: 842g (+12g)
Both are very perky and affectionate.
Shelley JUMPS and CLIMBS onto shoulders, hanging down like a bat to sniff my face or plop back down to my lap.
Ada loves to snuggle on my arm, ang groom my fingers.
#feralkittens
Today's Dumpling report:
Shelley-kitten: 879g (+53)
Ada-kitten: 830g (+63)
Not sure if they *really*could have gained that much weight in a day, or scale error again.
#feralkittens
Dumpling Report: a feisty Ada today!!
- She weighs a whopping 767g this morning 🏆
- Her meals were supervised, and without big sister bothering her (she eats slowly).
- Plus 3 half bottles of milk, which she drained completely.
- Shelley weighed in at 826 (+17g)
#FeralKittens #kittens #cats
Dumpling report!
Shelley-kitten is 782g (+29)
Ada-kitten is 747g (+45)
BIG growth spurt (she lost weight yesterday) and little grey fur puff shoulder pads appeared.
#feralkittens
Dumpling report!
Shelley-kitten is 752g (+43g) BIG growth spurt 🏆📈
Ada-kitten is 702g (-8)
I reduced the alternating milk bottles, to get her to eat more. Not working.. 🙄
She's got a slightly pink tummy, which I'm reading could be an allergy. Maybe why she doesn't like the food?
#feralkittens
Today's Dumpling Report feat. Poppy-cat, live at the scene.
Shelley-kitten is 709g (+1g)
Ada-kitten is 710g (+28)
The problem was a sachet of food I opened last night - they did NOT like it at all 😾
#feralkittens #kittensofbsky #blackcats
Dumpling Report:
The kittens are BOTH eating, tho Ada picks at the food and eats less, so I'm still giving her bottles.
(Shelley wants nothing to do w milk. She launched herself at her first meal, stuffed her little face, and never looked back)
Shelley: 708g (+25)
Ada: 682g (+20)
#feralkittens
Today I *forgot* the Dumpling report 😳
(Feeling a bit off, may have a cold coming on)
😽 Shelley: 683g (+37)
She morphed into a giant overnight so that makes sense..
😺 Ada: same as yesterday, 662g.
Not worried as both kittens did this right before a growth spurt.
#FeralKittens
Moar BLOB - This is Shelley, now the smaller one!
I think they've graduated from dumplings to.. whatever stage this is. Fizzgig? Soot sprite with teeth?
#FeralKittens #caturday #BlackKitten #CatsOfBsky #Kittensofbsky
Late dumpling report again..
Despite the rain I got some non-blurry video of the Blobs (after many attempts)
-They are FEISTY 👹🐾
- Somehow Ada is now BIGGER than her sister.
😽Shelley is 646 (+21)
😼 Ada/Byron is 662 (+22)
#feralkittens #caturday #kittens #blackcatsofbsky
SUCCESS! Mum (unprompted) "What if we keep one?"
(She's warmed to them in the last few days, I've caught her cooing over / petting them)
Dad: "I want to keep both of them!"
Mum: ONE.. 😒
#FeralKittens
Today's Dumpling report (late again)
Byron/Ada is 630g (+18)
- They missed a feed BC I overslept twice and fed them 4hrs apart.
Shelley - I don't know!
She was both too big/too wriggly to STAY in the cereal bowl I plonk on top of the tiny scales.
#FeralKittens
Late Dumpling report - Had to do errands between feeds and race home. Yay! Now I want to collapse and sleep for 1000yrs..
😽Shelley: 625g (+24)
😼 Byron: 618g (+34)
He's almost caught up, and my tired ass just noticed TODAY is a GIRL 😅
(Id-ing tiny grubby blobs in the dark is hard!)
#feralkittens
~🎶📰🎙️The Dumpling Report 😽🎙️🎶~
Shelley broke the 600 mark at 601g! ( +21g)
Byron's tail doubled in size since Monday, and the legs shot out some more.
He is a whopping 594g (+48!)
Rapidly catching up to his sister. In size too, I can't tell them apart as easily..
#FeralKittens
Today's dumpling report and good news!
Byron is 536g, and oh the legs look *longer*. No more dumpling, you look like a cat.
Certainly using them - he scoots everywhere madly, chases and wrestles his sister.
So, weight loss to power growth spurt??
Shelley is 580g (+15g)
#FeralKittens
Dumpling report. Both are actively exploring, climbing even. Byron on the left.
He doesn't seem slower or lethargic, so am back to old feed pattern and hope he gains weight tomorrow.
If not, looks like we're heading to the vet 😩
#feralkittens #kittens
The Dumpling report:
Shelley: 522g today (+30g)
Byron: 502g today (+20g)
He's not eating as much as I'd like. Or with enthusiasm like his sister.
Weight gain good, though.
#feralkittens #kittens #blackcatsofbsky
Itty bitty soot sprite update: Throwing Hands 🐾
(Byron, the smaller one)
He now weighs 470g (+38), while his sister broke 500.
(522g,+30 from yesterday)
#feralkittens #caturday #kittensofbsky
5 less #feralkittens
today! Thanks to local feral cat community! One more to go and mama! 6 all together in this litter, made 14 total here. 9 to go! 👍😁 Please
Have your furry friends spayed or neutered! Help control the over population from the pandemic. It takes everyone of us.
Proof of Potato.
She is 390g this morning! (oops, forgot to weigh *before* feeding).
But from 304 yesterday + milk that's still some hefty weight gain.
She can also groom herself, and used the litter tray. Clever girl
