They have grown!


After nearly two months, the three kittens have become three little pigs :)

Because they eat solid food now, the kittens' tummies are rounder and they've become heavier. Unfortunately, the litter box also became busier.

They now have the brown markings unique to Siamese cats. I already named them. The boy is Miki and I fondly call him "Mickey Mouse". The two girls are Maki a.k.a "Maki soup" and Molly which is taken from her real name "Mulan".

Molly, Miki and Maki are now getting pretty rambunctious. Molly, especially.

I could hardly cope now with 11 cats. What to do? What to do? It's against my nature to dump cats and I'll be sad to have the three new arrivals separated. I had a cage made. But, so far, no takers...unless I use coercion. If only they could all get along, then it wouldn't be so hard.

But when Chong caresses my feet, when Peter snuggles next to me, when Julius touches my face, and when the others let me hug them and hug me back, or when we play and when they simply do cute things, it's so easy to see why I keep these little tigers around.
