Today we took the kittens to the vets.  We took them because we think that Lyra has a cat cold, and we were proved right.  The vet said that her temperature was up a bit.  She measured her temperature by sticking her device up her bum.  Mum said that was because cats won't hold a thermometer in their mouth and it won't measure in their ear.  This is probably common practice in the circle of veterinary surgeons.

They gave us some tablets for Iorek in order to stop him from catching it too, but I think it is too late.  Iorek has already this evening started getting a gummy eye and started snorting and sneezing.
