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 …

Rhymes with Pippi
Pippi’s kittens (also known as the “mobile potatoes”) all have temporary names that rhyme with Pippi. Â Hey, it’s a better theme than “Rhymes with Rigel.” Nigel? Di-gel? It hurts my brain. Anyway, these kids are scampering around the kitten room, mostly learning to use the litter box, and enjoying tummy rubs. Some of them are …

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.

Seven is a crowd
Pippi’s kittens are due in another week, so we got the usual X-ray done so we know what to expect. It looks like there are seven kittens in there! We guessed that it might be a big litter because she is waddling around the house looking like she swallowed a basketball. Maybe we’ll name the …
