Now all the kittens in the litter have found their future homes, Sixten's future family has also visited us. They will get along so well! It is always important to us that the kittens come to good homes, so now it feels good in our hearts that all three of them will get nice and loving homes!
Much of the kittens' play involves learning what you need to know to be an adult cat, they sneak up on each other and chase toys. They also practice wrestling quite a bit, but let's hope they don't have to do that later in their lives. Things get pretty wild when they wrestle, here it is Signe in the bowl and Sixten outside who are playing a match:
As fast as they can start a wrestling match, just as quickly it is possible to fall asleep when it is time for that. Here the whole litter and mother Penny have settled down in an old basket with a sheepskin trap.
When you have big kittens in the house, you got to “childproof” the area :-). In places that the kittens can access, we cannot have vases with flowers or other nice things, because it immediately becomes something to play with. When one of them discovers something new to play with, the others are there seconds later – it's important not to miss anything exciting!
Now at eleven weeks they have left the stage “sugarsweet kittens”. Of course, they are still very cute, but starting to grow up and become a bit more of a teenager in the body.
We really like these kittens very much! They are so nice to be around and want so much to be with us where we are. It's good to know we get to have them here for a few more weeks. When we were going to photograph the 11-week pictures today, all three were so very mischievous. We still managed to get some pictures, but it's hard when they get set on hunting because we play with them with a toy with a feather <img draggable="false" role="img" class="emoji" alt="🙂" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f642.svg"> Cats that hunt, for example when they see a bird, open their mouth and make a little chattering sound, Sally is an expert at that:
