Recovery = energy

The kittens are recovering nicely. They have adjusted to the room and the meds are working as they have a lot of spunk and energy (when they aren't sleeping). They're also eating better--the first night they didn't eat much wet food when I put it out but now they are demolishing the plate and also eating quite a bit of dry food. Their weights have started going up rapidly; barring any unexpected issues, they will be back at the society this weekend ready for spay/neuter and adoption.

They got a lot of outside air this weekend. We didn't take them out, and in fact had the window in the kitten room closed most the time to help keep it warm. However, for most of the weekend we had no front door. We made sure the kitten area was well secure--one getting loose in the house is bad enough, we had visions of them loose in the yard! Fortunately, no escapees and we have a new door installed.

	Lily: The only female. She mews sadly until you sit where she can climb on you. She just finished drinking when we picked her up for the picture. She's the smallest by a little bit.
	Jackson: The easy to tell apart kitten. He's the only kitten who isn't thrilled by people. He isn't afraid of us, but he doesn't seem interested in interacting either. We're working on convincing him people are good things and he should come say hi when they come in the room. He does like to chase his own tail and caught a spider the other day.
	Chester is the lightest (by a little bit) coloring of the kittens. He's also the most rambunctious and hasn't seen a tail he didn't want to chase. He's getting a lot of lessons from his littermates in bite inhibition when they howl after he grabs their tail. He just loves to play.
	Jamal is a cuddler. His eyes are looking better after a few days on medication and he joins the rest of the litter in racing about crazily. He likes people, and his purr is impressively loud.
