Hi Cougar Clan- My little ones are very spoiled and I believe lead a very stress free lifestyle.  The only thing that I think stresses Nibbler out is getting his vitamins and Prt Tinic via liquid syringe orally.  He doesn't like the taste at all and he needs this done a few times a day.  I

First, lessen the stress on him and on yourself and give him and the others the best food possible. Rescue Remedy and Feliway may help you and the kittens. Second, enjoy every minute you have with these babies. Don't look at calenders and wonder what if when or have self-doubts (almost
