Right on time

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 …

Eight nipples, seven kittens, no waiting

Pippi’s kittens continue their progression from tiny fur blobs to enormous fur blobs. At this stage they resemble fuzzy potatoes and we start kicking around names like “Russet,” “Yukon Gold,” and “Idaho.” Then we remember our personal ban on naming kittens after food and wait for some other inspiration. Five of these kittens are reserved.

Six or Seven

Ashley is due to give birth to six kittens this week! It could be seven (it depends on if you are counting skulls or spines), but we are sure about seeing at least six on the X-ray: Update: Everyone who has looked at this since we posted it says “seven.” Of these, five are reserved!

Seven is a crowd

Pippi’s kittens are due in another week, so we got the usual X-ray done so we know what to expect. It looks like there are seven kittens in there! We guessed that it might be a big litter because she is waddling around the house looking like she swallowed a basketball. Maybe we’ll name the …

The best-informed kittens on the Internet

We keep the radio tuned to NPR pretty much all day, so one day I suggested that having well-informed kittens would be a point in our favor when it comes to choosing a cattery. Alas, Marie doesn’t think knowledge of world affairs that is something people are really looking for in a kitten. I’m not …

Little things get bigger

Georgette’s kittens continue to grow and (of course) look cute. Their eyes are just opening but you wouldn’t always know it for all the sleeping they do. Eat. Sleep. It’s a kitten’s life. All kittens in this litter are reserved.
