    Betty and Jeany, you are both gorgeous and have such lovely names!

    Betty I knew of course that it was your name too- but nobody can say you're a redhead .
    But Betty seems to be a very sweet cat- so here's the connection.

    My late mother's name was Elizabeth, but she was called Betty. We are of German descent, also. My maternal grandparents were from Germany. The only thing ruining this sentimental picture is that my mother did not like cats. Too bad, Mom, you've got a namesake now and she's a beautiful kitty girl!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    So you may have heard that I was not allowed to read since Tuesday because of cataract surgery. And Tuesday night it happened: Betty gave birth to 4 lovely stripeys.
    I think it is very likely that daddy was a tabby with dominant genes because the first day you just couldn't tell any difference between the little mice.
    Here is proud Betty with the 1 day old kittens.



    As I was staying home I had to do the babysitting. Tough job but someone has to do it
    The second day we had the vet coming in because what we had not seen in the kitty pile was that there was one placenta stuck in between. The (in the literary sense) bloody stuff had glued the kittens together and we could not see whose placenta it really was and what umbilical cord needed cutting. So we were afraid we would hurt them. As soon as the vet had separated them, cut the last umbilical cord they could arrange themselves much better.

    Here are the 2 day old mousies:





    Betty is a wonderful mom and purrs and purrs. She lets you hold them and is absolutely relaxed with us. When you pick one of the babies up she couldn't care less- but the babies meeow like tiny birdies.

    Here they are at 3 days old:


    Sorry that the picture isn't sharp- I do not want to torment them with too many pictures. I saw them today and must say they begin to look a little bit different to me.
    I hope to have some more pics on Monday- then I'm in for the other eye and cannot read again for some days.
    But I can babysit the kittens- I think that is wonderful timing

    Yay!!! What sweeties! Betty looks so happy. They look like little Torbies to me, though it can be hard to tell until they develop some more.

    I'm glad you'll have some kittens to preoccupy you when you can't read.

    Give Betty some love from me when you have the time, please.

    Betty just looks SO happy and proud! I love her happy feet while the mice are nursing.

    Interesting you say "mice" - of course they are that tiny - but in my family growing up even adults were called mice! "Time to feed the mice."

    Glad the vet got them separated safely. They look like they will thrive!

    Congrats, Betty and Barbara!
