Octomom Update

Bailey is doing great with her 8 kittens. You would hardly know she has that many to care for. They are all growing very fast and their eyes are open. They are starting to crawl around and engage in their surroundings. They are two weeks old today, so we are confident of listing their color and patterns now. So here goes: 2 seal mitted boys, 1 seal colorpoint boy, 2 seal lynx colorpoint boys, 1 seal tortie colorpoint girl, 1 seal torbie colorpoint girl and 1 seal torbie mitted girl. There are 5 boys and 3 girls total. I will probably try to get some pictures of them in a week or two, when they get to the age they can kind of try to look at the camera ;-).

Website Updates

You might have already noticed but over the last week we have been adding articles to our website. We still have more to come, but so far we have added:
1. A tour of our cattery - This tour is complete with pictures and descriptions of our two homes.
2. Food, Treats, & Water - We often have people ask us about food and water. This article goes into detail about what food we use and why, even hitting on the wet food question. We also give our treat recommendation and talk a little about water, particularly water fountains.
3. Litter and Litter boxes - Just as with food, there are many choices when it comes to litter and litter boxes. This article explains our process of navigating through all the different options and what we ultimately chose as the best litter for us. We also give some tips about how to choose a litter box for your kitten and recommendations on litter box care.
4. Breeder Page - We have one girl that just retired and one new queen, so take a look if you are interested.
5. And last, we just put pictures up of Nala's kittens. They are 5 weeks old now, are already litter trained and running the house. They haven't quite learned to look at the camera yet - there are too many other fun things to look at!

Octomom

Bailey had her kittens in the middle of the night yesterday, July 8th. She had 8! We are now jokingly calling her the Octomom. This is our biggest litter ever by 2 kittens. Bailey is a great mom and will take care of them all very well I'm sure. And since she had 6 last time she is used to taking care of a lot of little ones. We can't wait to see what they look like and should have more information on them in a week or so.
