Updates on the wild bunch

Well I have lost 2 kittens to feline distemper. One very sick kitty I believe is going to make it. I have spent the last week tending to him every few hours; making him eat, drink, and take antibiotics. He is drinking some water on his own, but not food yet, and he now feels well enough to want to be held ALL the time. The other 2 kittens do not appear to have gotten the disease. I am going to arrange with the vet to begin their vaccinations, if I can catch the wildest one that is.
Fuzzy has been kept in the house through most of his illness, letting him out to the garden only during the warmest part of the day. I think he is starting to like being a house cat instead of a strictly garden variety. (pun intended, of course)
