“More Kittens: Here We Go Again”

Xweet Xionda is the very proud mama of three more kittens, as of Monday afternoon. This is her second litter.

Unfortunately, because of some weird blood-typing issue which hasn't been explained to me very well yet, we need to hand-feed them for the first eighteen hours. That means sticking a long, thin tube down their throats and into their stomachs, and injecting 3 cc's of goat's milk.

After eighteen hours the mysterious problem clears itself up and the mother can feed the babies.

One of us has to get up at 3:00, and another at 6:00, to feed them. (Try having triplets, Greg! ;-)

Xionda is wearing one of Corinne's nylons as a body sock, so that the babies can't nurse on her at all. She looks hilarious (sorry, no pictures right now), but the kittens don't seem to appreciate it.

Also, it looks like Xodus is going to pop any day now, too. They went into heat within a few days of each other.
