We have babies!!! New baby pics #466

For her 10 day bd, I took some new baby pics. The little one is growing fat and sassy. Sorry about the quality of these but I was trying to take the pictures and hold the heavy plastic flap on the dog house open while avoiding the claws of momma kat who was perched on top of the Dog house trying to hook her claws in my head or behind, whichever she could grab.

The first pic, the baby is showing off her little white left pawsie.

The dog house has wood shavings in it. I can't take the blanket out to shake it off unless I can get someone to keep momma kat busy for a while.

Would it help to greet momma cat with some treats or something, so she knows you are there to see her too?

Last year, rcgirlca had a foster who was pregnant...poor mama cat was only 7 months old. She had 5 or 6 kittens...and they discovered too late that she wasn't producing milk. All but one died. It was heartwrenching.

The one that survived got ALL the milk and was bigger than his mom at 9 months of age.

They both went to a wonderful home.

This little girl is going to be a big one too, I think! Glad to hear she is fat and healthy at 10 days.

Not to mention incredibly cute!

Oh it has been so sad reading through this thread, but then we see this dear little girl, who looks adorable, and is thriving well, i sure hope she is protected and can continue to thrive and you can socialize her soon and she will become one of your family,any chance of getting momma spayed? i know this is a stressful time for you watching this all going on, and i hope with all my heart baby girl and momma continue to do well, and that they are safe and well, they are lucky they have you to keep an eye on them.

It's sad that only one kitten is left

but she sure looks fat and healthy.

Hopefully she'll continue to thrive and you'll be able to adopt her.

Will you be able to get the mother cat spayed so she won't have any more litters?

I hope the last baby makes it. She's so cute. I'm sorry to hear about the third one, hopefully things work out. My prays are coming for this little one.

Big prayers for momma kitty and baby.

Yep, our Baby has her eyes open now. Well, at least one.

I only saw one open this morning but it was sort of dark in the dog house and her head was turned slightly away from me. She also has a black mask around her eyes like a raccoon making it harder to see her eyes. Won't be long and she will be venturing around. Then I'll really worry. She has a whole neighborhood to get lost in plus a busy street out front. Hopefully momma kat will keep her away from that.

Momma Kat is making progress too. I have been sitting outside in the evenings and early mornings with her. Last night we played with a long weed. It's so fun to watch her play. Poor kat probably never had a toy to play with.

She is getting better about not getting her claws in me too. When she starts too, I just pull my hand back and say "no claws". Then pet her. She likes being petted. I'm thinking her family must have hit her. The first time I pulled my hand back and said NO! she dropped like she had been shot.

Her hair is looking lots better and the vitamins she has been getting must be working. She has been playing in the mowed grass and seems to be really settling down. I'm hoping to get her spayed after the baby is weened.

Prayers and crossed fingers still greatly appreciated.
