The 5 Pound Club

 

We've come a long way since 1 lb 11 oz and 1 lb 13 oz when these little girls came home on 29 October. Not quite 5 months old and both have reached 5 lbs. Big milestone. Next up, the shedding of the baby coats! They haven't started that yet but I have noticed some really long adult guard hairs coming in at the base of their tails. In other news, Butterfly (left) is learning to fetch, and we've discovered both of them like to be bounced like human babies. Seems to calm them down. So when necessary, we walk around with a kitten on one arm, bouncing her gently up and down as you would a baby. Weird, but adorable. (The pink towel they're sitting on is where they have their breakfast and supper. I guess they figure if they sit on it there's no way they'll miss a meal.)
