A Baby Explosion

 The new babies

(above and below)

These are the older kids on the block.

They're so playful

and well behaved

they can pose too,
but insist on looking at their mommy

Mommy looks on and can't believe that her babies
will be 6 weeks old next Sunday

Three Weeks Old

The three little kittens are three weeks old,
beginning to play
and stay awake for longer periods of time.

Proud Mama with her three kittens

Patiently Waiting

Are you done yet?

Children, children...pay attention

Look here, what Mommy brought you.

Yummy...It's still nice and warm.

What do you mean it smells bad?

Go ahead, touch it

it won't bite and it's good to eat...

Better than those dried up nuggets.

Maybe if I bat it around a little you'll be more interested.

Well that little game didn't work!

I spent all morning rounding up this delicious little treat for you

and this is the thanks I get!

NO!!! Your not going to nurse

until you eat your breakfast...

And I MEAN IT this time.

Look what one? of us did

May 1st and not quite 7 weeks old yet

and one of them has figured out what the litter box is for...
But which kitten was it?


The kittens look exactly alike,
and as much as I have followed them around,
I still don't know which one
first used the litter box.


We're so proud!
and upon closer inspection,
there are more tiny little poops
buried in there.

It's Potty Time!

Callie's kittens

Callie's kittens are 5 weeks old tomorrow. They act rather young for 5 weeks stumbling around and trying to play.

The two black kittens are very well fed and look like a couple of little black bears. Here they are trying to play with their mama Callie.

Here is Callie posing with one of her sweet little bears. The kitten is starting to get some grey highlights in his fur, especially on the underside. I don't know the sex of either cat...I've never been very good at determining sex of young kittens. I usually just wait until they grow something extra and then I know.

Happy Cat

Callie is a very happy cat in this pet carrier with her two remaining 5 day old kittens. She is now inside the house where her kittens are safe from harm. The kittens were born on March 15th and this picture was taken on March 20, 2007.


Callie is taking a little break from her mothering duties and enjoying the warm sunny day. She is trying to relax, but there are two tomcats who want her attention so she moves to the back steps.


Here she is on the back steps trying to stretch out and take a little nap while waiting for someone to let her back inside where she can rest on the window sill undisturbed by the annoying tomcats.



In these remaining pictures the kittens are 12 days old. They are big for their age because there are only two of them and they get plenty of milk from Callie. There eyes are open although they still cannot walk very well. They try to stand up but their little legs aren't strong enough yet.
They can hiss already although I wasn't able to catch it in a picture and I really hated blinding them with the flash of the camera. The very first time they hissed at me was when they were 5 days old and I shined a flashlight into there little home. Although there eyes weren't opened yet they could tell that a light was shining brightly on them.
They're trying to play a little...but just a little. They still spend most of their time sleeping...and of course eating.
