Out of the nest!
The kittens are out of the nest and exploring their world (which for now consists of a single room). Meanwhile, in keeping with the “Bella Bunch” theme, we’ve given them their temporary names. Okay, there are aren’t six kittens, but Cindy and Bobby are annoying anyway.

Jan always was the awkward one.

The Bella Bunch
Maybelline gave birth two four ginormous kittens today! Right now we think there are two boys and two girls (subject to change when things become more, err… evident).
Everyone is doing well, though the mama is a little tired. It took her four hours to pop out four kittens! At that speed, maybe “pop” isn’t the right word.
Anyway, before you ask, all four of these kittens are already reserved!
Here’s the story of a girl named Bella
Who was making noises like she was in heat.
She looked up at us and said, “I need a ma-yun.”
And then began to bleat.
Here’s the story of a boy named Pumpkin
Who was looking for a girl whom he could woo.
He was sniffing at the door and serenading
As all virile males do.
‘Til the one day when Miss Bella met her Pumpkin
And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That his sperm would somehow meet her ovum.
That’s the way we all became the Bella Bunch.
The Bella Bunch. The Bella Bunch.
That’s the way we became the Bella Bunch!

Under the covers
It’s kind of hard to tell with all the poop in there, but we think there are five kittens in there. Four for sure, five probably, maybe even six. I guess we’ll find out next week!

I like big cats and I cannot lie…
Okay, she’s not fat. Maybelline is going to give birth in the next week or two.

Let them eat cake!
Rigel earned his Supreme Grand Champion status last spring, but we were finally able to celebrate with the traditional “Supreme Cake” at the cat show in Hartford. This is probably his last show so he can concentrate on wooing the ladies.
Looking suave as ever.
When he’s not looking suave he’s looking cute.
We’re just showing a disembodied cat head today. Please move along.
Keepin’ clean for the ladies. Rowr.
Me: The camera is not a toy.
Rigel: Yes it is!
Me: The camera is not a toy!
Rigel: YES IT IS!
Me: The camera is a toy.
I am adorable, therefore I am.
You know what they say about cats with big paws.
Big pawprints.
What? What were you thinking? Get your mind out of the gutter!
Tuckered out and dead to the world.

Two red boys are (not) available!
Update: All kittens in this litter are now reserved!
Sorry for the long delay in posting — it’s been a little crazy around here. While you’ve been waiting Pippi’s litter has been growing by leaps and bounds. They are some of the liveliest, most interactive kittens we’ve ever had. And cuddly, too. I think they get that from their dad, Rigel, who is the ultimate love muffin.
Anyway, we still have two beautiful red boys available. Take a look!

The other kind of Maine Potatoes
Pippi’s kittens are growing fast and plumping up nicely, as kittens usually do. As you can see, they are well into what we call “the Potato stage.” That’s a technical term.

Poised and perplexed
Okay, we took some pictures of Finoa’s kittens today and give very different impressions.
One of them loved the camera and was very cooperative:
As for the other… “Deer in the headlights” is more like it.
Which is the boy and which is the girl? Good question! If I had to guess I’d say the confused one is the boy, but only because Maine Coon boys are dumb and lovable, where Maine Coon girls are usually more intelligent.
We’ll see if I’m right after Marie (Executive In Charge of Determining Kitten Gender, aka The Brains of the Outfit) takes a closer look.
