All clean and dry

Bob is being a fab Mum, all 5 kittens are thriving, in fact their suck reflex is so good it presented us with a bit of a problem last night - when Bob got out of the nest to have a bite to eat, all the kittens just held on only plopping to the floor of the pen 30 seconds later, whilst this was very amusing to watch it could easily be a disaster as the kittens would chill and die very quickly if left there. We popped the kittens back and introduced a bed with slightly higher sides in the hope that it would scrape the kittens off the nipples as she left the box. This worked pretty well and only one super determined kitten managed to exit the nest with Mum, it duly plopped on the floor but as there was only one Bob was able to cope and promptly picked it up and popped it back with his siblings :-)

Here are some pics taken today, as you can see one is already opening it's eyes at less than 24hrs old!!
