I took Easter pictures of the babies outside today because it was so nice and warm.

Punky, she had a little bit of crust on her eye so I cleaned it that is why it is damp and I think I talked my sister into her today when she saw them for the first time.





Harley he is soo cute I think he is my favorite and if I keep one it will be him

I realize you wanted some good sunny-day photos of the babies, but honestly, it isn't a good idea to take them outdoors to get them. Their little immune systems are not fully developed and you are risking a lot to their overall good health by taking them outside at this tender age, regardless of how warm it might have been today where you are located.

That now being said, they are adorable little lambs. I hope they will all grow up strong and healthy.

How is it risking their immune systems taking them in my own yard? I sat them down for about 30 seconds to take those pics and then took them right back inside.

It puts them at risk to contract any number of the airborne feline viruses, many of which are fatal to developing kittens. At 13 days old, they do not generate much of their own immunity, but get what little they have from Momma's milk, provided that she is healthy. They can also pick up fleas or other parasites which can deplete their limited resources.

Taking 13 day-old kittens outdoors is just a bad idea all the way round.
