New mug shots

Today we have new mug shots of all the kittens! They are four days old today, and they have already grown quite a bit. Each one has gained at least 20 grams since the day they were born. That is a 20% gain. The biggest one, who started out the biggest and seems to be on track to hold that position, went from 115 grams to 170 in four days – a gain of about 60%!

Baby Kittens!

We have kittens! Baby gave birth this morning to 5 beautiful babies! I guess that makes them Baby babies! They are all black and white, but each one has a different pattern, and different face markings. I think we’re going to have some very cute faces here!

They weigh between 95 and 115 grams, and they all seem healthy, thank goodness! Good job, Baby! This is her first litter, and she didn’t know quite what was happening, but she’s firmly in Mom mode now.

Baby’s kittens, about 8 hours old, and a tired but happy mom.

Welcome, Baby!

Today we welcome Baby to our house. Baby is an adorable and cute kitty, a bit over a year old, who has come to our maternity ward to give birth to her babies. Her owner loves her and wants to take her back once her babies are grown and weaned. We think she may be due in about a week, so watch for updates! The kittens are bound to be adorable, and will be up for adoption when weaned. We will post lots of pics as they grow!

Baby loves the scratching pad – it smells of catnip! She’s pretty round, but I don’t think her time is close, since she doesn’t have milk. I can’t wait to see her kittens! I’m expecting them to be extra adorable, because she is!
