Chunkiest goes to Bing, for gaining 110g this week!
Problem child goes to Focaccia, for trying to run away from her family on multiple occasions.
Overachiever goes to Roti, for being the first to fully open his eyes, the loudest to scream, and for overtaking chunky Bing in weight for about three hours.
Most personality goes to Pumpernickel, for having so much spunk that I have no good photos of her.

Toast update
Toast is doing great! It took her a few days to adjust to motherhood, so we helped with stimulating and keeping her company every two hours to encourage her to nurse her babies. She's incredibly affectionate and loves people, to the point where she often hisses and bites us when we try to leave the room—any tips for mama cats with separation aggression? She's a total sweetheart 99% of the time and only turns on us when we try to leave.
Current focus: socializing her to accept nail trims and getting her used to brushing. Both are going well!
