She doesn't seem very sure that she even wants to get into the breeding business, so maybe Kira can retire after this. We'll see. Of course, it's nice to have all that cuteness in the family. :o)

And judging by the contented sleepy expression on the mother's face, I don't really think she minds having kittens, except for maybe the labor part. }:)

Back in "my day", fathers were treated like germ-laden expendables whose only purpose was to admit the mother and sign the paperwork, then get out of the way.

(Anyone remember the TV series, "Alien Nation", in which there was a segment that dealt with just that?)

He hated the other kittens, at least until they were big enough to play with. I don't know how he is reacting to these kittens. I suppose I'll have to go see the babies soon. Oh, the tough duties of an auntie. ;o)

It's fairly safe to assume he wouldn't become a nuisance with a video camera. One wonders if he would meow advice on breathing...and if the queen would respond SHUT UP.

I'm trying to count and can't tell if it's 4 or 5 kittens. There are at least 4 tails, but it looks like there might be another one hiding up by Kira's front legs. What's the total?

Not that I really know a lot about the breed, just what I remember from what my niece has told me. I'm not that into breed features, as I prefer moggies any day. :o)

Although, I canNOT see any kind of stripe on Pearl, as she is an inky black, Grant especially, you can see telltale tabby rings in bright sunlight, although he is a black cat. He and Sugar are the brown black color.
