A 4-pack of giant babies who will hopefully decide to open their eyes one of these days...

Four sleeping kittens, three lined up next to each other, and the fourth perpendicular to the rest which allows the white kitten to make a comfy pillow on the short-tail tortie's back.

A story in four acts #fosterkittens #cats #catsofmastodon

A big orange cat with squinty eyes and a long fluffy tail sits atop his kingdom of a kitten tree as a small calico kitten made her way up to the second condo, peeking out the condo opening

The big orange cat watches as the baby calico climbs through the second condo opening at the top

A baby calico kitten sits atop the second condo behind the long fluffy tail of the orange cat on the top perch

Resigned to accepting the baby, the big orange cat on the top perch rolls on his side, a baby calico kitten sitting atop the next level condo, peeking around the orange cat’s long fluffy tail

Much play. Now nap time #fosterkittens #learningtocat #cats #catsofmastodon

Two small calico kittens resting in a box. Like a light went off they’re learning to cat- from boxes to balls to kitten tree. Ok, kitties, now let’s figure out the food bowl!

Boxes.. we’re discovering boxes! #fosterkittens #cats #catsofmastodon

It’s hard to recognize just how small the #fosterkittens are when pictured alone. They’ve grown a lot from bottle baby days, still teeny cute babies Jazmin, an average sized 10 lb cat, and her mini-me #cats #catsofmastodon

A tiny calico kitten, 5 weeks old and 1 lb, sits next to an adult calico cat, almost 2 years old and about 10 lbs

A small white calico kitten with blue eyes and a pink nose stretches a paw across a multicolored blanket. In 5 weeks she went from 97 gms to 555 gms!

"A clean conscience is the best pillow" — these kittens, probably.

These four have adjusted well to life away from mom. (They were found in a car that had been towed.)

Four 1-week-old kittens sleeping. They are mostly lined up next to each other, but one of the torties is half on top of the white kitten. Nobody seems bothered.

Whew! Got the new kitten cam working with OBS. (I think the problem was a newline on the end of the rtsp string, maybe?)
(The old kitten cam got sprayed with bleach one time too many.)

The new babies are visible!

New babies! Toulouse (orange), Marie (white), Duchess (tortie with a tail), and Beriloz (tortie with a little nubbin).

They are about 1 week old and even though they can't really see or hear, they are very fierce and hiss at everything!

Four 1-week-old kittens. There are two torties, one orange boy, and a white/cream girl. The photo is top down, so you can't see their closed eyes.

Rough day today. Over the weekend, little Chamomile started having increased respiratory rate and effort and just looked like crap. Given all his problems, we let him go this afternoon.

This is the sad part of fostering, but I feel better knowing we gave him a chance. He just had the deck stacked against him from the start.
