New Kittens! January 30, 2012

I am proud to announce that Star has 2 new kittens and everyone is doing extremely well.  There is a Blue Silver boy, and what looks like might be a Blue Golden girl;  Blue Golds are a bit tricky at this young age, so I’ll have to see how her color comes in over the course of the next week to be sure. Blue Silvers and Blue Golds are a bit of a rarity so it’s always exciting when they make an appearance in a litter.

The little boy will be offered as a pet or breeder, and the little girl’s destiny has yet to be determined. I have 2 more litters due in March from Mica and Skeeter, so I’ll wait and see what they offer before I make my selection for this round of kittens to keep for my breeding program. The next litter will probably not include any Blues, just regular Silvers and Golds.

Now you know what I’ve been up to, busy, busy, busy with waiting for new kittens and now busy, busy, busy taking care of them and their mom. I spend my days changing their bedding, weighing them to make sure they are getting enough nourishment from Star, letting Star out a few times a day to stretch her legs and wander around the house a bit, and generally overseeing the entire baby nurturing process. It won’t be long before they are running around making me crazy as they get into trouble learning how to navigate this big, wonder-filled world.

I’ll take pictures of the new kittens once their eyes open, and post them on the website and blog. I’ll also be setting up Kitten Cam so you can watch them live. At the moment, there’s not much going on with them – just sleeping and nursing – but they will soon be able to hold their little heads up and crawl around more; that’s when they start to get interesting.

I’ll keep you posted on their progress, and let you know when Kitten Cam is up and running – maybe as early as next week!
