On Thursday the kittens went off to the Vet. Shelby got into the travel bag, but Lewis refused. Given their history, we wondered if he thought he was being moved on again. They behaved beautifully at the Vets and were given a clean bill of health. They were jabbed, and chipped, and we filled in lots of forms.
Back at home, the kittens were very sleepy, so we left them upstairs.
They were both really good natured with the visitors. We've started moving them on to a raw diet (the kittens, not the vistors).
We also gradually switched them over from a normal litter tray to an electric litter tray. We started with a normal litter tray with normal (ish) litter. The first change was to put a lid on the litter tray. Then we put their normal (ish) litter on in the base of the electric one. Then we switched them to the crystal litter. Then we put the front on. Then we moved the litter tray. Then we plugged it in.
A couple of days later we found Lewis making himself at home in Izzy's identical litter tray downstairs, so that worked really well.
It amazes me that they take so many changes in their stride.
On Friday, Miss Tween came over for the afternoon and stayed overnight. I'd expected that my overseas giests would be gone, but it turnedout that "Wednesday to Friday" really meant "Wednesday thru Friday". She knew one of the guests so had a good evening. We got to try out the new self-inflating, very sturdy, bed that I'd bought a few weeks ago.
We'd been trying to get her over earlier, without letting on why, but that was the earliest. we could arrange something. It worked out really well, she was completely besotted with them from the start.
