Two newborn kittens from a rescued calico mother, Cassava, have become so round from nursing that they roll out of bed. According to Love Meow, the kittens were already close to 350 g each by two weeks old and are now 3.5 weeks old, nearing 500 g. Cassava, a fluffy calico, is caring for a sweet tortoiseshell and a ginger-and-white kitten, named Tapioca and Sago. The mother is still wary of other cats seen through gates and will not be introduced until she feels ready. Cassava has begun taking quiet moments for herself and is comfortable napping or eating alone. The kittens are growing into little explorers, sitting up, hopping in and out of their bed, and playing together. All three are in the care of Best Friends Felines.

Key takeaways

  • The kittens are 3.5 weeks old and close to 500 g.
