#mockingjay crew

I found out today their mother is a carrier of ring worm. This means she carries the infection but does not show any symptoms (lesions, hair loss, etc.) 

5 of the babies have confirmed cases of ring worm, including Mockingjay who was spayed this morning. Effie is the only one who does not, but we are treating her anyway since she has been exposed.

It was hilarious watching them react to another adult around them. They've seen some, but this time I'd unplugged everything and gave them free roam of the room. 

So, I found out Finnick is a shy and a bit scared around strangers. He hunkered down on my shoulder with his ears flat, and seemed to be getting ready to climb down my shoulder and back away from the lady helping me. 

She could not get over how beautiful Effie is, and I tried to explain to her how Effie came by her name. 

It's amazing how fast kittens grow, and how quickly the mothers teach them to be self-sufficient.

Haymitch, Johanna, Finnick and Mockingjay are all over 2 pounds and ready to be spayed or neutered.

The babies are 8 weeks old tomorrow, and mom said she was done with all their shit! She would be away from them for 13 hours, with them for two and be growling, hissing and making some of the most awesome cat cussing noises I have ever witnessed.

My little Mockingjay crew are doing great. More of them have eyes open, they are tumbling around, it's adorable.
