kittens

hi some of you may know already last year we messed up our breeding and eneded up with four litters of kittens at once 1 litter was 8weeks when 4th litter born!!!! (and 2 inbetween) we had about 21 kittens in total...

we were really lucky though as all the mums shared and helped out - by the end i dont htink they knew whos were whos!!!!

heres a couple of pics.

awwwwwwwwww they are all very cute. such a mix match of colours and markings. the pic of them in the box with 1 mum is well sweet!

yeah shes such a good mum!!!! i felt a bit sorry for her though as they would all just pile in on top of her!!!!!! the other 3 mums used to let her get on with it and would only help out when they felt like it - tia's just a mum to everyone though - she had a good rest since then and not had anymore litters yet!!!!!! may have one later this year but not sure yet i want her to have a good rest as shes also our oldest cat.

aww bless her, she looks so chilled out with the kittens, how old is she?

shes a totally chilled cat!!!!!! a great big softie..... shes about 5 and half yrs which is why we wont have many more litters from her now 1 - maybe 2 depends how she does with the next one - but at th mo shes in no hurry to call which is good.

aw bless thats if she wants to have any more little ones!

i dont blame her if she doesnt after the last lot!!!!! I never force them to mate so if she doesnt thats fine by us - at the end of the day shes our pet first and foremost and whats best for her is most important.... at the mo shes helping look after this litter....cleaning, grooming, and cuddling up with!!!!!

awwww she seems so mumsey! bet shes loving the company from the little ones!

yeah she is.... shes a great mum.... heres another pic of her - this time with ONLY her own litter.....

awwwww i think she just loves all kittens, whether they are her own or not!

yeah - whenever we get a new one she always takes them under her wing and helps them settle in - dont know what we'd do without her.

prperly little mumsey cat! bet she is lovely with all of them. she is definately one chilled out little girl!

WOW thats alot of kittens and alot of mouths to feed and lots of meows , lovely pics , kitty heaven

feeding time was a nightmare!!!!!!!! it was certainly an expereince!!!!!! wont be making that mistake again though and having so many litters at once - 2 litters at one time is enough!!!!!!! still waiting for maria and malibu to give birth - maria looks like she gonna pop at the mo!!!!!!!!

you'd better have some hot water and towels at hand for when they give birth, lots of little paws to arrive!

got em already!!!!!! maria usually gives birth just as im about to go to bed.....!!!!!!! or just when ive gone to bed and malibu normally has hers in the middle of the day - so might not be here for hers so my oh will be looking after her.

aw bless, all are different. most cats like giving birth during the night, as its much quieter and safer from so called predators, just instinct!
i hope they come soon, cant wait to meet them all & must see lots of piccies please!
