Part II of Our Kittens: Some Died

Our happiness over the kittens arrival was short lived.  Two days later, my oldest discovered that one of the dark grey kittens was dead.  Dutifully, she went out to our growing pet cemetery to shovel a new grave.  By the time she came back from burying that kitten, another one had died.

Alarmed, she didn't even take time to bury this second kitten. With the dark grey little sack of stiff bones in her pocket, we rushed out to Petco to purchase kitten formula. That's right, kitten formula. Just like babies, our kittens drank formula mixed with water and dispensed through tiny little rubber nipples on baby doll sized bottled.

That night, another kitten died followed by a fourth kitten's death. After those 4 deaths, we are left with 2 kittens that we hope will continue to thrive.
