I want them to stay this size, and stay with me forever! :scream : They're fully litter trained, and eating dried food now. Mama is still nursing them a bit, but not that much. I'll try to post some more pictures soon. :heart :

I spent the afternoon at my parents house to kind of say goodbye to Moo. She's weaker today than yesterday.
She wouldn't eat any of the yummy gravy food we gave to her but she did eat some roast beef tenderloin and gravy, what we were having for dinner. It was a pretty sad day. Even my dad cried. I think my mom wants to wait until she's a little more out of it b/c car rides are really traumatic for her. When I left she was lying on the bed in my sister's old room. She's still purring up a storm when you pet her.

I hope all of the ailing kitties are feeling better soon.

Sicy said:Sue I would keep them until 8 weeks at least. They should be with their mom until then. And I think weaning is 6 weeks, so they will definately still want to nurse right now.

Personally, I have no choice. I have to feed Zoey & Saki each a seperate vet prescription food becuase they both have urinary issues. Zoey's is worse than Saki's so she gets the 'stronger' version. They both suck though. The ingredients are crappy but for the most part they have not had issues while on the food so that's more important to me right now.

All that said, a 6 week old kitten can obviously survive without its mom, so if there's a reason to give them up that early, they'll likely be fine, it's just not what is considered 'ideal' according to what I've read on pretty much every website I've seen.
Me, I'm using the 8 to 12 week guideline to justify keeping them longer.
