 Marnie checking out the babies

 The four stronger ones........... but at this point, I realize that Cupid is in trouble too.  His meow is so weak I have to hold him up to my ear to hear him.  He's not nursing like the others and he's not as active as he was.  So it's time to start hand feedings and keeping him warm.

 Momma is ever so watchful. I'm so thankful she doesn't mind my meddling.  :)   She - infact - doesn't like being in the box with them.  She wants them on the bed during the day ... so I hang out and make sure everything goes right and they are left alone.

 Nathan came in to see ...  he knows not to touch the kittens.

 Kittens in a basket.

 Boo, Rex in the middle, and Sulley ... with Momma making sure they are all good...

 Cupid and Rex... you can see the size difference.   Other than Junebug - who's still hanging on at this point, Cupid is definitely the smallest, and Rex is the biggest.

 Momma feeding them.  See how Cupid is there, but not nursing?   So I start to hand feed him every two hours.

 Here are the little baby socks I made rice packs out of.  I filled them with rice, sewed them up, and we warm them up in the microwave for a couple of seconds every hour.

 Cupid is hugging Junebug .....

 This is the last picture taken of Junebug before she took her last breathes....  (you can see how her back legs are limp and non-functioning) ....

 Cupid's heart ... I love his heart!   And then there were 4 ........

 And then there were four.....
