Here are Jackie Blue’s kittens all lined up in a row. They do this on their own (around here was call it the “Kitten Cluster”). Kittens can’t regulate their body temperature on their own for about three weeks, so they instinctively huddle together, or next to Mom. Jackie’s warm milk helps, too (and we have a …

Meet the Axanar litter!
Ashley and Noreaster’s kittens are doing great and getting cuter by the minute. We’ve named this litter after characters in the independent Star Trek film Axanar because it is completely awesome and you should check it out. Plus, I really wanted to name a kitten Kharn the Undying. Klingon kitten! All of these kittens have been …

Sylvia is (not) available!
Update: Sylvia has been reserved and her new family will pick her up next week. So, one more week of guarding our mugs from a coffee-loving kitten! 🙂 Sylvia is still available! Things fell through with the folks who had reserved her, but that means that if you can’t wait for a kitten you’re in …

Right on time
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 …

Eight nipples, seven kittens, no waiting
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.

Meanwhile, back at the NPR litter…
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 …
