Awwww...babies! :) At that age, they should be able to accept solid food without a problem...if you use dry, might want to soften the food a little with a bit of water! As for the dogs, slow introductions are, of course, the best! Might try a barrier, like a baby gate, where the kittens can safely check out the dogs...but I'm sure it won't take long for the babies to get used to them! They'll naturally be curious, but I've found that giving them a "safe place" really helps speed up the process...ie. the kittens know that they can jump over a gate without fear of being pursued!
Most of all, just enjoy their antics! My guys are over 2 years old, now...and have turned into big, lazy bums...but I still fondly remember their "kitten days"...well, most of them, anyway...I try to forget about some of their "less-than-inspiring" moments...trying to claw their way up my pant-leg, mistaking my foot for one of the other kittens...ouch! :) Jen ----- Original Message ----- From: Rachel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, October 7, 2004 10:55 am Subject: adopting 2 more kittens > I just got a call today from my friends at the animal rescue. > They've got two 8-10 week old kittens that are leukemia positive. > Of course I'm taking them in. > I've never had kittens under 4-5 months old before. > Is there anything special I should do for them differently than my > adult positives?
