Well, I'm awake but tired as heII. The babies screached until like 4 am. Oreo had really no idea that laying ON her tummy wasn't the way to allow them to TRY nursing. However, they did quiet down sometime, I fell asleep LOL
Woke up to three very quiet babies but my daughter woke me up. She saw the pics I posted on facebook and had to come see.
They seem to have figured out where and what the milk bar is.... one would cry once in a while...one would also PURR!!!!!! What a glorious sound!
I'm pretty amazed that 2 out of the 3 are bald LOL. But technically, they're
F3's, they should be. I just didn't really know for sure since Oreo came from part sphynx mom and a full Devon. Now breeding Oreo back to sphynx resulted in baldies, I can't wait to see what Bonnie will have...Oreo is only 25% sphynx, bonnie is 50/50.
I'm elated!! Happy healthy babies that can nurse right away. In a month, Maddie my other Sphynx momma will have hers, but we will be bottle/tube feeding. Vet suggested 48 hrs instead of only the 24 I did with Zippy.
God this is so exciting!! Thank you EVERYONE for your support through this and I'm glad to have had you all watching and waiting. It means alot!!

Thanks you guys! I'm very pleased with the outcome, all are happy, healthy and doing wonderfully!
Just was up for a visit and man, they're cute as all be!
Will definitely take more pics and post them. I love to show off babies when I have them. Love to show off ALL my cats, but here, it's fun with the little tots.

Just wanted to give an update on the little ones. They are eating like little piglets and getting nice plump tummies. My husband noticed that our tuxedo girl has grown quite a bit! He was quite excited!
Oreo has been doing a great job with her new babies and is much less grouchy when they cry LOL. She would growl when they cried. She doesn't do that now.
They are all doing really well in all respects. Good appetites, good lungs, and very active and strong. The two that came out with a small amount of fuzz on them are starting to lose it, just as I suspected.
I'm so blessed

Another update! They are still doing wonderfully and I weighed 2 of them last night with hubby's help as they were screaming at the top of their lungs for Mom. the largest of the two was my tuxedo girl at 142g. She weighed 110 at 3am on Sunday am at birth. All I can say is "wow", she's a little larger than the other two, but they're all really healthy and strong. They cruise around in their nest like they're training for the Olympics LOL
No open eyes yet...they're only 3 days old now, I mean I should be patient. My last two litters though had their eyes open by now, so I guess that's why LOL
Tonight I'm going to try for more pictures of them. It's dark in their nest so pics don't look as good but I am going to pull them out onto the bed and see. If they scream their little heads off, Oreo will come running and she might just take them back in on me. She tried that last night when I was holding one on my chest. She wasn't liking it LOL

Sam, I would think that they would be. I don't think of these kittens any different than any others. I have only had the experience with Zippy to compare to, but these kittens are even more active than he was.
I took pics last night. I'll post them in just a bit....gotta run all the way back upstairs to get my camera LOL

Ok here's the pics I promised. I am only posting those that are the cutest LOL You can see the slight fuzz in the first picture. When she was born, it was more wavy, but it is rubbing off/falling out. I expect complete baldness someday LOL Check out those fat bellies!! Not sure how they got like that, but I guess they DO eat non-stop!
It appears they are enjoying themselves, sleeping on their backs! Our tuxedo girl is the most relaxed of the three in terms of the screaching LOL
