Here's all 3 kittens in the playpen

As you can see, Gwyn has pretty much settled in. The other two are MUCH more relaxed than they were at first. I was able to give all three a good scritching without any distress.

Tomorrow we will finally answer the question as to Mysterio's gender. And give them a flea treatment. And as soon as they are 'settled', a trip to the vet.

That there are wonderful, good, kind people like you. Please keep posting these kitty stories to help offset all the bad in the world. People who love animals in need certainly are among the best of humanity.

Please live up on those babies for me V give them scritches from their Uncle J

It looks like the have everything they need right now, food, water and a litter box. Before long they will be piled up, snuggling with you, Madoc, Gryff and Arthur.

Thanks for the update, picture and being a loving advocate for the stray kittens. You're making a big difference in their lives.

7. A funny and instructive kitten story

My hub and I also rescue cats.

Small kittens often get into their water and then get into their litter box. I use clumping litter in my litter boxes. Unfortunately, it turns into concrete on a wet kitten. I got tired of bathing them so I tried crushed walnut shell litter. It worked great . . . . until I let them into general population. One of the kittens decided that the cat food kibble looked like crushed walnut shell litter and proceeded to use the food bowl as a litter box.

The cat is 3 years old now and I have not been able to convince him that kibble is not walnut shell litter. I have to put the food bowl away when he is out of his kennel.

We covered the playpen with a blanket to calm them down. After a while I went out and wiped up the water.

I'll check on them one more time before I got to bed, tonight. Tomorrow will be a VERY busy day!
