We're on day four now, and doing well! The kittens all gained weight between yesterday and today, so we've just got to keep that up. We're almost out of the perscription diet the vet gave us, so we picked up some kitten food at the store today. We're still mixing it with formula, but should soon be able to move to canned entirely.
The little things are hitting a lot of milestones, too - getting more coordinated, starting to do big-cat things like grooming themselves (ineffectively, but they try), and even (WOOT) using the litterbox! We still have to intervene for now and they don't always get the box, but they're learning. =)

So, wanna meet the family?

	Black Boy One of the first two rescued, this is the explorer of the lot. He's been the most independent, OK with being handled but much prefering to climb over everything and check out the big wide world.
	Gray Boy This fellow came from the second round of rescuing. He's the mellow one, and probably the snuggliest. He's been the first to truly seek out petting, and prefers curling up and getting petted to rough-and-tumble with his siblings. Somewhat to our surprise, he's also the biggest right now. He seems to have some personality traits in common with our Calcifer.
	The Girl She's god an odd expression in this pic. ;) While she's not quite as adventuresome as her dark brother, she's still a pretty outgoing girl. She's the most developed of the kittens, with ears pretty well fully opened. In body type and personality, she's a bit like Trevor. She'll probably be a beautiful and sleek kitty when she grows up!
	The Runt Excuse the dirty face in the pic! The baby of the bunch, our little runt is the most roly-poly of them all. He's kind of the peacemaker in the lot, and seems to have a lot in common with Nicholas' "play with me!" personality.

It's getting a little old to refer to "the gray male", "the girl", etc., so we're considering names. Chances are that whoever gets adopted out will have their name changed, but that's OK!
I've been bouncing themed names back and forth with Kiefer today, and we're tending towards some of the following:

Coffee names (black male, big gray, female, gray runt):
Macchiato, Venti, Via or Latte, and Breve

Chrono Trigger:
Gaspar, Spekkio or Cyrus, Schala, Glenn

Final Fantasy 4:
Kain, Edward, Rydia, Edge

Also tossing around drink names (Squirt, Sprite, Tab/itha, etc.), explorers and philosophers (Magellan, Aristotle, Socrates, Newton, etc.), and more. Right now, I think we've been leaning towards the Chrono names, but we'll see. Got any suggestions?
