Six Weeks Old

All six!
These six week olds haven't been getting all the attention they are accustomed too.
Grandma Sheba has been getting it all.
Sheba's kittens were born very early on July 28.

I thought this scene was pretty funny.
Sheba is in labor, in her box where she belongs.
She has a little too much company.
We moved the other moms and kittens out to give her some space.

After several hours, Sheba has 3 sweet babies.
I haven't tried to figure out sexes yet.
Sheba and I have both been too tired for that.

Five Weeks Old

This baby is enjoying hanging out with his Grandma Sheba on the cat tree.

This has been a big week for the kittens.
They are all big enough to climb out of the large box they had been in.
Everyone is using the litter box
and eating solid food, although
they still get lots of nourishment from mom.

Ialso put colored bands on their necks to help me tell them apart,
I have never had a litter where everyone looks so much alike.
This is Sheldon (red band) with Grandma Sheba.

This is Leslie, she is by far the bravest of the kittens.
She has already trekked through the entire house,
she also loves Oreo and scares the poor dog
by running right up to her.

This is the other little girl Penny discovering cat toys.

Its fun watching them explore and discover the house.
Although they have had toys around since they were born,
they are just learning what to do with them.

Four Weeks Old

We took the kittens outside to get some pics in the sunshine
\We got 5 out of 6 to look at the camera.

Several were content to view the world from the basket.

Daddy Weezer came over to see what we were up to.

"Hi World"

Everybody back in with mom relaxed and content.

Three Weeks Old

The babies are growing and a little more relaxed being held.
We have tiny teeth now so are beginning solid food.
It smells interesting but mom tastes better.

They are only willing to be held for a minute or two then they get very wiggly.
They'd rather be on their feet than in this position.
I just love their little pink tummies.
