Three Little Kittens, update

PaPa continues to feed the kittens and they continue to eat : )  and they also continue to be shy and skittish.  Tonight, first kit to belly up was Blondie.  She might be the boldest of all three but sometimes Dot / dotty / Polka Dot takes the lead.  



Dotty is usually second but sometimes first.  PaPa feeds them twice a day.  Now that their Mama has moved on and left them (mainly) to their own devices, they seem to be here every day.  Mama has weaned them and no longer drags them off on road trips to test their skills and break the maternal bond.  Still, Mama shows up once in a while, to supplement her diet.  I imagine she is off getting ready to start her next family.  I am sort of hoping she doesn't bring the new kits to us, when it comes time to wean them . . .

Charlie is always last.  Charlie might be a female and the others, male -- but we can't get a hold of any of them yet so may never know.  Charlie, PaPa thought, was the runt but I think Charlie has outgrown Dot now.  Still, even if larger, Charlie is the meeker. 

So, there we have it.  The update.  I don't know what can be the outcome of this story.  We can't get them corralled, to get shots.  We will be getting worm medicine, to put in their food.  I don't they we can help to avoid fleas, without being able to catch them.  So, these kittens may remain ferral and untamed.  May they not get sick or diseased.  They give PaPa his daily entertainment and is teaching him responsibility and duty.  ha ha!
