  Seven weeks have now passed! soon these little guys will be leaving the nest for homes of their own.






Litter box training is going along well and weaning is almost complete- every now and then  there's still a need to be comforted by mom of course.

At this point play really dominates their waking hours - these guys are going either full speed or sleeping- there's no speed in between.

Sometimes play can seem rough - but it's also a learning process, and a good reason why kittens with litter mates in the early weeks of their development end up with better social skills.  Learning not to bite or scratch too hard can be important when you know your opponent possesses the same set of sharp weapons that you do.

Cookie is carefully supervising the calisthenic workouts making sure her kids are in top physical shape.

come on keebler pull!

Looks like grahams working hard at irritating mom.

Mom . . . I'm pooped - it's a lot of work this growing up thing.












Okay guys time for our group shots:

 Graham, really - always a joker

Look over here Graham

Psssst -  before we go I have a secret

to tell- next week we will be going to our new homes -with our forever families.

My sisters get to go to their home together - which is good cause I think they really need each other.

And I get to go to a home with some other cool friends that I can't wait to meet.  (Hope they know what they're in for)

So - I'm going to spend a little more time cuddling with my sisters before we all leave.








Here's one interesting fact before we leave:  A cat's brain is biologically more similar to a human brain than it is to a dogs.  Both humans and cats have identical regions in their brain that are responsible for emotions.

Wow - they really needed a study to figure that out. - silly humans think they are so smart..
