Kitten Pictures
I had a little bit of fun with the camera tonight! Here's Sasha and her new babies. There are 5 total, 3 grey and 2 black. I know one of the black ones is a girl, but as I was checking the gender, Sasha jumped out, grabbed the kitten and took her back to the nest box. What a good mama! At least she didn't have a problem with a quick photo session. Since mom has russian-blue coloring and a russian sounding name, we're thinking of keeping that theme name for the kittens. Anastasia and Natalia come to mind right away - any suggestions?
Here are the babies within a couple of hours of birth in their nest box. I'll put a clean towel in there tomorrow when mom is feeling better. It's actually amazing to me how clean the process is. Mama does a lot of work in having these babies!!
She just laid down to nurse and was so content to purr and feed the babies. It was so sweet when the little black one came up by her face. Then it looked like she gave mama a kiss. I know it wasn't a kiss, but it still looks sweet!
Here are some pictures of Venice's babies:
They are really starting to get into everything. They're going on 4-weeks-old and starting to wear mama out!
Here poor Venice tries to get a drink, but the kittens decide to swarm her since she's standing still! The little tabby got wet paws trying to find a better spot!
