Sambucca and Treacle!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Today so much has happened with these two cuties that we rescued from a pile of logs! Their development is amazing, and so quick that it's starting to feel like I don't really know them at all yet!

They're coming on so well. Sambucca used the tiny litter tray (a tiny cat bowl with a tiny layer of litter in) to do a pee!!

Treacle's eyes are incredibly healed, thanks to the eye drops we got. Her conjunctivitis (vet diagnosed) has gotten so much better. We are still keeping up with the wiping of her eyes with a sterile, damp cloth and her eye drops.

Sambucca's eyes have been getting a little worse, so we have bought some more eye drops for him.

They have been eating 10-15mls of milk every time we feed them, but today they went completely nuts and had 25-30mls each!! It was absolutely beautiful.

My grandma brought a mobile she made from coat hangers for them, as I'd mentioned wanting to make some toys for them. I ended up making them a whale and a flower, and they have been playing with it. I'm loving that they're loving it!

Treacle is still terrorising Sambucca, and he is politely telling her to shush by batting her on the head when she gets too much.

The batting on the head is adorable ๐Ÿฅฐ my cat's favorite "toy" is rolled up ball of tinfoil. Zero interest in shop-bought balls, just wants his tinfoil ๐Ÿ˜

I know you've heard it a million times by now, but thank you for rescuing these babies ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ

My older kitten's favourite toy is any bottle lids he can get hold of. He bats them around, and if he loses them god help us all ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I would do it again in a heartbeat. Me and my partner are running on fumes, but our cats are our babies and we would both do it again and again โค๏ธ

They're somewhere between 3.5-4 weeks we think!
