new kittens (--), possibly distressing 

Mom is still not visibly acknowledging them. They are alive and moving, but she's ignoring their cries.

We have decided to let nature take its course, though it's one of the toughest decisions we've ever made. There just aren't the resources to care for them, not if Shadow isn't on board to raise them.

There is still a glimmer of hope. For all we know, she's feeding them when we haven't been around.

We're not seeking advice, and to be perfectly honest, I don't want to discuss it. I just wanted to let people know.

other kittens (++) 

The good news is that Sugarfoot and the Lvl 1 bumblers -- who are on the cusp of promotion to Lvl 2 anklebiters -- are doing marvelously. The kittens are showing me their first signs of active affection, seeking me out with happy noises and trying to climb my legs. ^____^

@zebratron2084 Oh, gosh. Good luck to all.
