As you know, I love updating anyone who will listen about my kittens and all of the adorable things they do. Here are a few stories from their first night with us. Warning: a couple of them involve poop.
As is fairly normal for small kittens, Loki & Izzy both have loose stools. This is fine . . . except when they step in it. Loki doesn't seem to have this problem, probably due to his lack of interest in spending very much time in the litter box (see below), but Izzy is another story. We hadn't even had them home for 10 minutes when Izzy used the litter box like the good little girl that she is and then promptly smeared one of her paws in it. Cut to Eric and me holding Izzy under the bathroom faucet trying to clean her up and looking at each other with identical, "what have we gotten ourselves into?" expressions. Amazingly, Izzy was very calm with the water. She even purred the second time. Yes, the second time. This has earned her the nickname of Izzy-poo.
Loki doesn't seem concerned with covering his droppings in the litter box. Maybe he never will or maybe there's too much fun stuff going on right now for him to be bothered. Regardless, Izzy walked by the litter box last night, saw what Loki had left, and immediately jumped in to cover it for him. Too cute!
You may have noticed in the pictures that we have two of most kitten supplies because we weren't sure how Loki & Izzy would be about sharing. This means that we have two sets of bowls for them, only about 6 inches apart. Loki was drinking the water out of one bowl and Izzy came up and pushed him out of the way. Loki sat back, waited for Izzy to be done, and then resumed his drinking. It was particularly funny to see since she is smaller than he is! I'm thinking she may end up being the bossy one.
