    So the kittens are growing on fits and starts. But if I average it out they seem to be doing fine (White ears only gained 5 grams in 24 hrs but was 10 grams heavier overnight and needing to eat breakfast). I still wish Quickshadow would pay more attention to them and less to the clubhouse...

    Yes rescuesbots is a cartoon spinoff from transformers. Quickshadow had 2 brother's that are no longer with us. My boys named them after the cybertronians on that show. Quickshadow is the only female transformer so by default.

    Well litter 1 (almost 4 weeks) is trying out solids. I have pulled the biggest of that litter out of the nursery box twice today and saw him pick something up and chew it (could have been spilled litter). So I put some of tonight's scrambled eggs and tuna on a plate on the floor. 1 decided to...

    I've only seen him once when her broke into my chicken coop to share the leftover meatballs I fed them. He was very scared and so just a blur. From what I could see he is completely black. The only thing I really noticed is his head and neck were the same size as his body. He is a big Tom and I...

    Overnight 12 hr gains were not super impressive. But man later down and started feeding them as soon as I started weighing so these are empty belly weights. White ears +3 =136 Negative raccoon +9 =142 White goggles +8 =148 Mole +4 =128 Black +1 =136 It was at about a week that I started...

    Thank you I agree. I was actually surprised she ended up pregnant as I've always been told calicos are sterial. I won't be making that mistake with her 2 tricolor daughters! Her boys will be neutered so the Tom is less likely to run them off. Like I said plenty of mice to go around and cat food...

    I love how she uses her "hands". She is now thinking she messed up by not moving them "cat style." She can't figure out how to pick them up! They are getting big and her mouth just isn't coordinated enough. They do curl properly when I pinch the skin to lift them and they lay down and wait for...

    They are over 36 hrs old now. The while group range went up about 6 grams in 12 hrs. Quickshadow was trying to steal them back this morning so I put all the kittens in a bowl on my kitchen scale and took tare weights quickly as I returned each one. I have since been forgiven.

    This is Mother 1 Cali trying desperately to keep her babies Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, and Minnie from exploring the "big scary world". This evening she relaxed and even tried to get them to follow her back to their porch. They had no clue what she wanted so I put them back in the cat carrier...

    She is a Rescuebot. I have 3 boys! I guess I don't have her picture. I'll get one in the morning. She is gray with stripes on her face and legs.

    So weights are looking good. The range tonight 12hrs since first weight is 124 - 140 grams. Quickshadow has since forgiven my and i got identity pics with the weights so I can track them individually. I will post pics and weights separately. I won't name them until I can sex them and make sure...

    You do know animals including cats and humans for that matter can die from stress. They have a job outside and are proud of the ability to do it well. They have both brought us "gifts" and wanted to share their bounty. @IndyJones Ok with = No but as you said they bread like rabbits and her...

    Also i forgot to say, @talkingpeanut , I didn't feel judged until the 3rd time i was told that I have to keep my outdoor cats trapped and stressed to help them. Also if kittens die when they are outside at less then a month old how is there an overpopulation of strays? I'm lucky litter 2 was...

    Then let me repeat myself. Kittens outside for brief excursions supervised by me and their mother. Spaying will happen when she no longer needs her overies to make milk and the time away won't kill the babies. In the meantime you keep an outdoor cat fully trapped for 6-8 weeks and she will...
