Cats are jerks

[StructuraFinesmith]

You may have already figured it out, but just in case: Mama kitty will handle 99.9% of things related to kitten raising.

Make sure there's enough food for mama (they're not eating solid food yet) and be prepared for "litterbox training" - you'll need a low box they can get into for litterbox usage until they get old enough to get into the "big kits box".

I also recommend Rocco & Roxie for odor control (also available in a gallon size for refills) - they'll "miss" the litterbox for like a month until they get the hang of "Oh, IN THERE is where I do this".

Look up "Kitten Lady" on youtube - she'll have all the tips tricks and reasurances for handling the wee little ones.

Day 22 Update:
Opersation OMG KATE WE NEED TO RESCUE THE KITTENS FROM UNDER THE COUCH was rushed into action because Joanie is more of a worrywart than I am. Plus she never thinks things through so I end up coming up with solutions on the fly. Kittens are fine, all eyes open and battlemode engaged when Ghost is in the tub with them and the fight for nipples commences!
All three of them peek over the edge of the large plastic tub but Snudge sticks an arm over as well so one day they'll be the first to jailbreak.
Ghost eats plenty normally and every couple of days gorges on food. She's doing greattaking care of herself and the kids.
We've already got a large low entry litter box ready to be put into action.
I just need a vacation from Joanie before I snap...
