Then followed two weeks of dark and cloudy weather, which made it quite hard to make good pictures. The kittens were born in a room upstairs, but to get them in touch with house hold sounds, they would be better off in the living room, so they moved downstairs at the age of 6 weeks. I wondered how they would take it. I made a safe place in a big carton box with their own carrier and thick blanket, and lots of fun things to play with, and put them in there. I had hardly turned my back or they climbed out of the box and started to explore the living room with their little tails high up in the air. 

Of course all these experiences made them very tired and they fell asleep pretty soon after their first round. They didn't mind being put back in the large box and even now, one week later, I often find them in or near this enclosure playing, sleeping, nursing....
It's very funny to find that the kittens don't fear the things I think they will, and get a fright out of things I consider very normal. All in all they are pretty fearless though. Brave little cuties!

Sveinn, October 28th '07.

November 4th '07, the day after Kimi (Krasnois' littermate) had left for his new home. Krasnoi seems a bit sad, lying in the scratching post, next to Sverrir.... These boys will go together to their new home. It's nice to see they are already bonding.

November 9th '07, Sveinn, Sverrir and Sara on the box, all sound asleep.

November 20th '07, Sveinn, Sverrir and Sara were sleeping together and I woke them taking pictures. They were just so cute!

Sveinn on December 1, 2007 with his nose all dirty.... Some kittens have these dirty noses more than others, but I think Sveinn is king of them all!
Sverrir on December 1, 2007 on the box in the kitchen. His future roomie is inside the box making scratching noises, and I got this picture of Sverrir with this distracted look by chance.

Later that day: Sverrir in a little chair with (too?) vivid colours. He loves to withdraw from the action and just lay there.

Sara on December 1, 2007 with her typical look. She may seem distant but is far from that! She'll come for a cuddle any time and is just the sweetest purr kitty around.

Sverrir left 3 days later, together with Krasnoi, and Sara left 3 days after Sverrir.
