Topaz and kittens

[smokey the elder]

Here are some more pictures of the kittens that were born the day before Easter. They don't have names yet since they haven't told me what they are. They are 5 weeks old and starting to eat solids, especially the dark orange one.

Here's a picture of the sleepy Orange Borg Collective.

The bright orange one says, "I'm a BIG cat now!"

AWWWWWWWW

What adorable fluffballs. Their mommy looks like a sweetie. Looking at them, I think their names are Peach, Tangerine, Cashew, and Tulip, but I don't know which is which. I am glad they are growing well and are healthy.

Those pictures are just too cute! I really want one of those kittens. They get big so fast though.

ORANGE CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!! I'm in love with all of them. Thanks for sharing their pictures with us.

I like those names. I'm just stuck for names that haven't been recycled over and over. I stink at sexing kittens so I want to pick "gender neutral" names.

Topaz was being a grade A MUSH last night!

What a gorgeous kitty family! I'd love to see the all beige one named "Chickpea"! One easy way to sex kittens is look under the tail (duh) and if there's two openings close to each other that look like a dot-dash under it's a girl. Males have a longer distance between openings, and it's more dot-dot with them. I think being five weeks they'd be easy to tell by now. I have trouble with longhairs sometimes. Then ya really have to dig around down there!

OMG I'm in Orangie heaven!!

What beautiful babies and I just love the name suggestions, espcially Chickpea.

Jan: "Dig around down there" Oh the indignity of it all!!

I think those names were perfect. I especially love Peaches and Chickpea.. Those lighter ones are really dahlin!

What a beautiful family. Since Topaz is a stone/gem, how about naming them all after gems? Gonna need some help here.

Topaz, Amber, Citrine (all yellow/orange) colors
Sapphire (who knew they came in yellow/orange?)

or orangie fruits and vegetables?

Orange, Peach, Pumpkin, Apricot, Tangerine, Citrus

I'm sure they'll tell you their names soon.

Here's some more neutral orange names...Pekoe (Orange Pekoe tea), Tidbit (after those little tablet shaped crackers that I never see anymore) Dundee (orange marmalade) I know I've got plenty of name lists around, but can't find them now. Geesh..I need them too. Two of my little ones who'll be eight weeks tomorrow I named Monkey See (the girl) and Monkey Do (the boy)! My little black monkeys LOL! Jan

I thought of some more food-grade names: Cheetoh and Cheezit!

Don't forget those yummy Goldfish crackers!

They are all just adorable! You should surely be able to determine their sexes by now! Just look and see how much distance there is between the two tiny holes! If they are close together, it is a girl .... far apart, it is a boy whose furballs just haven't grown in yet!!!
