Lumens had two already both black and white. Sadly she's moved her box out of range of the IR cam that was setup on trigger.

Yay for more forum kittens.

Sam, as the replacement Dad, will you be pacing up and down nervously and handing out cigars to people?

How are they all doing?

There's 4 now and mummy is knackered so we're having to help with breaking the sacs etc. Poor thing. Last process she was having contractions while fast asleep.

I'm vaping a cherry cigar flavour in celebration

Coming soon, I don't think a flash will do down well atm.

Hurrah

Four kittens is probably as near an average as you'll see quoted for a litter of domestic cats, so that's a pretty normal bunch.

Right, it's now time to get Lumen spayed. You do realise that she can get pregnant again, almost immediately! I think the normal advice is to keep Mum indoors with her kittens until they're starting to eat solid food (so a couple of months time), and then get her done.

In the meantime, kitten piccies please (once Lumen has recovered a bit, and/or without a flash).

Lumen looks exactly like Sassy, the cat that used to live with us but now lives at the in-laws' due to psychopathic behaviour.

I bet TimO is getting broody...

Start the bidding Sam!

I do love the shot with Lumen's arm protectively around the kittens.

Valiant · « **Reply #22 on:** 10 March, 2012, 05:04:32 pm »

A few more pics before I try and setup the live cat cam again

TimO · « **Reply #23 on:** 10 March, 2012, 05:11:48 pm »

Do they all have tabbying? One clearly has it down it's back, and some seem to have tabby patterns on the head, but it's hard to see if they all have some tabby, or whether some are just black and white, like Lumen.

Do you know what you've got yet, ie how many Toms and Queens?

The little claws on that one shot look surprisingly sharp.

Still, The Cute is overpowering!

Valiant · « **Reply #24 on:** 10 March, 2012, 05:42:14 pm »

Their claws are super sharp! Not sure how many boys/girls yet. Under a bright light all of them seem to have various level of tabby in their dark patches.

Might need some help with Frankie though.

He doesn't like being in the house, when he is in, Lumen keeps sniffing his behind, you'll remember when we first got her that she hated him and hissed at him. Now it seems the other way around, he hisses and growls at not just at her but us too and refuses to come inside house

Infact he just clawed my face when I tried to pick him up outside for a cuddle which he usually loves.

We've run out of that cat hormone stuff, should I get more? Will it help?
