Eyes Opening (Day 6)

The kittens' eyes have started to open! The little buff tabby's eyes have opened in the corners, and the rest of his eyes should soon follow. The other's haven't yet followed suit, but I'm sure it won't be long. According to literature, their eyes should be completely open around days 9-14.

Seven now tries to spend the minimum amount of time necessary. She returns to the nest to feed and clean the kittens, but will nap in another room (preferably somewhere that she can torment my other three cats!!). When the kittens start to make noises, she will come back to the nest, making little chirping noises to let them know that she's there.

The kittens are starting to gain a lot of weight. The little caramel kitten now weighs 241 grams (more then a half a pound!!).
