OMG!! Hissy! How could I have missed this thread?!?!?!? Those babies are just GORGEOUS!! And Mum is a darling too... I hope they all stay as healthy and happay as they obviously are right now!!
Ooooo! All the kitties look gorgeous and healthy. It looks like McKenzie like to strike a pose for the camera. :LOL: Keep the pictures coming as they get bigger.
In the last picture, it looks to me that she is pretty content, because she's making what I call kitty paw. Ivo doesn't knead when she's relaxed/happy, she spreads her toes wide on her front left foot.
They are all gorgeous. I wish I had the room to take in more kitties!
Last night, one of her babies, the grey striped tabby passed over to the Bridge. She went nuts after it happened and we removed him she kept digging at the blankets looking for him. I just checked on her and she has settled down with the other two babies.
That the two remaining kittens are doing well. I was afraid there might be something wrong with the silver tabby (as yet unnamed) because it couldn't seem to nurse, but when mom let me, I picked Silver up and found a bit of blanket fuzz in the mouth, so once that was removed a teat was found for it right away. McKenzie cried last night off an on, I am sure looking for McGregor, but she has settled down today and is being the good mom that she is. I told her, it is about time to find a new spot as her kittens are getting bigger and she is having a hard time laying down without sitting on one of them! McArthur the tuxedo kitty has a white dot of color on his nose- almost right in the center of it! lol
I'm so sorry to hear about the poor kitty. At least they are doing better now. How about McKaylah for the girl kitty? I also like McKinley. Let us know what you decide upon.
We decided on McKinley. Just got back from the vets and the family is good to go! No problems except for Mckenzie needs an attitude adjustment-she does not like veterinarians it appears! LOL
