If you’re nice to me I give you a bit of tongue when we kiss.
If we were making greeting cards, this would be the “I’m sorry I forgot your birthday” picture.
Your choice of shoes is… fascinating.

Getting Bigger!
Sorry there haven’t been more pictures of Pippi’s kittens before now, but there wasn’t much to see. Unlike Maybelline’s kittens (who tried to crawl out of the nest within hours of being born) these kids have been content to hang out with Mom, nurse, and turn into plump little potatoes. Now they’ve progressed to the point of being active, playful kittens, and their individual personalities are starting to show. So here they are! (They’re named after New Hampshire towns, by the way).
Oh, before we begin… I am very happy to say that Pippi’s kids learned to use the litter box faster than any set of kittens before them, for which I am very, very thankful.

Is this a photo op?
Pippi’s kittens are opening their eyes and really starting to grow (or, as we call it, “pudge out)”. They’re also getting pretty mobile, which means they won’t stay still for pictures. But do kittens ever? So we took a lot of pictures and here’s the best of them…
You, on the end, look at the camera!
Nice, now everyone else… Oh, never mind.
Five out of six isn’t bad.
Okay, if you’re done we’re going to nap now.
Or maybe we’ll get really close to the edge of the bed and see what happens.
And now, for your entertainment, I will sleep in the cutest way possible.
The floor is so far away, and yet so enticing.
If you’re done taking pictures, we’re pooped!

Surprise!
Well, Pippi decided to have her kittens a few days earlier than expected, so we have another six kittens in the house! This is Pippi’s first litter, and she and the babies are doing fine. Like every new momma cat she is a little protective of her kids, but we managed to get a picture of the traditional “kitten huddle” anyway.
Let’s get a closer look at those sweet little faces… Ready now?
Awwww!
Double Awww!

The lineup
Maybelline is getting a little more comfortable leaving the kittens alone in the nest once in a while. so we were able to get some good pictures. They had lined themselves all up in a row for our convenience, which helped us get pictures of their faces. They’re just opening their eyes!
You should probably sit down before looking at these, lest you become faint from the massive cuteness.

Better than nothing!
We tried taking some pictures of the kittens, but Maybelline was very protective of her kids and kept getting in front of us. Although the kitten’s eyes aren’t open yet they reacted to that anti-redeye light that comes on before the flash and they’d turn their heads. So, we got some pictures but I couldn’t tell you if I got all the kittens. So this collection is kind of random. But, hey… kitten pictures!

Up all night
Maybelline gave birth to seven big, healthy kittens last night and into the wee hours. Look at those porkers and then imagine that she had those in her belly a few hours before. Yeah, it blows our minds, too.
There is a lot of variety in color in this litter, even a couple of blues. Based on the colors we think we have mostly girls (boys can’t have three colors), but we’ll be more certain when we get a closer look at their plumbing. That’s Marie’s job.
We’ll get more pictures when we’re awake, but right now we’re putting on a second pot of coffee.

Lucky Seven
One can never be entirely sure from looking at the X-ray, but it looks like Maybelline will give birth to seven kittens on or around July 10th. We thought it might be a big litter, because she’s looks like she swallowed a basketball. If she gets any bigger we’ll have to stick one of those Wide Load stickers on her rump.
