Way to go Pokey 5 babies... How is cloe..

 

[wookie130]

Okay. I'm pretty good at this, usually. But, I've been wrong before in sexing kittens, so here it goes:

Runts- girl
Dots- boy
Spot- boy
Lazy kitten- ??????????????? LOL
Kiss- boy
Precious- girl
Blue Twin #2- boy

So, I'm thinking there are 2 females, 1 unknown, and 4 males. Precious is a cutie-pie!!! Actually, they all are...I'm impartial to Runts too. The girlie kittens are cute, and well, girlie!!!! Keep a male though...once they're neutered, they become your BEST FRIENDS!!!! Neutered males are so snuggly and lovey.

 

[momof3rugratz]

My mom was here today and she is in total love but said if I plan to keep them it is ok I deserve them

She said she will even still help with the spay/neuter

I am not to sure... Everyone talks about the orange in cats.. What does it mean, I know Lazy has orange streaks....Very light

 

[ryanjay]

Orange is often said to be linked to a fiery temperment...which calicos and tortis(female orange cats do happen but more common in males and calicos/torti is sex linked and VERY often female or a sterile male) I don't see much in my orange boys but my calicos/tortis are definatley the moody at times cats more often then my others...A side note I also notice my tortis tend to be more mothering then my other females(all spayed).

[momof3rugratz]

I plan to keep a male and yes 100% 4 sure spay him lol...

 

[ryanjay]

LOL LOL WHY you dont want to do this all again

you know I'm kidding

RJ

 

[momof3rugratz]

Because if you have three colors in a kitty- like brown, orange and white, or orange and any color besides white, you almost for sure have a girl on your hands.. Very very rare for a male to be a calico or tortie- and if you do he is probably sterile due to chromosome problem. However a totally orange or a orange and white cat can be either sex, though males are more common. When I was trying to rescue Cookie and Suzie, (long story from this fall) I could tell Suzie was a girl w/out checking because of her coloring. (Brown tabby with orange areas and an orange nose). I guessed Cookie was a boy, but wasn't completely sure until I had a little feel under there. They were a bit older than your kittens though, they were about 12 weeks.
So it kinda sounds like Lazy is girl then. So maybe you have three girls and four boys.

That is funny most orange or orange and white cats are boys as I have an orange girl and an orange and white girl. LOL

 

[momof3rugratz]

ok I think I got it maybe lol...

Junior post a picture on Orange babies here

 

[zak&rocky]

Well maybe I should amend that.. I think the actual ratio is like 75 % male.. I can think of a couple female orangies on this site, dawnofsierra's sierra, and beckiboo had a orange foster mom for awhile. I find cat genetics kind of interesting. For example, Rocky's mom was a dilute calico with a tux pattern.. so I know he carries the orange gene somewhere in there.. not that he can be a daddy now.

I do love girls but I am having a hard time with letting these ones go... I will get all fixed but my house was so empty..

 

[dusty's mom]

I missed the pregnancy and delivery of Skittles. Tried to read old threads, but I couldn't get them to come up. Do I understand that she actually delivered 13? Were the other 6 stillborn?

 

[momof3rugratz]

[babygirl32744]
