The Bowie litter is growing like gangbusters. A few weeks ago one could fit into the palm of your hand and now they’re each the size of your hand (unless you have really big hands). The kittens are definitely in what we call “mobile potato” stage. We have a completely unscientific list of growth stages for …

Kittens instinctively cluster together for warmth, which inevitably makes for a very cute picture. So, here is the kitten cluster picture for the Bowie litter! The kittens are growing fast and Fiona is being very attentive, as always. Several of these kittens have a beautiful mackerel pattern. It’s going to be very interesting to see …

Fiona gave birth to six squeaky kittens on Tuesday, January 11th. It was a couple of days earlier than expected, but they were also all a little bigger than normal. Lucky Strike, the father, was not surprised. “Mrrph!”* he said, “They got it from me. I’m never late for anything. Especially dinner.” Fiona, as usual, …

Jackie’s kittens are starting to get a little more mobile. We are fairly sure that there are three boys and two girls, but we’re going to wait a little longer to say which is which and make sure we have it right. It’s all a little fuzzy. Ha! Meanwhile, we took the kittens out of …

Here are Jackie Blue’s kittens all lined up in a row. They do this on their own (around here was call it the “Kitten Cluster”). Kittens can’t regulate their body temperature on their own for about three weeks, so they instinctively huddle together, or next to Mom. Jackie’s warm milk helps, too (and we have a …

Jackie gave birth to five big kittens this afternoon! She is a bit worn out (delivery took almost four hours) but everyone is doing fine. More pictures to come! All kittens from this litter are reserved.

Ashley and Noreaster’s kittens are doing great and getting cuter by the minute. We’ve named this litter after characters in the independent Star Trek film Axanar because it is completely awesome and you should check it out. Plus, I really wanted to name a kitten Kharn the Undying. Klingon kitten! All of these kittens have been …

Update: Sylvia has been reserved and her new family will pick her up next week. So, one more week of guarding our mugs from a coffee-loving kitten! 🙂 Sylvia is still available! Things fell through with the folks who had reserved her, but that means that if you can’t wait for a kitten you’re in …

Pippi’s kittens (also known as the “mobile potatoes”) all have temporary names that rhyme with Pippi. Hey, it’s a better theme than “Rhymes with Rigel.” Nigel? Di-gel? It hurts my brain. Anyway, these kids are scampering around the kitten room, mostly learning to use the litter box, and enjoying tummy rubs. Some of them are …

Ashley gave birth to seven kittens in the wee hours of the morning today. Just like her grandmother (Nutmeg) she shot them out in rapid succession with very little drama. Maybe she could have picked a more convenient time, but we’ll have a serious talk with her about scheduling after she’s had some rest. I’m …
