Introduction

This site is dedicated to my experience as a foster care provider for a previously stray pregnant cat. She had her babies on September ninth and the babies are doing just fine. Most are already promised for adoption. You can check the status of the kittens here.

    They’re all doing great. Most of them have their eyes open or opening. It’s interesting how much some have grown over the others.

    I’ve suspected this for awhile, but the size and eye opening situation are pretty clear. This cat had sex twice in the same heat that produced these babies. The white ones are all much larger than the others, and they all opened their eyes days earlier than the others. Now that might not mean anything, but these cats are clearly not from the same pop. At least that’s my opinion.

    Here’s a great picture of Lucky and his blue eyes (all kittens have blue eyes when born so it doesn’t really mean anything)

    Here’s a couple more, but as you can see it’s nearly impossible to get them to face the camera

    And here’s a picture of mom looking stoned. it is not possible to catch a good picture of this cat with a flash. she ALWAYS manages to close her eyes. I tried 9 times this time and they all were the same.

    Weekend Update

    Filed under: The Fosters;

    Things are rolling right along. The kittens are starting to sprout and mom is getting tired of them! So it’s normal!

    4 of the kittens have their eyes opening at some level. Only one are fully open. The others are getting there though. They look evil when they first open because they aren’t really developed and you can tell they can’t make much out.

    Here’s a pic from a few minutes ago. Time to change the t-shirts again :). Look at the one at the top. lol he can’t be happy there.

    Tinker says hi

    Filed under: My Cats;

    She said it’s almost the weekend and it’s been too long since I focused a post on her. So here she is, like a good little girl, sitting next to daddy on his desk, on the blanket he put there for her.

    This is the first kitten to start opening his eyes (yes a boy. See how great boys are?).

    I had to take two. Accidentally forgot the flash was on the first one and nearly blinded him :(

    He’s awful happy to see you!
