so ive had her since the very end of novemeber. her kittens are midway through week 1 and 2.
while birthing i noticed two came out MUCH larger than the rest. and growing, many of the kittens have upped and downed, but the two large ones have more body structure to them. they are both boys (the litter is 4 boys and 2 girls).
these two are double the length and size of the runt in the litter, and no others come close to their growth (they arent really fat compared to the others either).
ive also noticed these two are the only solid white with black spots on them (the others have most to all black on them).
momma is mainly black too.
theres also a neighbors cat that he lets out at night that is a maine coon and has sprayed at my door a few times since. (there are many other cats roaming this complex) .
but is this something that happens or could happen if a few maine coons are in a litter with non maine coon cats?
(abby-my other cat- is spayed and mostly maine coon(and slightly persian) so im familiar with the maine coon breed.
their personalities are diffrent from the others too. both of them love their bellys rubed (if thats what- with one finger -could be called).
and they also came over where i was sitting on the floor and tried to climb up on me and then once i held them in my arms they purred and fell asleep. (ive had this "problem" with the escapees since the first night they were born lol- poor cassie will just be like "hey you! get my runaways and bring them back to me." in her mews and looks at them and me-since then she gets more of a "there they go again, oh i give up! theyll come back when they want food"(or cry lol)
anyways, if i didnt see them be born then i would wonder if they even all came from the same litter at the same time. the others are moving but dont leave the nest.
i named them domino and dalmah and i joke now with "uh oh here comes the domino train!" cause they looke like little subway trains slithering their way out of the nest and out around me (or cassie if she left them alone) lol
