At the time these photos were taken, the kittens were estimated to be about 10 days old. All but one of the orange tabbies had their eyes open. As of 3/30, the smaller orange tabby had opened his eyes. The Cats of Downton Tabby will be available for adoption mid-May.
4/5---All kittens are walking, albeit wobbly. They are mobile enough to go off by themselves, but then can't figure out how to get back to mamma. Their ears are now more upright and look like ears should. Temple is quickly outgrowing his runt status.
4/17---All kittens are now walking, though somewhat wobbly. Cora, the mama, can no longer keep their hunger satisfied, so today they will start supplementing their milk diet with canned kitten food. They have started playing with each other, instead of just pushing each other around to get a choice spot at their mama's "dinner table."
5/4---All kittens have been spoken for! The Brothers Orange went together to their new family yesterday. Sybil departs for her new family on Monday. Mary and Edith will go to their new home next weekend. Mama Cora is currently enduring her separation from the kittens while her milk dries up. She has a spay appointment for May 16th and will be fully recovered and ready for her new family May 20th.
5/11---All kittens are with their new families! Cora has her spay appointment this week and will be ready for her new family by May 20th.
