A bit quieter for a couple of weeks

Beetles kittens have all flown the nest so all of a sudden we can walk around the house without being ambushed, we can sit down to watch a bit of TV and not have 3 kittens sat on our shoulders, we can eat something without being mugged :)  The two new litters are looking fab, all have eyes open and Pollys litter are starting to take interest in life outside the nest box. These pics were taken a couple of days ago.

The weather has been fabulous over the last few days so has been lovely out walking the dogs. 

Kitten updates

Polly's kittens are coming along very nicely,  Polly is a very relaxed mum. We definitely have 4 girls and a boy (the boy is blue) but I'm not 100% sure exactly what shades the girls are going to be, 2 colourpoints but could be blue or chocolate, what I initially thought was a pale blue is now looking like a lilac and the tabby and white could be chocolate, lilac or possibly something else, time will tell, for the moment all I am really concerned about is that they are fit and well, which they are :)

On Tuesday evening Mrs Miggins presented us with 3 strapping boys, 2 tabbies and a black. At the moment all the kittens are available so please give me a shout if you would like further information. 

Polly has had her kittens

Yesterday morning Polly gave birth to 5 beautiful healthy kittens. At 1st glance we have 2 colourpoint (white) girls, 1 chocolate tabby/white girl, 1 pale blue girl and 1 dark blue boy. These are just a couple of quick snaps and snippet of video taken about an hour after the last kitten had arrived. As always, please contact me should you be interested in a kitten. Although I consider 5 to be a fair sized litter, it has become apparent that Polly wasn't the size she was purely because of the kittens she was carrying, she will be going on a diet as soon as the kittens are weaned :)

A few recent pics

All seems to be going well with Whoopi, she had her scans and this showed that her neck is now stable but she has a large lesion on the right hand side of her brain, this is what is affecting her left hand side coordination. Hopefully with time (and physio) her brain will rewire itself and her condition should continue to improve, but even if there were no further improvement I can happily say that her quality of life is good and she appears to be completely pain free. She is on quiet walks, with just Cash and Tiffany for company, for a couple more weeks, then she should be able to start going out with the pack again. I am going to be superfit by the end of her recuperation as the separate walks meant that last week I covered over 80 miles!!!

The kittens are 9 weeks old today, the go for their first vaccinations tomorrow. These babies are all booked but we hope to have more kittens in about a fortnight.
