Hello All!

Thanks so much for all the advice so far! That is a great pic of Lizzie, what a cutie!!!!

My husband and I moved the kittens this evening. He made a nice box for them, and we put in layers of newspaper and towels, with blankets for bunpers. Munchie seems happy with the nice, clean setup.

So, I have a couple more questions...

1. What temp should the kittens area be? I've found conflicting information all over the web. The room is in the mid-high 70's, but the area Munchie picked isn't as warm as it's in a corner. We have a thermometer in the area and should have an accurate temp reading in a bit. Munchie does cuddle her babies all day/night, but I want to make sure they are warm enough.

2. I *think* I heard one of the kitty's sneeze tonight, and I saw a small drop of moisture under her nostril. I haven't seen/heard any of them sneeze other than that. Now I am worried. I will, of course, keep an eye on her, but I am worried. Should I keep picking her up and checking her nose? Her eyes aren't open yet, ut I didn't see any crusts. Are there any signs of sickness that I should be looking for?

Thank you so much for all your help! I am a reptile person, schooled in lizards and turtles and tortoises and snakes. Cats are new to me!

Thank You!
Christine
