The white one is Schlomo and was trying to clean himself - between cuddling with me

Fenri was a bit asleep, but seems to already react to his name

And finally, another group photo :⁠-⁠)

Edit: I also need to say, this is their 3 week birthday :⁠-⁠)

    I can understand that, but I won’t promise anything

    I’ll try to though :⁠-⁠)
    At least I’ll give updates on their bigger steps

    Talking of steps, mother showed me, that Fenri had some problems walking
    Which in itself was rather cute (she called me in the nest, waited for them to be in my arms and then moved away a bit to only call Fenri over)
    I saw, that he was doing frog legs and couldn’t get his ass up.
    Which happens, when they grow too fast.

    So, we started some physiotherapy with him, by providing a stable hand to push against, when he wanted to stand up - and sometimes gently corrected the position of his feet. During that mother was holding back Schlomo, so we could actually do some work.

    After 4 sessions (1,5 days) he started to show off and proudly walked around :⁠-⁠)

    Now I need to give Schlomo more attention, because he started to just lay with his mother.
    So I told her yesterday, that we also need to take care of him.
    After that, she was letting them take turns with me and both had their time.

    I’m still so fucking amazed of the intelligence of the mother, who is a stray, and we needed to teach her and play and everything.
    But she is a fast learner and seems to understand every word

    Ok, I’ve told this story now already in Lemmy 2 or 3 times.
    But it was such a success, I just can’t stop talking about it o⁠:⁠-⁠)

      My old stray boy was so smart. One time he wandered into the kitchen looking for me, and my sister said, ‘oh, I think she’s in the living room’, and he nodded his thanks and went into the living room to find me.

      I miss him so much.

        Sounds like a smart guy :⁠-⁠)

        Our sadly deceased cat was on the same level.
        Miss him just the same

        Feel hugged
