okay everyones got a nipple and shadow is Zonked for now .. so i got to go get dressed for a job interview .. got to love trying to get another job to add to the one i have .. Blah blah
Right now there are still 5 .. Magi is being a good mama.. she hasn't gotten up to eat yet though .. so i held a plate of food close to her and she CHOWED DOWN!! She is busy loving on her babies.. They are all doing well with their big bellies and perky and meowing.
Although i do have a Q.. can kittens purr when they are first born.. because they were purring and it was sooo cute .. and it almost looks like their eyes are about ready to open
Ohh here is a run down to make it easier if people are interested
#1 is a male black and white tuxedo with long broken back socks
#2 is a male black and white tuxedo with a small white stripe coming up over its muzzle from its white chest
#3 is a male black and white tuxedo with one long broken back sock and a long unbroken sock
#4 is a male black and white tuxedo with a white mutash
#5 is a female black and white tuxedo with a large white swash running up her face and spots on her muzzle
I do believe that there are more coming .. but she hasn't gone back into contractions.. i will have to feel her belly when she gets up from her babies for a second
I am willing to bet that the sex on these kittens changes as they grow.
They are extremely hard to sex at this age. The purring is the way the mom guides them to her nipples and they purr back in response. Their eyes won't be opened yet and young kittens are extremely near-sighted.
Enjoy the family-
