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.

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.

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!
