Kittens at Week 12 and 13

One less kitten in the house.  Basil was adopted and her name was changed to Winter. 

12 weeks old, Rosemary and Tarragon

Tarragon and Rosemary have adjusted to their missing sibling and are more playful than ever each day that passes.  The biggest change in their appearance at this age is in the shape of their faces.  They are rounding out, making them even more adorable.

At 12 weeks they weighed 3.5 lbs and at 13 weeks they are almost 3 lbs 14 oz.  The tail length is 10 inches.
Other than brushing the kittens and cleaning their eyes, they need very little help with their grooming.  With two kittens, one grooms the other in tricky places like ears.

Both the kittens want lots of attention first thing in the morning or maybe they like my mug of hot coffee.  Curious about what I am drinking, Tarragon decided if I liked it, he might, too. He took one lick, ran away, shook his head and gave me a look like "how do you drink that vile stuff".  Rosemary didn't learn from her brother and tested it out for herself with a similar reaction.  The next morning, each put their nose in my mug, shook their heads in a way that said "why?", then settled in for some people time, only warming themselves by my mug.

Tarragon has a new favorite toy.  It was a rabbit fur mouse, but the inner plastic mouse is gone, leaving just the fur covering.   If you look close you can see the gray fur.  He is very possessive of this item, yet plays fetch with it.  For more than 30 minutes he brought me the toy, I threw it, he chased it, then brought it back again. It's a great way to wear out this very active little boy.
