Kitten update

Well, we figure the kittens are now 6 weeks old. Cute little buggers, they are learning how to be cats. Kushie (the smaller black cat) is being a helpful aunt and cleaning them and playing with them and getting them used to other cats.

Their temp names are:
Bogart
Crash (short for crash test dummy)
Jerome
Sweetie

Jerome and Sweetie have no tail, and that has caused a problem for Jerome. Since his tail was not developed, he's missing nerve endings that control his bladder sphincter. So he is always dribbling pee. Because of this, I doubt he'll get adopted out by us, and I doubt he'll survive at a shelter. So we are considering having him become an outside cat. We'll probably have at least one other of the kittens to be an outside cat along with him. Poor guy,
