I have had a set back when my friend's mom fell ill and she was never able to come get Princess & her kittens because she had to go back out of state.

My male has found a forever home with my mother who decided she really liked him & wanted to keep him which was highly unexpected. It was just suppose to be a short stay until the queens were fixed. We can visit & it works out well. My mom doesnt like cats (like me) but she loves Freddy & Freddy doesnt care about the dogs. He is my best bud so im glad to have him where i can see him frequently.

Ive decided to let both queens nest in my closet instead of seperating them by cages. Neither queen would tollerate being locked up well. I watched & monitored them. Princess became more relaxed with being allowed in the closet & Lisa hasnt objected. Neither queens nursed the other queens kittens which works out well.

Lisa's kittens were crawling around my closet at 2 weeks old to the day. One kitten is even attempting to drink water, im not 100% sure if it got water from the dish or not but it goes there frequently. I cant believe they are almost 3 weeks old now!

Princess will not allow her kittens out of the closet & her 2 black kittens are very obediant, they never go further then my room under Mom's supervision. Gibby on the other hand occationally comes into the family room where Princess will drag him back in the room if he wont come to her calls & follow. Sometimes he bails somewhere else when shes not paying attention. He's onery. After the advice on here i do not stop her even tho he's almost 7 weeks old now.

Princess will remove Gibby from the litter box in our family room and bring him back to the closet which has been highly irritating when i started finding piles knowing her kittens would use the box if they had access so I added a litter box in my closet, i figured if she wont let them go to it then i will bring another to them. She's letting them venture into my room but not further before she'll start calling them back but she prefers them to stay in the closet.

We are finally truely able to get hands on with the kittens. Princess allows us to handle them & play with them in the closet without acting paranoid. Gibby, with his onery streak, has always disobeyed staying where he's put & you can tell hes the most socialized. We come home & he comes to the door. He hears my voice in the mornings & hes at my feet even tho his Mama doesnt always appriciate it. The 2 black kittens keep to each other it seems. I am trying to find a home that'll take them together.

All of Lisa's kittens respond to my voice like i was their mother calling them so when i go into my room i cant talk or i'll end up with 6 little almost 3 week old kittens coming to me which i dont mind, i love it! I just cant talk when its dark in the room or i draw them out of the closet & tho we use flashlights to make sure, i rather be safe then sorry.

I am happy to have Princess back to her normal self. She's allowing us to love on her again & she goes to bed with me everynight for extra lovins.

Our house is finally peaceful!

Here are some recent pictures! I appologise i do not have names for any but Gibby. I love them all but i have a hard time naming animals. LOL! I am not creative. Freddy & Gibby's names came from the iCarley TV show but my kids picked those. it fit them too!

 Princess's little boy

Lisa's little girl

Lisa's other little girl

 Gibby & Lisa's other little boy

 Another of Lisa's little boys

 Lisa's little girl

 My 2 queens & Lisa's little boy in between

 Gibby & Lisa's little boy. Gibby was sitting there when Lisa's little boy crawls under his chin.

The one time i catch them sleeping together. 2 of Princesses boys & Lisa's entire litter. I woke them up by taking the picture.

I'm so glad you were able to come up with a solution that worked for everyone which was not an easy feat! They are so absolutely precious! It's fine not to name them but when I do I always try to name litters by theme- it's easier to keep track of. I'll throw some ideas out there to get the creative wheels spinning. Some of the ones that I have used before or want to use are: types of wines (Merlot, Pinot, Cabernet), nuts (Peanut, Cashew, Hazelnut, Almond) , cereals (Pebbles, Crunchberry, Kellog, Cheerio), and cars (Aston, Bentley, Jaguar, Porsche). Obviously there are a ton of options under each of these headings. You could even do names of characters from favorite TV shows or movies, like your kids did with ICarly. Since her name is Lisa, maybe name them all after characters from the Simpsons: Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie... Those are the only ones I can think of but it might be cute! 

Congrats on the solution!

jennyranson - Yes, I was so worried Princess would never be happy & we all would be miserable. I was so worried she was going to be distructive after she bit me & freaked my husband out pretty badly. She's become a loveable cat again & im glad my friend couldnt take her but she is never NEVER never getting pregnant again.

Bellesmama - Thank you! they have been a total joy!
Love them!! Soo cute!
EB24 - I made myself look horrible on this site by venting about everything that was going on. In the end i did what everybody told me & thats to leave her alone. I was stressing when i shouldnt have about her moving her kittens. I know it went against different advice about seperating the queens at the same time but it worked out. When my friend fell thru because we thought that might be best for her, we had to do something. My stress level with her being around is gone & i no longer have anxiety attacks looking at her.

I do like the name ideas. That would be an awesome idea. I never thought of something like that. I really like the car idea & with more boys then girls it'd work out great. my sons would love that idea!

You were understandably stressed and used the board for venting- sometimes you just gotta get it all out there! I'm glad the name suggestions gave you some ideas- the care babies (Aston, Bentley, Porsche, Healey, (mini) Cooper, and Jaguar was one of my all time favorite litters so I'm sure they would be more than happy to donate their names to Lisa's babies! Have fun with picking them out!
