Kitten in 3 weeks or less

[RP Cathouse]

Well, today I cleaned and rearranged my sewing room. It is now the boys room. I moved the boys in there so I can have the kitten room again since a litter of kittens coming. So, Tuesday I will clean the room wash the carpet. The boys made a mess, no spraying but they are messy. Ele' is a brown and white classic tabby, she carries solids and Desi (the Dad) is a solid red. So we can have tortie, patches, with or without white. boys will be red, black, or brown with or without white. Ele' is a big girl weighs just under 14 pounds and Desi is about 18 pounds. I will keep you posted and with pictures if you like. And of course pictures of the kittens.

[CatDad]

Good luck with the new kittiens.:)

I, for one, would love to see new kittiens. They are just so cute and make my heart melt.;)

Thanks for the picture of Ele' she is one beatiful lady.:D

[sirrahved]

Ooooh *grins* new babies! I can't wait to see pics! My family hasn't had new kittens in nine years. I can't wait!!!

[RP Cathouse]

Well, finished shampooing the carpet and cleaning the room. Tomorrow, Thursday I will put Ele' in there to get use to the room and how it is arranged and also put her favorite kitten box in there for her with fleece and Chux pads. She will start back on kitten food with Vitamins added. She looks good and getting big. The bull's eye tabby marking is really clear and looks like a ring on her sides. Well that is it for now. I am getting excited. My friend cat just had 7 kittens and 5 are torties and one a patch and the 7th she doesn't know what it is yet. Talk about your tortie-tude she will have plenty to go around.

Stella

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

She's so beautiful! Can't wait for pics of the kittens. :D

[CatDad]

One more time. New kittens picture!! WooHoo!!!

:D

I am glad to hear that all is going well.

[smokey the elder]

Any kittens yet?

[RP Cathouse]

Kittens should be here in about 2 weeks or so. Today I put Ele1 in the kitten room and she was checking it out. Sniffing and smelling the entire room. Checking out the boxes I set up. And the cages I made ready. She made sure the litter boxes worked, the water was fresh and the dry food tasted good. She tested the cat beds in there also. She was very content with the room and laid down and took a nap.

Stella

[CatDad]

Oh Boy!! Only two more weeks.:)

I am glad to hear that approves of all the work that you have done.:)

[rpcathouse]

Well, in the middle of the night when I had a bad cold Ele's decided to have her kittens. I was sleeping right there and heard nothing at all till the next morning when I woke up. There she was with 6 kittens. Boy I was surprised!! The largest weighed 4.6 oz. and the smallest was 3.4 oz. All are doing fine and so is Ele'. There is a patch girl, Tortie girl, Black and white, girl, a brown and low white boy, and 2 brown tabbies no white.
They were born on Dec. 22, 2003.
Here is the first family Picture.

Proud Granny Stella

[catcrazylady]

AWWWWWWWWWWWE!!! They are adorable!!! I think you are going to have some beautiful babies there!! Ele' just wanted to surprise you with new babies in the morning. She new you weren't well and needed your rest. I hope you are feeling better now so you can njoy your holidays!! Looking forward to lots more pictures and updates on these adorable babies!!!

!!!MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MY HOME TO YOURS!!!

[CatDad]

How cool, Christmas kitties.:D

They all look just great, Ele' looks a little peturbed. She did just have 6 kittens so I guess she is allowed.:)

Well, it sounds like all went well with the birth, and that eveyone is doing fine.:)

More news and pics when you get a chance.:)

[RedHedd]

AWW!! What a wonderful Christmas gift! Little kitty elves all wrapped up in fur! :D Mama looks tired but happy. Congratulations on your new family!

[Desert Arabian]

AWWW! Congrats! Give the mommy tons of kisses for me!!

[smokey the elder]

I don't know. Ele' looks very pleased with herself. Welcome, little Solstice kittens!

[rpcathouse]

Well, the furbabies are 9 days old and their weight runs from 6.2 ounces to 8.2 ounces. So they are doing good. One has started to open his eyes. They pull themselves around looking for Mom when she is eating. Ele` doesn't mind me holding them. Here is a picture of one of the boys.

Stella

[CatDad]

I missed this one.:eek:

That picture is just so great.:)

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Awwww....just look at that little mug! What a cutie....but then again, he's only 9 days old so I would expect him to be a cutie. ;) :D

Thanks for the pic. Please keep them coming as, in my book, there is nothing sweeter than Maine Coone kittens. :D

[rpcathouse]

Today all the kittens eyes are open and they are scooching around on their tummies. What a riot to watch them. The biggest kitten weighs 10.4 ounces and the smallest is 8.3 ounces. A very good weight for all.

Stella

[rpcathouse]

Ok now they are 3 weeks old. Their wight is 16.2 ounces to 12.3. ounced. They all hiss and meow. 3 are purring and they are learning to climb on the bumper pad and crawl around the area. Ele` even is away from them for at least 1/2 hour a couple times a day. They are trying to play but end up napping. What great fun to watch them. They are even washing themselves. Well, it is a good attempt at it.


Stella

PS I have 3 sold as of today! But they will not be ready to leave until they are 12 - 16 weeks

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Is that a little tuxie I see? Awww....

What an adorable pile of kittens. I do believe we need more pictures of them. Which three have sold? I'm just curious as to which color choices the people are more interested in.

Thanks for the pics and the uppydate. :D

[rpcathouse]

Yes that is a little tuxie, he is the largest kitten weighing in over a pound and yes he is sold. This morning I watched as he was washing his paws.

Stella

[rpcathouse]

The patched girl is sold she likes to pose for the camera.

[rpcathouse]

lets try a new picture of her

[rpcathouse]

And the brown and white boy is spoken for.

[rpcathouse]

But with each litter people want different colors. You just never know. I have people who want reds, silvers, smoke, and cameo.
But not this time. Could have had red males but not a one. This is a cool brown male no white

[rpcathouse]

This is the other Brown male with no white.

[rpcathouse]

This is the other Brown male with no white.

[rpcathouse]

last one is my favorite the tortie

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

They are all so adorable! 'Course, all kittens this age are totally adorable to me. The tuxie does look like a big boy, and he also looks like he's the most "mature." Not sure if that's the right word or not, but I think you might know what I mean.

Thanks for the pics and the descriptions. :D

[catcrazylady]

What adorable, precious, cute babies!! I'm in love with them all!! I think that the little tortie is going to be very interesting looking. Her nose looks like it is going to have different colors on it. At least it looks like that from the side in the pic.
They are BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait for more pics of this adorable crew!!

[CatDad]

I should learn to check this thread more often.:)

Great pics, I am suffereing form cuteness overload.

Looking forward to more pics when you get time.:)

[rpcathouse]

Well they are 4 weeks old and doing great! They are wrestling, drinking water and eating the clay litter, (every litter that I have had here has done that.) They look like little cats. And alot of fun to watch. This is the patched girl and her name is Blaze. She has a new mommy waiting for her. She will be one very spoiled and loved kitten.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Awww...she is simply adorable! I think they are at their most cutest right now. Between 4 & 6 weeks of age. They are still such tiny babies, but like you say, they are starting to take on some of their adult characteristics, and they are such little goofballs at this age! Oh how I want an itty bitty kitty....

:D

[rpcathouse]

They are alot of fun to watch. And they now have their own pursonalities. One brown tabby boy is very laid back you can holdhim upside down and he doesn't care at all. He will just keep on purring. His brother the other brown tabby is the opposite of him. He purrs but don't turn him upside down. Here is the laid back guy.

Stella

[weniki30]

I agree with everyone else. They are adorable. And, mom does look a bit unhappy about being photographed at that point in time. Are there any new pics?

[rpcathouse]

Ele` is never happy when I have the camera out. But the kittens don't seem to mind at all. The kittens have escape their enclosure and are on the run. One is eating wet food and the others do drink water. They will be 5 weeks old and you should see them play. But of course they still go running to Mom when she calls them. They also come running when I walk in the room and say "Where are my babies" they come running and meowing in their tiny voices. This kitten's name is Porter, his new daddy will be visiting him in a couple of weeks.

However, thanks for the ones that you have posted.:D

I agree, what an adorable little boy! Looking so grown up and sophisticated as he sits there. I can tell this little guy is definitely going to make his daddy proud. :D

[rpcathouse]

Today I was laying on the floor watching the kittens play, my have they come a long way in 5 weeks. We have down 4 extra small litter boxes that I have to clean 2 X a day. And refilling the water bowl morn and night. And then the dry food and litter that is all over the floor. What a mess!!! They run in the water. in the litter and the dry food spreading it all over. But what great fun. Last week I let in Smokey Jo who is due a litter in a couple of weeks. She is doing great with the kittens. She cleans and sleeps with them. She is going to be a wonderful Mom.

[rpcathouse]

that was a bad picture trying again

[rpcathouse]

another

[rpcathouse]

This is Smokey Jo.

[CatDad]

I was hoping that I would find more pictures.:)

They are all so cute, I'm glad that I am not the one that have to clean up after them though. I just get to look at all the cute picture.:D

The Paws on the kitty on there back are huge.:eek:

Thanks for all the pictures.

We still need to teach you how to put pictures directly into the post.*hint, hint*:D

I know you are busy.;)

[rpcathouse]

Yes, Catdad you are right I have to learn everytime I go up on the Image Station, it was down or something. Ok now tell me if I can upload all the pictures from my digital camera. I have off the week and can play for awhile.

Yes the kittens are getting very big all using the litter boxes, I have 4 extra set up, so you can imagin the litter and the mess. I bought them a Drinkwell water fountian at the show last weekend. I really love them. That makes 5 that I have for the cats now. Well have to finish cleaning now. I will play later.

Stella

[CatDad]

Stella I sent you a PM.

I was just kidding.:D

Please don't stop posting pictures of the babies, in anyway you want.

Really, as I have said before, I am not above begging.:eek:;)

[rpcathouse]

Catdad I will keek sending pictures. LOL I am not that good at posting pictures. I have to work on it for a while. I am getting better at putting them in the Image station. so that is a big step now to get them here. So here is a pic. of the pa

[CatDad]

They are so cute.:D

I just want to get down on the floor and cuddle with them.:)

[RedHedd]

OMG! CatDad move over! I'm gettin' right down there too! CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

[rpcathouse]

Today was the first time the kittens had company. One of the new parents came to visit. I took them up the the kitten room they sat on the floor and let the kittens come check them out and the Mom also. After that I left them to play and hold the kittens. They were up there for over an hour. They came down you could see the love for that kitten in their eyes. She is now named Blaze. She is a brown patch tabby. They left a blanket with her so when she is ready to go home it will smell like all the safe and secure things she know. I love feeling I get when I see that look in a new Mom or Dad's eyes. I will miss the kitten when she leaves but I know deep in my heart she will have the best home, with lots of love. She will go to her new home between 12 and 16 weeks of age.
Here she is R. P. Cathouse's Blaze

Stella

[CatDad]

She is so cute.:D

Then name is good, I am sure it will fit her while she is a kitten.:)

[rpcathouse]

Then last night Eric came to visit his little kitten. His kitten is a black and white male and he named him Porter. Porter is the largest kitten. And seeing Eric at 6' 4" big built young man hold that tiny kitten was wonderful the gentleness to him. He sat on the floor snuggling the kitten. So I left them there to play and snuggle. When he came down he was telling me that the kitten reached up with its tiny paw and patted his face. The look on Eric's face was priceless. When he left I knew he was right for the kitten and the kitten was right for him. So Eric left a very proud Daddy of Porter.

Here is Porter

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Awww....that must have been so sweet. But Porter is such a little doll that it would be hard for anyone not to melt - especially if he put his paw up on their face. :D

[smokey the elder]

Never underestimate the power of a kitten paw!:D

[CatDad]

Porter is a great looking guy.:D

I agree never underestimate what a kiiten can do.

All bow to the power of the Kitten Paw.;):D

[rpcathouse]

Today is Saturday, the 3rd set of parents just left after spending about 90 minutes with the kittens. They brought a small bear and towel to keep with Baylee till it is time he goes home. The kittens just pounce and swatted at the bear. And the towel is so that when they go home they will have the smell of their family with them. Terry and Mike took video and pictures of the kittens and mom. And Desi the dad also. They laid on the floor and sat on the floor watching and playing with the kittens and Ele`. They are very excited and can't wait to bring Baylee home. Only 5- 6 weeks more. Baylee is the Brown Classic with white. A very sweet boy.

Stella
This is Baylee

[Steffi N]

Would you believe this is the first time I have read this thread all the way through. I am melting from an overload of kitten cuteness. Blaze, Porter, and Bayley have surely settled right in their new owners' hearts and will I hope they be very happy in their new homes.

Thank you for sharing this adventure, Stella.

[rpcathouse]

What beautiful Bi-Colors you have! They are wonderful and high white. Thank you for your kind words. I know they will be happy in their new homes. I have talked and talked to the new owners and know they will make great parents. Then when you see them together it justs melts my heart. Well have 2 more sets of people coming today. So better empty the boxes here.

Stella

[RedHedd]

I LOVE all the little kitten pics! One thing that happens when the attachments are downloading, for whatever reason the pictures are really huge while they're downloading - so I get a whole screen-full of kitten face or tiny paws in up-close and personal detail! It's SO cute and sweet and my two are wondering why I'm "aw-ing" at the screen ..... now I have to go clean my monitor! :rolleyes: :D They pop down to their real size once the pic is all downloaded. :p

More pics please! ;)

[rpcathouse]

Hey Catdad how did I do?!!

Stellahttp://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid103/p9902f06d0192171a4b8c5df0fe8c6d94/f99d0b53.jpg

[rpcathouse]

And this one?http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid103/p1ed68df1b14a8d8407448fff9dedf3e2/f99d0b54.jpg

[rpcathouse]

Ok Catdad How do I get the pictures larger now. I am ready for lesson # 2. LOL

Stella

[CatDad]

They are just too cute.:D

Are these the ones from the first litter?

[rpcathouse]

Yes they are. Here are the two that are still available. A tortie and a brown classic male. They are alot of fun right now. Running and playaing and now they will play with your fingers, feather toy that you wave around and interact with you. Wll so much for pictures the Station is down right now. The kittens are 8 weeks old. And the new litter is going on 2 weeks old. what a difference.

Stella

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

OMG Stella! How can you stand such adorableness!!??? (is that even a word?) :D

They are just too cute! And I bet they're a lot of fun at this age. Even though these two are the only ones available, you actually still have all of them, right? Didn't you say they go "home" at 10-12 weeks?

And the two week old ones must be starting to move around more now too. Oh if I could just spend some time in your "kitten room." :D

[rpcathouse]

The older ones leave about 12-16 weeks depending on everyones work schedule. With me working retail at a major department store and being the manager of the children's dept. I have off 2 days a week and they may not be weekends, but everything usually works out. Sunday I am having the kittens pictures taken for Cats USA magazine. For the Breeder Gallery. This should be fun with 6 kittens. They think they are going to be tiny kittens and not moving much. Boy are they in for a surprise!

And the younger litter now has their eyes open and can hiss. Their first sounds. And a couple are sitting up now. They will be 2 weeks Saturday. One little guy is not gaining weight like I would like him to and he will not take a bottle so I am watching him closely. One forgets how frail and delicate a newborn is. Because by 4 weeks they are running around and trying to eat. But this little guy is a fighter and he is call Mighty Mouse. You should hear him hiss! And he does nurse. So I will keep trying to feed him and pray that the best thing for him is staying here and not going to visit Mudge and Chinni at the bridge.

Thanks for listening.
Stella

[CatDad]

Any news on Mighty Mouse?

Just wondering.

[rpcathouse]

YEs little Might Mouse is doing everything his brother and sisters are. He is a little power house. They are sitting up and walking around (falling over some just don't have it down yet) and hissing. The other kittens have walked into their cage and sniffed and lick them and walked out again. So right now every one is happy..

Stella

[rpcathouse]

Well, last night the kittens got their second rounds of vaccines. Their are almost ready to leave. In three weeks they get their final round of shots and can go home. What a sad day that will be. They have grown from looking like a big rat to fluffy big kittens. All of them with different pursonalities. They are all going to the vet for a well furbaby check up with Mom Ele`. So they will have a certificate of health to leave with. Lots of thing to do between now and then. Food list, what if list, phone numbers, nail clippings, a bath before they go, copies of the pedigrees and a package of toys, food and a CD with all the furbaby picutures on them. Well going to go and play for a while.

Stella

[CatDad]

Wow, have you got alot to do in the next couple of weeks.:eek:

Thanks for the picture though they are adorable.:)

[rpcathouse]

It will be sad to see them go that is for sure. What fun they have been. Here they are posing for the camera. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid105/p4f6dca94e62e114705956f5153fd9d47/f97ad2b2.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid105/p412f07f675bf263c0af9d04cf315c69a/f97ad36c.jpg [IMG]http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid105/pc1aa5ea1ec604bb1eb1b42664ff6e934/f97ad2ae.jpg

[rpcathouse]

WONDERFUL PICTURE!

[smokey the elder]

[rpcathouse]

Well everyone last night the last one got a new family! The Tortie girl is going to a wonderful couple who live in Pa. The kittens will leave the weekend of March 27 and 28. I will be sad to see them go but I know they are going to have a wonderful new life with families that will love them. And spoil them rotten. They all have names now and they are
The Brown and white male is Baylee
The Black and white male is Porter
The Brown male #1 is Rascal
The Brown male #2 is D. J.
The Brown Patched is Blaze
The Tortie is Misty Bella Misha

This has been a fun litter and I love watching them grow into beautifu kittens and hope to see pictures as they grow into adulthood. I will update still as they get ready to go.

Stella

As for holding still for photo, I took them to the mall to a photo studio and they still ran all over it took over an hour to take pictures. What a riot that was. Everyone there was laughing and having a great time trying to catch and watching the kittens.

[IttyBittyKitty]

Soooo many adorable pictures!!!!!!!

[rpcathouse]

This Saturday I will say goodbye to 2 of the kittens!:( Baylee the brown and white male and Misty Bella Misha the tortie. They are going to their new homes. Baylee is going to a couple who's children are grown. And live in So. Maryland. Misty Bella Misha is going to a couple who have boys 7 and 11 years old. She will be great with the boys she is out going and loves to play. I will miss them. The other 4 will leave next weekend but more on that later. I have talked and talked and e-mailed both new families and really like the new parents. I have gotten together they things to take with them. They are fleece that has the smell of Mom and siblings, food samples, toys, folder with vet health certificate, pedigree, pictures, CD with all pictures on it, shot record, and Mom's and Dad's health certificates. And anything else I can remember later to send with them. Oh, instructions and helpful hints to help the new baby to adapt to their new home. They are spoiled rotten now, so they are ready to go. Ele has done her job and so have I. Just one more nail clipping and that should be it.


http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid108/p1eb8386114140c44f14426ea8e9dac4e/f94d516d.jpg

So here they are in their best behavior minding their Ps and Qs all at the same time. I will miss the two of them but still have 4 for another week.

Stella
