Freshly wrapped and napped Dumplings for today's Dumpling Report!
๐ฝ Shelley-kitten: 1006g (+1) but she *would not* sit still..
๐ธ Ada-kitten: 1015g (+12)
I keep them in the bathroom, but back in the living room dog crate in the afternoons.
All they want to do is nap, and the other cats can get used to them.
Poppy is completely enamoured, and will sit and watch them all day. The others? not so much.
- Don't like that!
- Hiss!
- Ignore!
- Refuse to go anywhere near..
Late dumping report:
Shelley: 1004 (+14)
Ada: 1003 (+6)
This is the ONLY non-blurry photo out of MANY.
Now Ada's eyes might be turning orange? (They looked blue-green yesterday)
Also YOUR WHISKERS, GIRL.
WHAT HAPPENED??!
They're neatly snipped off, just stubble. TWO hairs remain..
I think her sister may have nibbled them off?
Is this a thing kittens do? Shave their siblings bald?? ๐
Late 2-day Dumpling Report (v tired):
Shelly-kitten: 990g (+35, +15 yesterday)
Ada-kitten: 997g ! (+49, -2 yesterday)
I was worried over her losing a bit of weight yesterday, bc I'm trying to get her off milk. Again.
The hefty gain today means I can cut to one bottle, then none, and see how she does.
Their EYES are changing colour! Shelley's are turning orange. Ada's green.
I've moved them to the bathroom, the only place I can shut other cats out and not full of hidey-holes.
๐ธ๐ฝ Dumpling report:
Shelley-kitten is 895g (+23)
Ada-kitten is 863g (+43)
What a difference the milk makes!
She also sprouted glossy black long hairs on her coat.. I think she's going to be a solid black cat.
Dumpling report, paw-sented by Shelly-kitten (872g +22)
Ada-kitten is 820g (-22) so lost weight for the *second* day ๐ฉ
(But this is my fault, we ran out of formula. She obviously still needs both).
Still boisterous and bouncy, the pair of em
Late Dumpling Report:
Shelley-kitten: 851g (yesterday's was prob wrong)
Ada-kitten: 842g (+12g)
Both are very perky and affectionate.
Shelley JUMPS and CLIMBS. She loves scrambling around my shoulders, hanging down like a bat to sniff my face or plop back down to my lap again.
Ada loves to snuggle on my arm, and groom my fingers.
Today's Dumpling report:
Shelley-kitten: 879g (+53)
Ada-kitten: 830g (+63)
Not sure if they *really*could have gained that much weight in a day, or scale error again.
(I've tried weighing kittens in various bowls, which they rock / jump around in, so none really work ๐น )
Yesterday they were too sleepy to do that. So I trust those measurements.
They have both grown frizzy paler grey hair on their upper arms, belly and chin. Shelley has little black belly spots.
Dumpling Reports a feisty Ada today!!
She weighs a whopping 767g this morning ๐
- Her meals were supervised, and without sister bothering her (she eats slowly).
- Plus 3 half bottles of milk, which she drained completely.
- Shelley weighed in at 826 (+17g)
Both *were still for once* so the scale settled.
I doubt Ada gained 71g in one day, but today's weight is prob the accurate one.
Dumpling report!
Shelley-kitten is 782g (+29)
Ada-kitten is 747g (+45)
BIG growth spurt (she lost weight yesterday) and little grey fur puff shoulder pads appeared.
She is eating a lot, and doesn't want bottles anymore. Thank dog. I SLEPT for the first time in ages ๐ญ
They're both changing colour (again) so looks like they might stay Black Smoke w grey and black fur.
Dumpling report!
Shelley-kitten is 752g (+43g) BIG growth spurt ๐๐
Ada-kitten is 702g (-8)
I reduced the alternating milk bottles, to get her to eat more. Not working.. ๐
She's got a slightly pink tummy, which I'm reading could be an allergy. Maybe that's why she doesn't like the food?
I've got a different wet food we're trying later..
