Just an update - both kittens have eyes fully open now! Sum has been given his/her official name as Bennie by his/her adoptive mommy, Eric. Dim will keep his/her temporary name for now. Dim is starting to move about a lot more now, and is VERY much a cat - takes baths, meows and already displaying signs of an attitude problem. Bennie is taking his/her sweet ass time in gaining weight/size. I wish I had an accurate enough scale so that I could keep track of Bennie’s weight to make sure there is SOME growth. Nothing seems out of place except the smallness, so maybe Bennie is just a little kitty - and that’s ok. I’m just a worry-wart.

In other news, my new power adapter is here, so the Kittycam is back online!

Mr. B is still afraid of the kittens too.. >^.^<

Not too much has happened since the last update. The kittens kinda stay in the same place - little lumps of fluff attached to Lizzy.

They’re both getting both growing, Dim more rapidly than Sum.. over the last few days their little kitty ears have started to open up, and Dim’s eyes are just barely starting to open now! I’m sure Sum’s eyes will open in the next day or two as well - then all hell is going to break loose as they start their reign of cuddly terror.

The kittens are about 7 days old now, and they’re growing so fast! Dim seems to grow by the hour which Sum seems to be the pokey little kitten as far as getting bigger goes. They’re both still amazing little beings. Dim is going to be a beautiful cat - I am really starting to see some calico come out. Sum will likely look a lot like Lizzy - tiger striped & tabby. I really hope they both have Lizzy’s emerald green eyes too.

I spent a lot of time just admiring the babies today - it is really quite a site to watch them go from nursing monsters to sleepy lumps of baby cat. I swear to you they dream already - Dim even makes noise while sleeping - and I can see their little feet move like they’re running. This could be total projection on my part, but if the patterns fit…

Its funny watching them. Last night I came to the conclusion that the easiest ways for these creatures to move is not by attempting to walk, but simply by wiggling and rolling themselves around on the floor.

Just a few moments ago, I grabbed Mr. Bigglesworth and took him to see the babies. Lizzy didn’t do anything (she sure kept her eyes on Mr. B though) and after ten or fifteen seconds I let go of Mr. B and after a moment he turned around and FLEW out of my room. I’m not sure if he is in denial over it all or what. It will be a fun household when their eyes open and they can move around better. I can’t wait!

Weeeee!!.
