Number Three, Alis (aka: Socks) FINALLY latched tonight. She lost 9 grams overnight, gained five grams after a syringe feeding, and is now drinking that good mama’s milk!!

I will hold her here ALL night. Bobbie is producing a bunch of milk so I have faith Alis will start gaining some weight.

Ugh. I HATE to add this next part but SO many of you have asked me to share my Amazon wish list. I really don’t like doing it very often but with SIX brand new kittens, there is some stuff I could use, so I’ll post it a few times just in case ya’ll wanna help out! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2K634G59XZTP4?

This is absolutely not a cash-grab, please don’t think I take any kind of generosity for granted. But I got a lot of people asking how they can help. I promise everything goes straight to the kittens and mama and the kitten room!

It is amazing how quickly the colors come out on the fur.

Love this for all those who haven't seen baby mammals born and working to live! Breast feeding your own kids is a thing, of course, but seeing how dogs and cats do it is another experience we should all enjoy. :)

Super happy everyone is ok. Rooting for Socks =] Try not to stress too much about the list, it's clearly all kitty stuff, nobody sane would find fault.

I would guess about 2 months? My cat had a dental done at the beginning of February and his shaved legs are about 3/4 of the way grown in now

Socks Alis is what I've been calling when in my head. Sounds like the name of a painter or ooo like a poet / philosopher from central and south America in the 60's!!! When revolutions were happenint all over the place and the greatest minds of those nations were in contemplation and debate over foreign cultural influences .

Namely capitalism and communism, which were bombarding and subverting regimes and guerilla factions, but socialist ideals were an alluring and untroddened path
