That’s what they do at this age. Some of them are opening their eyes. That is a little early, but that is how it goes with Pippi’s litters. Her kittens seem to mature quickly.
We especially appreciate this when they get to the “learning to use the litterbox” stage. But that is weeks away. Maybe. With Pippi’s kids you never know.

Pippi popped out five kittens in about an hour and a half this morning. The second one came out five minutes after the first. I think that’s a new record! This may have been the easiest delivery ever, except that these kittens were super squirmy when we were tying off the umbilical cords.
There are three reds and two dark torbies. With Pippi and Rigel as parents the reds should be boys and the torbies should be girls, but we won’t officially say for certain until their equipment becomes obvious. As ever, my hopes that mating a red girl with a blue boy would result in a purple kitten were dashed. I know, that can’t really happen, but it would be cool.
Pippi and the kittens are doing well. She is very much in “protective mode” so we’re staying out of her face for now. Otherwise she’ll do something inconvenient like move the kittens from the nest to under the bed.
In case you missed it from a previous post… All of the kittens in this litter are already reserved.

Based on this X-Ray Pippi will be giving birth to five kittens, three turds, and a yellow mouse pointer. The kittens are already reserved, although the turds and mouse pointer are up for grabs.
The kittens are expected on June 9th, although Pips has been known to pop them out early. She definitely looks ready to burst!

Here they are! Every litter is different, and this bunch is very social and people-oriented. If you come in the room they will come out to greet you. If you sit on the floor they will crawl on you and snuggle up. Just be careful where you sit. They’re still getting the hang of that litter box thing.

Fiona gave birth to four lovely kittens last night. The first three came out pretty quickly, but the last one decided to hang out inside Fiona for another three hours. However, it’s just as big and squirmy as the rest.
No news on the genders yet. It’s a little early to tell for sure (and as you can see below, Fiona is just a little protective).
Please note that all kittens from this litter are already reserved!
More pictures when Fiona lets us!

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.

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!

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!
