I welcome you to my passion--the working hard to save the life of a tiny innocent kitten who cannot help what life has handed it. This blog will allow me to share my daily tales, joys, heartbreaks, memories and many moments of love. You can share my life one day at a time.

"J" baby update
I have changed their birthday to Mar 1 as they were bigger, moved around more and their eyes are beginning to have some definition. It is as usual very interesting and lots of watching. I look around my living room and see a pile of blankets, a roll of toilet paper (to make them pee and poop) and a scale. Yes, babies are back in my house. Jamieson is being a perfect kitten. He his weight has been -2g, +12g, and + 10g. You always want a weight gain of about 10g. He has been pooping with little effort on my part. Julia is doing fine though I wish her weight would increase a bit more rapidly:+4g, -2g, +8g. She is pooping well and eating well. It is Jelly Bean I am keeping an eye on. She was a little quieter than usual yesterday and only wanted to suck a few sucks. Later in the day she started having milk come out of her nose when she was drinking. This is a concern because you don't want milk in their lungs. I would hold her at an angle and gently tap her back. Her weight is holding:-2g, +2g and -2 g. I try not to worry but worry is a big part of my job. I went to check on her when I came home from work before I could do anything else so I would know exactly what was going on. She seemed a little brighter and looking better. I keep reminding myself that I had a kitten last summer that had milk come out his nose for a couple of days then was better and never did it again. But..........I still worry. I got up at 2:30 to feed them and was happy to see all were the same as when I went to bed. So every day counts.
