Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005We now have four kittens
Sonya just had two more kittens so we're up to a four kitten count. One is a black/gray tabby. The rest are black and white, though this might change as they dry off and collect their colors. I'm going to let Sonya dry them off, love on them a lot, and then get pictures of them to post. They're SO cute.

Can't wait for the pix :) Bev  SignatureCats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit. Congratulations, grand-meow! If you have to use a flash please know that I for one would be glad to wait for the pics until the light good enough that there's no need to frighten those precious newborns. > Sonya just had two more kittens so we're up to a four kitten count.

Aren't kittens blind for their first few days? You might scare the mother with a flash-bulb, but I doubt the kittens would notice until their eyes begin to open. >>Sonya just had two more kittens so we're up to a four kitten count.

They're not blind, they just don't hve their eyes open. A bright light like a flash from a camera can be seen through closed eyes. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa! Congrats to Sonya and the Shirks. More kitten tails errrrr tales :o) Suz&Spicey > Aren't kittens blind for their first few days?

I'm sure you yourself see/feel light even through closed eyelids. And a bright light like a camera flash would certainly startle the little kitties and might even hurt their eyes.

We had four each time when our cats had kittens. I always thought that was pretty much the norm. Whew. I bet she is tiRED.

There was a sixth one, but it was still born and could not be revived. Rob and Mike are pretty sure that she doesn't have any more in her. Her cat bed is currently in the washer being cleaned. We have tentatively named the little black and gray tiger striped with white underbelly and paws, Eric(a). I have tried to figure out if they are male or female, but their bottoms all look alike to me. I'm still waiting until mom and babies bond more before going for individual pictures. One of them is a little holstein and another looks sorta like black building blocks with white grout, at least to me. They're just way too cute. Sonya is really good about letting us touch the babies, but one can see that it is mainly manners and that she would prefer if we leave them alone. So I've told us all to leave them alone. Wish them all luck. Pam S. proud grand-meow > Well we're at five now. There was a sixth one, but it was still born > and could not be revived.

Sorry that one was stillborn, but that's part of the cycle of life. Have you announced the new arrivals to the rest of the cats? Pine Cone must be wondering if he's got new swabbies Kristi >> Sonya just had two more kittens so we're up to a four kitten count. One >> is a black/gray tabby.

So sorry about the little still born, but that is an awful lot of kittens to look after and nature knew best. Good heavens, you will be lucky to identify sex at 8 weeks let alone anytime soon. It's pretty hard. Glad Sonya seems OK. Good call on not touching them much for now. Whew!! AWWWWWW! Concatulations to every Shirk catslave and many happy purr-turns of the day to Sonya and her babies! Can't wait to hear more and see piccies! Ya'll done good!

And a sorrowful wish of "Godspeed" to our little one whose journey to the Bridge began even before it was born. I hope that somehow, somewhere, it sensed all the prayers, purrs, and good thoughts being sent in its direction and that of its siblings. I know that you'll take pics of Sonya and family when the time is right, but BOY am I ever looking forward to that time. :o) Donna, Captain, and Stanley P.S. from Captain and Stanley: Hi, teeny kitties! A good way to get hugs and pettins is to approach your hoomin who's sitting on the couch, plant your front paws on his or her ribs, and purr in his or her face. It never fails to work. :3 >> Sonya just had two more kittens so we're up to a four kitten count. One >> is a black/gray tabby.

Elisabet and Hugo Katt Congratulations to Sonya and to you on the new family! Sorry about the sixth baby who did not quite make it. Gentle handling of the kittens once a day by humans is actually a good idea. That way they get used to the idea that we are their friends, too. Better socialization with humans can't hurt when it comes time to find them forever homes. I'm sure Sonya will take excellent care of her babies, but she needs lots of care from you. Feed her feed her and feed her, and give her lots of love and praise. We're waiting for piccies..... <tapping foot> Melissa It's a cow cat. I've got a cow cat myself. His name is Cow Cat.

Bless the little girl for knowing by instinct how to care for her kittens. Awww. Oh, btw, do not worry if Sonya doesn't want to eat tomorrow or even the next day. She has eaten all the placentas, which is nature's way to feed her so she can stay with her babies. Ain't Mother Nature just wonderful?

Just reading all these comments and updates makes me want to go find and adopt a homeless pregnant queen. I am a hopeless cat addict. hehehehehe, that would be something I could tell my roommate on April Fool's Day "I went out and adopted a pregnant cat" man she would soooooooooooo kill me Kristi How lovely, kittens are so sweet. As a breeder of many years, I would advise you to briefly handle each kitten daily, a short check of eyes, umbilicus etc; to make sure all is OK. provided the mother does not object. The kittens will become used to the smell of humans and not be afraid. Marie from OZ. > <Swoon> thud > Been watching all news and updates.
