Foster Kitten Friday - Fast Learners

It was just last week when these little newborn foster kitties with no mama still had their umbilical cords attached and eyes sealed shut. But no more. I think these two little babes might be on their way to becoming valedictorians.

It took them only one week for them to open their eyes and find their voices. And begin to grow teeth.

Denali has some itty bitty teeth in there.

McKinley has got herself a voice. With a capital V.

They also learned about milk mustaches.

Denali likes to flop on his back so I can help him
go to the bathroom before he lets me clean his face.

Look into my eyes and tell me I'm pretty.

They continue to snuggle up day and night,

but when awake have started practicing for their future careers with WWE.

It has been a whirlwind week of growth. Can't wait to see what next week holds!
