Rosie and the Sunshine Kittens

Another beautiful day out there! And the Sunshine kittens are doing spectacular this morning!

First, I want to say thanks to all of you readers for cheering on Rosie. Welcome to all the newcomers as well! It's great to have visitors :) Rosie is doing great now, and although she still doesn't seem to be the most affectionate mama in the world, it definitely looks as though she's got a better handle on things than she once did.

As for the kittens, I'm starting to be able to tell them apart now. I've been calling them "Sunshine" kittens because ever since I was told about getting Rosie, the sun has been shining down every single day. The weather here is just gorgeous! (which is so unusual for Northern Ontario in March)

I know my little guy the best, and for now we're referencing him(or maybe her, the sex is still a bit hard to tell) as "Oscar". S/he was the little squirt that I took care of, before we thought there were any more to come. I sort of bonded with him. He was born on the day of, and even got to watch with us, the Oscars on Sunday night, where I held him close to me while he snuggled and nursed into the palm of my hand. Oscar is an unofficial name, until we can determine the sex, of course. Doug has suggested "Sandra" (Bullock) or I suggested "Meryl" (Streep) if we find out it's a girl after all.

For the other two, Litterhead and Runt, for obvious reasons. Litterhead was born in the litterbox, and still today has two little spots of litter stuck on his/her head (I wish mama Rosie would lick it off, but, as I said, she's a little lax on the mother side of things it seems... that, or that's how she tells them apart, too :P). And well, Runt, because s/he's the smallest. These are definitely not permanent names, just how I'm distinguishing for now until I fully determine the sexes (so don't worry...lol!). ;)

I've been taking a lot of movies over pictures because it's difficult to get too close to Rosie with the camera. But, I have cuuuute ones! I have one from yesterday, and one from today. Here's the pictures I got from this morning...

Poor little Runt, always last to find a nipple.
