Kittens' First Bath

Well, the kittens are growing...and getting messy. Jinx is the only one who still requires the bottle (although they all would prefer the bottle if we let them). They are over 5 weeks old and should be eating regular kitten food at this point, but they have enjoyed being spoiled and want it to continue. Unfortunately, this transition period means wet food all over their faces and paws and the floor and the walls and...you get the picture.

I think the above is of Vegas. It is hard to tell from this angle. Nestle is bigger than the other two black kittens and Utah has more gray on his front paws (stray hairs, not like all-over gray).

Above is Jinx. They all really liked the hair dryer part of the bath. In fact, they all curled up and would crawl over each other to get closer to the dryer. We were surprised at how well they tolerated the baths too. Their future owners can thank us for introducing bath time early.

Are you sure that is Vegas? The kitten in this picture looks so innocent. But we the audience know Vegas usually takes a mycathatesyou.com-esque photo. Very deceptive.

Well, Misty seems to think it is Vegas b/c she thinks Vegas has gotten calmer and Utah has become more wild. Personally, I think she's just mixed them up. Utah had more gray on his paws before, but the gray is all gone now so he and Vegas look identical.
Misty also took the blue collar off Jinx, who is now indistinguishable from her buddy Reeses. We so need a better system...
