Yes, I know you're all bored with the kittens by now. To that I say: too damned bad; this is my blog and I'll write what I damned well please (and I say that with all the love in my heart that is humanly possible).
Wanda, it turns out is a boy kitten. We're not changing her name. I'll leave that to her future owners. I hope s/he does not have therapy ahead of her as a result of this.
The kittens have started opening their eyes. Today they are 10 days old so they're right on schedule.
I crazy about these little fluff balls and one day I may choose to look back and see how things progressed. Or I may use these entries as notes for my book: What to Expect When Your Cat is Expecting.
Catchy title, no?
Let the record also include the hilarity of the name changes I suggested: Since Wanda seems to be a boy and Cosmo is likely to be a girl, we should call them Wando and Cosma.
I kill me.

Angel is indeed female, but Vixen is male. I explained it was the proper noun for a female fox, but she didn't care.
