Look what we have!!! Five tiny, sweet babies!
Right after they were born, they were in such a piled up tangle, that I had trouble seeing exactly how many there were.
Turns out, there are five. We have two blacks with white chins, one stripe and two black and white mixed–including this little black nose cutie.
Of course, Mama Dali and babies are all doing great…
and you know, I’m always happy about it!
Heh, heh.
This time around we have twin kitties. The one on the left has an adorable dot on it’s chin and different black pattern on it’s back. So, as much as they look alike–we can easily tell them apart.
Here’s the fun bit. We don’t just have one set of twins…
WE HAVE TWO!! Go back and look at that again. So sweet, right?!
Another fun fact is that they kinda stick together–stripe and stripe and black and white with black and white. It’s bizarre.
Then, we have this little rebel that plays with everybody. Nearly black all over but for a white throat and four white tipped paws.
They had their first field trip out of the box a couple of days ago and are loving the extra space to play and wrestle with each other. Now if I can just keep them out from under my office chair. Yikes.
These little critters will be 5 weeks old on Sunday and I expect they will only get cuter…
which is the hardest part for me.
The kitties are at that awkward stage where I’d happily pay someone to get some good pictures.
They don’t sit still…
or open their eyes–even though they can…
or turn around and face the camera properly.
Haha.
But they’re getting bigger and more friendly every day. So, I’ll try harder to snap some better pictures of our sweet babies.
If they’d quit wiggling.
Sheesh.
I went to tend Elsey while Lyndi’s family attended the Lindon LDS Temple Open House–and a few minutes after I came home…
Dali had four kittens! Seriously, four…
in a matter of minutes.
She seemed a little rattled that they came so fast, like she wasn’t sure what to do. I helped her as much as I could and smoothed out her blankets. Then I went back to Lyndi’s.
When I came home that night, there were actually…
SIX!
We’ve never had six before and all some variation of black and white. Two of them even look like my cute Beany.
Happy Kitty Birthday to US!!
