Better than nothing!

We tried taking some pictures of the kittens, but Maybelline was very protective of her kids and kept getting in front of us. Although the kitten’s eyes aren’t open yet they reacted to that anti-redeye light that comes on before the flash and they’d turn their heads. So, we got some pictures but I couldn’t …

Up all night

Maybelline gave birth to seven big, healthy kittens last night and into the wee hours. Look at those porkers and then imagine that she had those in her belly a few hours before. Yeah, it blows our minds, too. There is a lot of variety in color in this litter, even a couple of blues. …

Lucky Seven

One can never be entirely sure from looking at the X-ray, but it looks like Maybelline will give birth to seven kittens on or around July 10th.  We thought it might be a big litter, because she’s looks like she swallowed a basketball. If she gets any bigger we’ll have to stick one of those …

Sleepy kittens are easier to photograph

The kittens were taking their afternoon nap, which was the perfect time to take pictures.  Otherwise all you would see would be blurry action shots.  They are kittens and they must be in motion, especially right after a meal.  But eventually they poop out, and here we are. I might have nudged a kitten or …

Finally, new pictures of the Irish litter!

Sorry this took so long; It’s been a little crazy around here. As we mentioned in the last post, all of these kittens are reserved.  However, we arranged for Maybelline and Pumpkin to have a romantic evening together just the other night, so cross your fingers… Bainne (pronounced BONN-YEH) (female).  Bainne is the Gaelic word …

Are we not kittens?

Six kittens, six pictures! (FYI, all of these kittens are reserved) We will have them named and the genders identified for the next post, but in the meantime…

It’s the Irish Litter!

Patootie and Talisker are the proud parents of six kittens born a few days before St. Patrick’s Day… so we’ll think up some good Irish names for them.  There for four boys and two girls, five of which are already reserved. After an exciting (Caesarean section) delivery, Patootie and the kids are doing just fine. …

But wait, there’s more!

We found out for sure today that we have more kittens available! Back in January we fixed Talisker and Patootie together for a date but they didn’t seem to get along.  Toots didn’t seem interested but we left them together for the day in case she changed her mind.  We never did hear any of …

More pictures of the Champagne litter

We tried to get some good pictures, really! The kittens and Nutmeg had other ideas. For example, in the picture above that big blurry thing is Meg’s tail — but it’s the only picture with all four kittens even remotely standing still, so there it is! One out of two kittens not moving… I’ll take …

Meet Rigel!

We have a new boy in our home, and his name is Rigel.  We will be showing him soon, and if all goes as planned he will be the father to many, many kittens.  Rigel is a stunning solid blue. Pictures do not do him justice. (Rigel, by the way, is a giant blue star …
