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 a little camera shy (Zippy kept running out of frame, hence his name) but they’ll get over that.
All of these kittens have been reserved!

We’re pleased to welcome Jackie Blue to our household as a new dam. She comes to us courtesy of Phil & Marjorie Berger (MaineVu Maine Coons) and Bill & Susan Lee (Coons Cross). Thank you to both catteries for this lovely girl!
Jackie is slowly adjusting to her new environment and getting to know the other denizens of our household. In the short time we’ve known her we have learned a few key things, however:
- Jackie love, love, loves cheek and head rubs (I mean really, she leans into it).
- She will roll around on the floor and chirp for no apparent reason. Either she is already in heat or she is just naturally happy.
- She is excellent at finding new and interesting hiding places. How did she get in there? Even the kittens don’t get in there!
- Responds to pretty much any nickname we care to think of. Jacks, Jackie the Jokester, Wacky Jackie, whatever.
- As I write this, she is licking the door. Live with cats, embrace the weird. I think that’s my new motto.
I shall sit regally upon the yarn stash.

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 sure she’ll understand.
Five of these kittens have been reserved.
Yeah, it’s going to be like this for a few weeks, isn’t it?

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.
Step right up, plenty of milk for everyone!
Hey, get back here!
*Sigh*

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!

The NPR litter is growing fast and enjoying the additional space in the main part of the house. After meals they like to burn off that excess energy by running back and forth as fast as they can. Then they nap… until they wake up and start playing again. And eat some more. It’s a kitten’s life.
One girl (Sylvia) is available in this litter.

Garrison Keillor (boy)

Sylvia Poggioli (girl)

Pippi gave birth to seven lovely kittens a couple of days earlier than expected! Four red kittens and three dark ones, all nursing well. More details on the patterns and genders once Pippi lets us get a better look at them.

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 kittens Wilson, Spalding, Rawlings… I can’t think of seven basketball makers, so maybe not!
Seven!
Get these things out of me!
