Everyone's eating a mix of Kitten Chow and Purina One (50/50 blend), and canned chicken cat food with a little brown rice and acidophilus - a pinch for each food dish - to help digestion. Sammy gets shredded cooked chicken in hers for extra nutrition.
Rue and Lil' Bro are using the same kind of litter my Elle has, clumping clay litter. It's going well, and I learned from experience that Lil' Bro will not tolerate shredded paper - he'll go potty elsewhere! Sammy's taken the same attitude, so I've switched out the shredded paper for Swheat Scoop Natural Litter. I was quite pleased with the price - only about 5 dollars more than the regular litter I use - and especially with the volume! 27 pounds of Swheat is about two litter boxes more volume and product than 27 pounds of the clumping clay litter, so talk about value! Plus it naturally clumps and has some decent deodorizing power, so this is definitely a product I'm happy to use for Sammy and the babies. I may even consider switching altogether.
I also purchased three extra litterboxes: one to replace Rue and Lil Bro's (their temporary one had definitely served its purpose and needed replacing), and two small boxes for when the little babies are ready for litter boxes, which should be sometime later this week, early next week.
The little ones were plump, fat and vocal during their weighing yesterday. Fatty, by far, has the strongest pipes :)
