I entered the fostering room this morning to another case of an empty box. This time, I found Kismet behind the futon, which is Shadow's safe space. I know I should be upset about this, but I'm not. It means that Shadow brought Kismet there, which means she's mothering Kismet without us in the room. She just doesn't want to do it in any spaces that we set up. The futon is easy enough to move so I was able to grab Kismet for weighing fairly easily.

While Shadow ate her morning wet food, I pet Kismet and got my first looks at Kismet's face without having to hold the kitten up and try to get hir to look at me. Ze is 12.6 ounces today, which is up from yesterday morning's 11.39 ounces! That is one big kitten. We're not sure exactly how old Kismet is, but we're pretty sure she's around 2 weeks old. Here's what the Kitten Lady says about a two-week old kitten:

• At two weeks of age, kittens' eyes will be fully open and baby blue. Her vision will still be developing.
• The ear canals will be open and the ears will be small and rounded, like a baby bear cub.
• Two week old kittens will be wobbly on their feet and attempting to develop coordination and movement.
• Average two week old kitten weight: 250-350 grams

At 357 grams (converted from lbs and oz) Kismet is a big kitten, but the other milestones are definitely there!
