We have babies!!!


Yesterday morning by pure luck after I woke up I went under the spare bed to look for something and there they were 2 beautiful kittens.They are the most adorable kitties ever!!! And they are so big!!.
I pulled the bed back a bit to see if they where okay as they werenâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t making much noise and I saw them.1 is pure black with a little white tuff ( just like the suspected daddy ) and the other is a brown /black tabby so cute.I was worried at first seeing that its been only like two weeks since her first birthday but she is a fantastic mummy.I pick one of them up as I thought its nose was bleeding after she left the room but just after I picked it up she came in and told me nicely to put it back lol

She is happily in a box with her babies who are adorable.I can already see a bit of personality the black one is very demanding and the tabby is very laid back.

I bought kitten milk and droppers just incase she has never liked milk but she wasnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t drinking any water so I fulled a little container with kitten milk and she went crazy.I have some names in mind but I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t know if they are boys or girls I am hoping for one of each to call them Noah and Avery ( I had a dream the other day that she had them and I called one Noah and I just like the name Avery)

I have picked the tabby up just a min ago mummy cat just looked at me and then she started to come out of the box probably just to get food so I put bubba back in.

This is the freaky part.yesterday was the 1yr anniversary since a beloved family dog snoopy died which I think is god giving us something to remember her by its such a cute 2 things aswell

Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll be getting her spayed ASAP

question do you know when they open there eyes and when they do are they a certain color then they change or are they 1 color all the way

when is it safe to really cuddle them.We might be having small kids around today they love cats and know to be quiet and gentle but is it still to early especially for mummy we had a visitor yesterday who just had a look and she was fine with it but I am worried if she gets defensive or something she trusts us but maybe not other people who only visit occasionly

also she still has a big tummy is it possible she could have more in there it has been at least 24hrs since she had the other 2 she looks a bit off but maybe that just cos she has just pushed out two little chubby's

They start to open their eyes between 10-14 days (some can open sooner - my rex kittens were opening their eyes at about 7/8 days!).

They should remain the same color - black/white and (from your description) the other is a brown tabby. What color is mom?

I would keep strangers away from mom and kittens till about 2-3 weeks old - after they have their eyes open. Before then the mom will be pretty possessive and may even try to move them thinking they are in danger. Little children should not be handling them at all - they can pet them a bit but wait till the kittens are about a month old for that.

called vet lady said its very unusual for a cat to have two cats and she should have been up and walking around which she wasnt so i took her in and the vet felt her tummy and it was full of food no extra kitties and she was just being lazy and her temp was fine.I was stupid and didnt take the kitties and left them with a friend i know they are fine they have had a few poops no diarreah and have no probs getting food.I just wanna now the sexes

I am 80% sure they are boys but does anyone know a sure way to tell whether they are boys or girls
the names are running through my head

I know, it's nerve-wracking!!!
How's the little family??

On her last litter, Babs only had one kitten! We looked everywhere for others but nothing! lol
As far as opened eyes go... my latest Kitten opened his at the very tender age of 5 days... usually, takes about a week or a little more...

I read this in a few places. To tell if you kitten is a boy or a girl look past their butt, if you see the area is round, it it a boy, if it is rectangular the you kitten is a girl! Good Luck and don't forget to post pictures!

Those ARE big kittens! Do you know for sure when she had them?

The little family is so cute and happy looking. Welcome to TCS.

Congrat's on the two kittens, your baby tabby looks like two of my almost 3 week old kittens.

hi there

they are now 9days and adorable grown heaps.she had them sometime a between 2am and 7am those pic were around 4pm.

I am now 80% sure its one of each so thats good.Its funny when people see tabby first they say its a boy then they see the black one and tabby becomes a girl and blacki is a boy.

Our friends are getting a kitten ( british blue) on boxing day the kitties would have to be at least 2weeks old right or they would be 2 young to sell.

ok got 2 go

I think the time when you can actually start "selling" them, is around 6 weeks. They need the moms milk untill around that time period. I havent ever seen kittens younger than 5 weeks for sale, or for takes. Hope that helps a little bit....

They are big kittens though, they are gonna some big boned babies.
They are gonna give thier mommy a hard time once it comes down to "play time with mommy" cuz they are gonna team up on her...And scince they are so big, it might be fun to watch.

They are little beauties though, congrats!!
