Took me awhile to work my way through your pages last night, but your kittens (and cats) are so adorable!

I'm going to weigh the kitties tonight! I'm taking bets now as to who's the heaviest!
Oh Marian, thank you so much for the lovely compliments. The cats thank you also.


I hope you are having a lovely day!


Sam.

Just finished weighing them and changing out their bedding.
#1, Wilbur and #4, Frito are tied for 1st at 10oz. Give or take a 1/4oz they're squirmy little things

#3, Nacho, the 'other' orange boy, is about 9oz
and the teeny girl Dorito, #2, weighs in at a petite 7oz

Besides her weight, she seems to be thriving. And I'm not sure what they weighed at birth... I'll keep an eye on her, and I've been putting her in the box first so she can get a head start on her siblings - although, she doesnt seem to let them push her around!

Funny, how when you're talking about something so tiny, you can definitely feel and see the difference 2oz makes!

Anyway, here's a pic of my 14-yr old and Wilbur. See - his eyes are open!

Your daughter is very beautiful.


Can't believe Wilbur already has his eyes open. My babies which are eight days too, don't even show signs of opening their eyes. Although we have had babies with their eyes open at 4 days.

I cant believe how nice everyone on here has been! I can hardly keep up with you all, thank you very much!

We let Joshua, my 2-1/2 year old hold a kitten (Wilbur) in his lap today for the very first time while we changed the bedding. I just couldnt resist this pic



Look Ma - no hands!

The two smallest, one girl and one boy opened them yesterday. Wilbur just opened his today. Frito, the calico, has yet to peek
Anyday day now though...

Sam, do you know how much yours weigh now? I posted the weight of these guy's a few posts up

I know Willow is "officially" just a domestic long-hair, but a part of me cant help compare her to a Siberian. She even has the little twilly sing-song voice of one. I heard her do this before I even knew what breed of cat did what. She was sitting in my bedroom window and I woke up thinking something was wrong with her

Actually, before I a little bit ago, I never even realized there were other long-haired breeds aside from the NFC (which I adore) and the Maine Coons.... (excluding of course, persians and himi's) But since I've started doing more and more research I discovered the Siberian and I was like ---> that's her! Love ever after.

And hey, if dogs can have labrador mixes or shepard mutts, why not Sibe-mitts?
LOL mutts -- I swear! that was a typo. It works though!

Sounds good to me anyway....

...and I couldnt resist the pic with my son. He's been wanting to pet one since they were born and today we finally let him hold Wilbur in his lap. He did such a good job, I just couldnt resist the human tree!

well the little kiddies will be three weeks tomorrow already! Time flies when you're having fun


I will be posting new pics and weight updates then.

The little fuzzballs are so ACTIVE and just love to explore. Tomorrow we will bring them out of the room and introduce them to Chewbacca


I'm so dreading the day some of these gys find new homes they all have their individual personalities already! My oldest daughter wants to keep Frito, the cali-girl with the patch on her eye. I have a new fondness for the littlest girl, Dorito. She is such a little cuddle bum! When we take the kits out of their box all her sibllings tend to venture around, Dorito is content close by my side. She loves to have her chin itched already. Nacho, the once-littlest, now-even boy, the darker of the two boys, is the clown. Always trying to wrestle up some fun already.

Oh well, was just thinking about the little buggers and thought I'd post their update
