New Babies!!

**heinz57_79** · 04-23-2004, 12:20 AM

Heya everyone! Well, Katie finally decided that she was tired of carrying around 400 lbs worth of kitten, and dropped them around 3am today. Our family is now +4, which makes a grand total of 7! And we couldn't be happier!

Katie had 5 kittens, one was stillborn, so we're left with 4... A calico, an orange tabby, a white one with no tail and another white one. We'll see what kinda colours the white ones develop in a few weeks. But for now.... Here's the brood!

Are you keeping them all?

THEY ARE SO ADORABLE and one of them reminds me sooooooooo much of Skylar at that age. I can't wait to see them as they grow!!

AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

Such itty bitties!!!

Have you thought of names yet? What is your sex ratio? We know at least one is female with your baby calico...

They are sooooooooo sweet! Congrats!

Awwwwwwww!!! They're so cuuuuuuutttttteeee. I'm looking forward to watching them grow up.

I'm also a big orangie fan.

We are keeping all of them.

Neither of us have the heart to give them up... No.. Instead, we're going to do the easy thing and buy a bigger house. hehehe As for sexes... no clue.. I hate sexing cats and I'm really bad at it. I think the one with no tail is probably a male. And most orange tabbies are males so...... As for names, no clue! I'll take any suggestions!

OMG!!!! How adorable!!!! I can't wait to watch them grow up! It will be so cool to see them from day one and watch them change and grow. I'm so glad your keeping them!!
Keep the pictures coming! That little cailco is going to be very interesting looking. I think they all will be gorgeous!

I know, is there such a thing as an ugly baby kitten? NO!

OMG! They are absolutelt precious!!!! I LOVE the calico kitty! I love that you're keeping all of the kittens too

Once again, on PT, I've fallen in love

**catmandu** · 04-23-2004, 09:10 AM

I love the one Kitten , with the dark markingsunder her eyes. And a Manx Kitten , that will be interesting!

**RedHedd** · 04-23-2004, 11:26 AM

Ooh! They are ALL so cute! I love that the calico's markings are kinda dilute right now. I know she'll grow into her colors! All these kittens on PT are making me kitten-hungry!

**heinz57_79** · 04-23-2004, 01:34 PM

Thanks everyone! I'll have to admit, I've never been around kittens this little before. I feel like an anxious mom... I keep checking on them to make sure they're still breathing. hehehe Imagine the kind of paranoid mom I'll be when I actually have a baby!

I'm gonna get some more pics up in a few days.

Which reminds me.... anyone know how long it takes for kittens to open their eyes? About a week or so? And this may sound silly, but does anyone know any good tips on sexing cats? It's SO much easier with dogs..
