Time Flies...

...when you are having fun! I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted a blog, but we have a lot of fun happening here. The kittens are so funny some times. They basically play and sleep and eat ;-). But all three can be hilarious. We have 3 mom's and 15 kittens running our house right now - so it's always exciting around here. The mom's will lay down to nurse and pretty soon you can't see the mom any more it's just a pile of kittens - all the kittens think that they can nurse from any mother (and the mother's let them) so we have seen up to 9 kittens trying to nurse on one girl :-). It's hilarious - but don't feel sorry for the mom...she just gets up and walks off when too many come for a drink. The kittens are all eating solid food - so this milk drinking is more a comfort snack than anything else. The kittens favorite games are make the bed, sweep the floor, load the dishwasher, fold the laundry, and clean the litter box. All of which I get their help in - so it takes me 4 times as long ;-). They also like to sit on our laps whenever we are sitting down. My husband laid down for a nap this weekend and he had 6 kittens laying on him - he couldn't even get up when he was done :-). They also like to sleep with us - most of the time we have at least 6 kittens on our bed and sometimes more. They are very snuggly and sweet. I'm posting a picture I took yesterday of three kittens sleeping on their cat bed. Sometimes this bed will be holding almost all the kittens - I haven't been able to capture that picture yet :-).

Kitten Update

Wow! It's been over a week since I last posted - and a lot has happened. Nala and Bailey's kittens are growing up fast - and are more and more beautiful every day. We are very pleased with all the kittens in both litters. Nala has a couple kittens that have striking eye color, Hidden Rose and Vixen. It might not show up as well in the pictures - but they are electric blue! She also has one boy, Nobel, that is huge - he is almost as big as some of Emma's kittens and he is 3 weeks younger. And Cinnamon Spice is looking like she will be a perfectly marked Seal tortie mitted - and oh so floppy. Of course, they are all floppy and playful - and very cuddly. They also love to sleep with us at night. Bailey's kittens are a lot of fun. There are so many of them! One of her boys, Macintosh, has really deep blue eyes and is completely spineless (he's the one in the picture). He almost fell asleep flopped back in my hands today. Fuji, her other boy, is just as floppy - and purrs when you pick him up. Dapple - has the cuttest little nose...and will be a stunning tortie! And the other three girls (Aurora, Holly, and Lady Sweet), look so much like each other that I still can't always tell them apart. They love to cuddle up beside me and play with each other. And of course - I can't forget Emma's kittens. They are gorgeous and everything a Ragdoll should be. We are truly blessed to have so many wonderful kittens. We enjoy playing with them and holding them - and watching them grow more each day. They are truly a delight to have around!
