Twilabelle's kittens
Hi there,

Miss Twilabelle's in labor!!!

We have 1 kitten so far (looks like it will be solid black). We have a long night ahead of us.

I'll post photos once they're all here.

Looking forward to the pics! Exciting! We had a litter in our household 20 years ago...alas probably won't get the experience again.

4. ARGH!!! My camera isn't working
I'm going out tomorrow to get a new one. Sorry for the delay everyone.

I hope the photos on the memory card can be saved.

Update on the babies: 4 gray/black striped, and 2 solid black. Can't tell male from female right now, but they all seem healthy and sleep a lot.

Miss Twilabelle is doing okay -- we're pretty sure this is her first litter, and that first kitten out caused her a lot of pain, but they're all here now, and everyone is doing fine.

6. Oh JOY! Six baby kittens to adore. Can't wait to see their pictures.
Six is a very large first litter; usually there are only 3 or 4, so I can imagine that Twilabelle is worn out. Mamacat probably needs extra nutrition to provide for her brood.

13. Twilabelle has such a sweet face...
and I'll bet she's glad to get those kittens OUT!

SIX...that's a LOT of kittens, first litter or not!

That little baby tabby face turned toward the camera looks as though there is going to be more purrsonality (sorry, couldn't resist :spank:) than is allowed by law.

17. Eyes open already?
:wow:
That's fast! I thought it took at least 10 days for them to be able to do that...

Are they starting to get control of their legs (i.e., make them go all in the same direction) yet?

Can't wait until they start with the headlong 'kitten scamper'...that is utterly enchanting.



I loves da black kitties :loveya:...but the tabby babies are so adorable with their little spiky tails and little spotty tummies...

18. Three weeks old
The vet says I should go ahead and try to start weaning them.

20. They're growing into their ears! Look at the sharp tabby "M"
on their foreheads. Bet the tabbies will be as pretty as Twilabelle. And the little black kitties :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:
