Plastic in the Poop

The two new fosters are doing well, putting on weight, eating, pooping, all the important stuff.  It took about 3 days for these feral ones to decide that people are ok.  The little boy is very fond on burying himself in your hair.  The little girl likes to nibble on ears, "ouch".  She is a typical torti, with lots of personality and a bit on the feisty side.

The estimated Birthday for these two is Halloween 2012.  That would have made them 5 weeks when they arrived.  Having observed their behavior, watching their weight, the very sharp teeth that eat hard food with ease but still need canned food, and the 5 inch tail are my main indicators.

Having spent the first part of their life outside, with little to eat, our little girl must have found a plastic bag that tasted good during her starvation mode.  The other night there was vomit with pieces of plastic, and the next morning her poop was stuck.  Being the designated "mommy cat" I help her out only to discover I was pulling 3 more inches of plastic bag from her behind.  We will keep a close eye on her to see if x-rays are needed, but the hard lump is now gone from her belly and she is behaving like a normal kitten of almost 6 weeks.
