Happy New Kittens!
Well, this was an interesting way to spend New Years Day. Nutmeg began giving birth this morning and squirted out four cuties in rapid succession (we don’t call her “Machine Gun Megs” for nothing). Then she started to have trouble with Number Five. Try as she might, it wouldn’t come out. We ended up taking …

Count the kittens!
Normally when our vet x-rays an expectant mother she can give us a definitive count of how many kittens to expect. But things are so crowded inside Nutmeg that all she’ll commit to is “five to seven.” Looking at this, I can’t say I blame her. As usual, the dark stuff is just poop.

The “Occupy Couch” Movement
We’ve let the kittens out of the nursery and into the main part of the house so they can learn to socialize with other cats (and get more time with us, naturally). Needless to say, they are making themselves at home… Abigail Tipper has found her place in the sun. Jackie-O Bess is in Feisty …

Faster than a speeding sleigh
We were taking pictures of the kittens for this year’s Christmas card, and briefly considered using this sequence. Cooler heads prevailed, but here it is for your enjoyment. Yeah, posing kittens is easy.

Bess (Truman) Δ Abigail (Adams) Δ Ladybird (Johnson) Δ Tipper (Gore — should have been First …

They plump when you feed ’em
It’s amazing how big those kittens get after a few days. They look like plump little furry sausages. Maybe we’ll name the Bratwurst, Kielbasa, Andouille, Knackwurst, and Chorizo. Okay, maybe not.We have a rule about not naming kittens after food, no matter how tasty they look.

Maybe’s Babies
Maybelline gave birth to five big kittens on Tuesday morning! They quickly proved to be more mobile than the usual litter. One of them crawled out of the nest within minutes and we had to put up the barrier. These beasties were a little late, so they must have used the extra gestation time productively… …

Did you get my good side?
Time to get some pictures of the Patootie-Pumpkin litter before they go to their new homes! This sounds like an easy enough thing, but there is a certain technique, you see. You can’t take pictures right after a meal, because at that point they’re all zipping around and all you get are pictures of blurs. …
