are those Kittens almost as big as thier Mother?

it is an optical illusion caused by the angle the photo was taken at. But, the kittens are growing and mom is a very small cat. Soon they will be the same size.

Here are pictures of the brothers playing.

Oh my goodness! Lovely pictures! I was thinking the same thing Gary was. I think that is SO sweet though, that she lets them nurse still.

Cute kitties and great pictures, Jen! But I'm kind of surprised that mommycat still lets them nurse. I thought babies were weaned around 8 weeks. Does this happen a lot? Never heard of it before.

Depends on the mom cat. Some will start kicking their babies away at 6 weeks of age (unfortunately, some even earlier ). But some just adore their babies, like Priscilla.

The babies do look as big as their mommy. Great pictures and thank you for saving another life!
