I have 7 now, and a litter due on the October 24th! I am so excited I could just spit.. lol
If any of you have kept up with the post and read about Katie the neurotic persian.. I have recently re-homed her to an outside enclosed home.. I do not think Katie will ever appreciate Human contact and sadly we decided to place her here so she can have the freedom of the outside ..but not roam free.
I have had alot of wild cats in my lifetime and have tamed almost all of them..but Katie was just not happy being handled.
Update on Bramble: She is big as a whale and just under 4 weeks left. I have added Piper and Prue to the family ..does this madness ever stop? I can't turn away an animal who needs a home.
*slaps himself* Hope everyone is well and in good health.
well after a long wait .. We have 5 days to go and Bramble will have her babies ... She and I have just had a big cuddle and a tummy rub which she loves and I can feel them moving ... So Wednesday of next week is her due date .. *bites nails*
Bramble is at her 62nd day ... she is very anxious to be with me, she is here as I type this, which is not her normal behaviour.. might be a long next few days ... anything I should be looking for guys? this is my first litter and i am jus crappin myself! excuse the expression! Wish me luck
OMG I am so exhausted ..she has kept me up since Wednesday..I have been afraid to sleep, her due date was wed..but she has only just finished having them about 10 pm this evening. She started about 5 pm and has had 2 boys and 1 girl.. They are all white which hopefully means they are colour points or they are going to be cream.
Most of you know she is a Torti Smoke ..there wasn't one like her.
The father of these kittens is a seal point, Brambles mother was a silver tabbi, and her father was a cream , I know the mother of her father was a colour point as well ..so could this be why I got the result I have?
I can't wait to take pics ..she is an exellent mother but very tired and so am I ...now I am going to bed lol I just had to post this before I lie down..
Oh my - what a darling!!! I've never seen newborn kitties before. I've only just caught up with this thread, and I'm so glad after a slightly rocky start that you're sharing your beautiful cats with us. I think what you're doing rescuing all those unwanteds is amazing - thanks on behalf of all the UK feline furries.
Oh those kittens are adorable, and in my opinion much cuter than if their noses were totally flat. I know the smushed in face is the Standard for Persians, but I think the kitties with a bit more nose, like a doll face, are so much prettier.
