Well, they are ALMOST three weeks old. They are starting to explore the world now... they got their first toy, they cry for me now too, and they have started play-fighting with oneanother.

Kitten freeway! I think this pic looks like they are on a little kitten highway.



Baby's first toy.


Cuteness and kitten tongue! They can only groom themselves if they are laying down... or else they fall over!




Momma and babies:


Kitten backs (to help you with the poll):


Cuteness trying to suckle the wool bed.


This is my other favorite... he's so calm and sweet, and he loves me to death. He's always trying to come to me when I come around.


Kitten stampede:



Phew! That was a lot, but I know you guys don't mind because they're KITTENS!
And IMO, they are at the cutest stage.

This is another kitten I like a lot. He has more obvious stripes on his belly and the SILKIEST fur ever on a kitten. He has Sneaker's face, too. His skin seems grey, his underfur is white, and the tips of his fur are cream/buff. He's gorgeous! Sorry I don't have a better pic of his belly or face...



If anyone else wants more angles or a more detailed description of the kittens, just let me know and I'll do it!

Heh... no. They are mine. Sneakers is the momma and Ziggy is the dadda. I didn't get Ziggy fixed in time.
(The little rascal got her pregnant the week before we got him fixed!! Never trust a tom.
)

We are beginning to find homes for them as some of the people that initially wanted one backed out (spouses didn't want one).


Sneakers is only 4.5 lbs and I still can't believe she had six kittens, all of them healthy so far. She is a straight-eared Scottish Fold, daddy is a moggie.

Cute buggers!

I dunno aobut colors, but they will definately darken up. We had some kittens come in the same colors, and they looked like ragdolls/snowshoes by the time they were 12 weeks old. For the creamy ones anyhow.

Wow! They are so beautiful!

Now that their color is coming in, I really think they will look like a seal lynx point mink burmese type cat, even though there is techinically no such color in Burmese. The seal lynx points seem obvious to me now, but with the mink/ champaigne coloring of a champaigne burmese.
Your little tabbies are cute too

Awwwwwww they are SO adorable!!!!! I love the pictures, every single one is gorgeous! I love the kitten stampede


We definitely need more photos! They're certainly at a very cute stage - I love when they start to become aware of their surroundings and start exploring.

Has Ziggy had anything to do with the kittens?

I'd like to say they'd be pointed, because it kind of looks like they will be. I always thought that was a dominant gene, though, and neither Mum nor Dad is pointed, that I can see anyway.
If the tips of their ears weren't so dark, I'd say they'll be cream tabbies...but none of the cream tabby kittens I had as a kid had ears that dark.
Is the mom cat gray? I can't quite tell from the pics.

You've got some little cuties there...they are all adorable!

Yep, mom is blue... medium hue.

About a week ago, Sneakers grabbed one of the kittens, marched out into the entryway, and plopped the kitten down in front of Ziggy. She meowed a little "Mah!" and stared at Ziggy... Ziggy trilled back and sniffed, and eventually licked the kitten. Before then, he was curious, but seemed scared of the kittens.
Godiva still hisses at them, and Bandit is friendly, but she doesn't want to be involved. Ziggy now likes to come in a kitten sit while Sneakers eats, and he grooms them too! It's way too cute.

I'll get pics and post them later tonight so you can see their brown spotted bellies. But I have a lot of crap to do before then so it will be late.
Sorry!

Fiddlesticks! My batteries ran out of power, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow... Maybe you can post what you would like a better pic of coat-wise...it would really help me if I knew exactly what angles you guys are looking for.


I found some somewhat older pics that might work for now, though... so here's more kitten pics for fun!


Spotted belly: Three of the buff ones have this. Two of them have it really dark (very obviously light grey), and the spots on the third are just very pale, but still grey, on the lightest kitten. I don't remember which kitten the picture below is:



Blurry, but still cute! Kitten yawn! This one is a week or so old.



You can really see the one that is not a normal tabby in this one. This is the kitten that is too light with too many white hairs to be a blue, but no obvious pattern or striping or spotting at all... except on the belly and a tabby M.



For those of you who think they will be cream tabbies, get a look at those ears and tails. They are GREY! I'm confused.



The face of that little grey one and my favorite buff one:



Bad pic, but cute face, eh? This is the cream one I like again.

I can't really help you with the coloring question but I have to say that I have come in and looked at these cuties at least 5 times today, just to put a smile on my face.

Aw, shucks! Sneakers is beaming. I just told her that her babies make people smile.


I printed out pics to take with me, even though they're black and white from a laser printer.

That one that you like the most looks jsut like the one that I found at my uncles farm a few weeks ago. He was so darn cute and yours are just beautiful! I should have kept him. I miss the little guy.
