Thanks, I actualy have three cats, Emrys' sister Paint, and another cat, Finn..but that doesn't mean I still can't wanna keep one xD, but that'll be a decision to be made later once they've got personalities, and if I fall in love with one xD
cats CAN have up to 8 kittens or more, it's extrememly rare for them to have more than 6, and 6 is considered a large litter, the average is 2-4 kittens.
I've had a cat who had 7, and a friend of mine had a Maine coon mix who had 9, but two were tiny and died a few days after birth

6-8 is very common, 10-12 isn't unheard of either. Perhaps not the way you're breeding them, but in a controlled environment 6 is very normal.

Well, I figured I might as well, Here they are at 4 days and like 9 hours old, I sexed them again, and it actually looks like there are 3 girls and 3 boys, although the little tabby might actually be a girl as well.
Just because Ginger kittens are always pretty O3O
The girls, (torbie in the front, the smallest ginger tabby, and the gray tortie in the back) these are the for sure girls
EXTREMELY blurry pic of the boys (two deffinate, i can actually see where their bits will be) and one maybe (the tabby) who might actually be a girl

They are soooo cute!! I would handle them as much as the mom would allow as to socialize them. Mom will get agitated if you take them away from her for too long, so pay attention to the momma.
Just wanted to say:
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
Squee! Such beautiful babies!!!!

Here the kittens are today at (almost) 10 days old.
I cannot believe how different they look from just 10 (almost xD) days ago
everyone's eyes are open too!
I also cannot get over much much different the gray tortie looks compared to her brothers and sisters, her face is wider and her muzzle is shorter, makes me wonder if there was a possible third daddy in the mix

These aren't the worlds best pictures (really want another camera) and I was gonna wait until tomorrow, but I got bored and now that the kittens are paying more attention to their surroundings I'm going to start handling them a little every day.
plus I decided I'd introduce everybody by name!, since I hate not naming things lol, I decided to go with names from the Avatar the last airbender and Avatar the Legend of Korra cartoon tv series.
these are just "baby" names, something to call them until they go to their new homes
The brown torbie is Azula
The other brown torbie is Katara
The gray tortie is Korra
the ginger tabby girl is Momo
and the two ginger tabby boys are Sokka and Bolin
they are starting to sit up and starting to learn how to walk <3 soon they'll be playing and just, awww! I love these little guys to death u_u
