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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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. …

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 …

Sleepy kittens are easier to photograph

The kittens were taking their afternoon nap, which was the perfect time to take pictures.  Otherwise all you would see would be blurry action shots.  They are kittens and they must be in motion, especially right after a meal.  But eventually they poop out, and here we are. I might have nudged a kitten or …

Finally, new pictures of the Irish litter!

Sorry this took so long; It’s been a little crazy around here. As we mentioned in the last post, all of these kittens are reserved.  However, we arranged for Maybelline and Pumpkin to have a romantic evening together just the other night, so cross your fingers… Bainne (pronounced BONN-YEH) (female).  Bainne is the Gaelic word …
