No Drama Mama

Pippi gave birth to five beautiful kittens on Wednesday. Like her first litter she was a couple of days early, but the birth was otherwise not dramatic. That’s how we like it!

Like most kittens they went from birth to the nip in no time flat.

Marie was right. Breeding a red girl with a blue boy does not get you purple kittens. I knew that in my heart, but I can always dream.

Feeding time… again!

X-Ray Vision

Well, we already knew that Pippi is fertile as a turtle, and now we know that Rigel’s swimmers can pull their own weight.  We think Pippi will give birth to five (maybe six) kittens later this week. However, although Pippi is red and Rigel is blue, Marie insists that this will not result in purple kittens.

We are ready to take deposits on this litter, so if you haven’t filled out a placement application yet, now is the time.

Maybe we’ll call them Yin and Yang

Meanwhile, back at Maybelline’s litter…

Bed, Birth, and Beyond

Fiona gave birth to two very large kittens on Monday.  This is her first litter and she surprised us by insisting that she give birth on the bed… and she’s kept the kittens there ever since. We’ve been trying to transition them to the nest but she’s been persistent in moving them back.  We’re working on it.

In the meantime, prepare yourself for kitten cuteness! Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

No problem

Flash doesn’t mind if you lay on top of him and fall asleep. Go right ahead.

And then the kitten climbs into your lap and falls asleep…

It’s the Fab Four

Yes, we’re using a Beatles theme for this litter.  Of course, since there are three girls and one boy we had to make some adjustments…

John (boy) reserved:

Paula (girl) reserved:

Georgette (girl) reserved:

Ringa (girl) reserved:

While all four kittens are reserved, we have a couple of ladies who we think are pregnant, so we are expecting more litters this summer. Nothing official until we get the x-rays done, but fingers crossed!

We interrupt our normally scheduled kitten pictures…

…to bring you Lucky Strike giving me one of his patented extra-cute poses. These usually lead to lap time and a belly rub. Not that our cats have us well trained or anything. Perish the thought.

Kitten pictures coming soon!
