Cheya kitten update

Cheya's kittens are doing really well - and we are already seeing color coming in on their ears. They are very cute and every time I go to sneak a peak at them they are laying in the cutest little poses. We think there are 2 girls and 4 boys - but we are waiting a little longer to say for sure. Cheya chose the birthing room under the television - and it's a great little cave area. It's hard to get pictures, though - because it's pretty dark. Especially when it's cloudy and snowing! It's fun to get snow - but I'm ready for spring to come and stay :-).

Cheya had Kittens!

Early this morning (before anyone should be out of bed, if you want my opinion ;-))...Cheya had 6 beautiful kittens. They are all big and healthy - and mom did really well. She is purring a lot and cleaning a lot. Six kittens are a lot to take care of :-). We will hopefully get a picture of them up here soon.

Goodbyes...and Hellos

We have been saying a lot of goodbyes, in the last few weeks...and are getting ready for a bunch more (9 to be exact :-)). The kittens are all growing up and going to their new homes. It's fun to hear how they are settling in with their new families. We miss them, but even while they are leaving us - more are on their way. We have kittens due any day now, by Cheya and Dakota. Cheya is huge this time - we can't wait to see how many little ones she is going to have. Soon we will be saying hello to a whole new bunch! We'll let you know when they arrive :-).

I know...

I know...It's been too long since I last wrote. And so much has been happening. We have been enjoying all the kittens and talking to new owners...and 3 weeks are already gone since I last wrote. Anyway, today I want to talk about Dapple our beautiful seal tortie colorpoint girl. It's always been difficult for me to capture the tortie look on camera - but this girl is really beautiful in person. Her ears, tail, and feet have a marbled look to them with the seal, red, and white. Her face is really beautiful with the marbling look as well. She has one of the sweetest personalities, is very floppy....she also loves to play. My husband (who usually can't tell the difference between the kittens) is especially taken with her - thinking she is one of the more beautiful of our kittens. With torties it's fun, because each one is unique - and Dapple is a beautiful example of the tortie marbling.
