Zuri and First Few Kittens

[admin]

Thanks Brigitte! Zuri seems very, very tired tonight, but at least she got up for a while...as soon as the kittens start crying, she runs right back to her nesting box...

The cinnamon kitten is really beautiful! I will have to get mug shots in a couple of days, if I can!! They weigh about 90 gm each as of tonight...and yes, I will have to try and figure out who is who...I will need to figure out a system

Oh, Shelby can tell some funny stories

I find that for the first few days mama cat does sleep a lot with her babies...and Zuri ought to be tired popping out all those kittens! OMG!

pet-safe nail polish I think is one way... if you can find enough colors... OPI makes a Pawlish line that's safe for pets

Once they are a little bigger though you will discern enough differences, well except when they are racing past fast in a blur of spots! LOL!

If not the nail polish, what about collars to tell them apart, as soon as they get a little older? Sue

I will try the nail polish for now - thanks Brigitte! Sue, I don't like to put anything around their necks, but that is just me...thank you though for the suggestion.

Zuri gave birth to 8 kittens between Sunday and today, the 8th kitten born about 3 am...So far, they are all healthy and happy and doing fine...you cannot really see the kittens well yet, but that will come in time

This picture was taken Sunday eve, July 22nd...Zuri is a great Mom! And thank you to Shelby, who allowed Zuri to visit Izzy and make such beautiful babies Thank you to Shelby for being such a wonderful mentor and going above and beyond - she stayed with me on the phone all day yesterday into the early morning!

Thank you to all my friends, especially Trish, Sue A, Pam, Patti, Lori, Brigitte, Kristine, Cynthia, Per and all the other people who offered me help if I should need it and/or put up with me asking a million questions - could not have gotten here without you all! And I am really tired, so if I forgot anyone, please forgive me!

And thank you to everyone on the forum for all your support and excitement at this awesome event! I appreciate every one of you!!! I am so happy we have the forum as a means of talking about and sharing our awesome breed!

Congrats, Paige (and Zuri)!!! What a windfall for your first time!!! Eight is a HUGE litter, my friend! Anxious to see more photos in the coming weeks as they develop. Have you sexed them yet?
