Kittens!

I know that you people from America are hesitant about breeding. That's why
I held myself back for three (!) full days, but now I have to say:
We've got three beautiful kittens last Saturday, and Cinderella did
everything according to the book (she must have read it secretly).
They're sooooooooooooo sweet! And I have already more people wanting them
than I can take.
One farmer said to me that he has 8 people asking for kittens at the moment,
but his cat didn't get pregnant this spring ...

We are all surprised that the kittens are tuxedos, the mother is white with
tabby tail - and I caught her with a tabby male singing in front of my
bedroom window. But she must have had an affair with a black and white
fellow before ...

Our poor Micky (neutered male) is at the end of his wits: first he was
afraid when he heard a kitten cry and hid under the bed - then he had a
generous look at the newcomers and hissed badly.

Do you have pictures yet Carola? I'd love to see them. Just because
some of us Americans are vehemently anti-breeding, it doesn't mean we
don't get kitten fever, too .. :-)
You should have my Frank right now. He loves babies. Everytime I've
brought a rescue kitten in, he bathes it, fusses over it, really
mothers it. It's really cute.

They're a day old, but the pics are not so good.

That's me falling over from advanced kitten fever.

Thanks for posting.

We've named them Noah, Elia and Lina.
Elia is my favourite because he has a white point at the back of his tail
and a little black spot in his face, plus he is the smallest.

There are actually two rabbits, the other one is somewhere on a photo
playing with the cat.
I'm surprised how well the cat mother does her job with the kittens, and
she's very generous: We're all allowed to stick our noses in, even Eva the
dog and our neutered Tom. The latter is afraid of the babies, he hid under
the bed when one of the little ones screamed ...
Eva has taken on the job to guard the basket with the cats. But I have a
feeling she just makes sure that she's there when Cindy gets a treat!

It's a bit of generalization to say that all Americans are anti-breeding.
I respect ethical breeders who have established a breeding program in an
effort to preserve the breed.  This includes having proper genetic and
health tests performed on all their animals prior to breeding.  I'm not
sure where you're located, but I find it hard to believe that pet
overpopulation is only a problem in America.

First, NO ONE said "all" Americans are anti-breeding. Second, I do not
know, or pretend to know, the status of overpopulation in Carola's
country.
Third, breeding in general has been discussed ad nauseum on this group
already. You might do a google search if you're new here.
And last, you're welcome to start a new thread if you're wanting to
discuss the ethics of breeding.

yeah but if we didn't discuss things over and over again all we'd have
left is flaming.... oh, wait.
