Kittens Born Today ... come and see!!!

After only four days with me, my foster PG mom delivered four precious babies! She started at 2:25pm CST and delivered approx every 30 minutes ending at 4:00pm.

I watched each one being born and took pictures. Everyone seems to be doing just great!

Enjoy!

First born .... patched torti ... so female?

Oh Kim - I've come over all unecessary!! Aren't they such tiny cutie-pies? Bit like Lut it's YEARS since I've seen kittens being born and these tiny babies brought memories flooding back. I hope those four newbies are doing well and she's proving to be a good Mummy to them. Following on what everyone else has said - weekly photos would be marvellous! :D

That reminded me how Juni was born. They are so cute when they are so small.
I promise to post her first pictures for her birthday (May 5 - she'll be three yo)

We can have a birthday party together :)
Naomi had only Juni, Naomy herself was a very small kitty. I will let you keep your breath guys to see the pictures, I save them for the bd occasion :p
Naomi was a very good mother, but Juni's big love was Daddy (Vasea). They were grooming each other, playing together. Basically, Vasea thaught her everything a kitty should know.
It was such a great experience for all of us and that's why Juni is not spayed, she will have one day her own kittens (one litter only).

What Beautiful Little miracles from the lords hands. When we had kittens at home , my Mother used to suppliment thier diet with Meat Formulas of Gerbers baby food and Scotch Broth , I like the tortie as the late Pouncer , my first Cat was a Terrific tortie! God Bless and Keep You All!

Awww, they are so cute! I think it will be so neat to have pictures of these babies from the very beginning. And it will be neat to have the pictures of when they start eating in a big pile with that one bright spot of orange amongst all the blackness. :D Wasn't it Ritzy that was the only black one amongst a pile of orangies?

And I hate to be demanding, but at this point, 'cause they are so little and change so much everyday, would daily pictures be too much to ask?...... ;) :o :)

Thanks so much for taking these pics. I've seen newborn puppies, but never kitties, so this is a first for me. And it's wonderful that you thought of us here at PT while there were much more important things going on. :)

Absolutely beautiful! I've never seen a newborn kitty until these photos. Thank you so much for fostering a homeless mom. I'm sure all these gorgous babes will find homes in no time.
I'm partial to the blackies, remind me of my boys.:)

Yes, Ritzy was the "lone inky blob" in her litter :) Oh, and she was technically the "runt" - obviously overcame that handicap :):)

The kittens are just beautiful! Can't wait to see new pics as they "fluff out"

Ok, so I knew she was the lone black one, and I remembered seeing an orangie.....;) :D

And it's funny how sometimes the runt ends up being...welll....rather big. ;) :D I've seen that at least twice before and it's an interesting phenomenon. :)

yes there were six....it's hard to imagine Ritz every being that tiny...all of them were adopted out...the little grey one that is "under" the momma's front leg is Ritzy's brother Ziggy.....similar to Ritzy's marking, only with a grey tuxedo :) ..somewhere I have a picture of him from his present owner...

Given that I was not the original human mommy, I feel very fortunate to have these baby pictures :)
