Mommycat Monday...

Well as everykitty might have guessed, it's been a very busy week for me this past one, what with 3 new mouths to feed and all. Not forgetting my usual duties of cleaning out my brother Ramses' ears and squabbling with Tigmut'hep over food and toys, waking Mummy up and depositing furs on Daddy after work! To top it off D'boy has been home all week and Daddy was home for a few days too - they do it to mess with my schedule you know! ;) All the same I manged to get the kittens fed and groomed and did all my jobs too, even if the dropped bikky in the kitchen did have to wait for 2 days for me to catch up on my work. Honestly if only Ramses and Tigmut'hep had been bought up properly that job would not be necessary... *sigh*

So above is my little daughter LG, looking all sweet and angelic for the camera. I have already told her that looking innocent and sweet will get her a long way in this life! ;) However Boy doesn't seem to have taken this on board at all and is constantly caught getting into mischief, mostly down to his insistence that he gets to sleep on top of or in the middle of his sisters and has the right to pull them off what ever nipple they happen to have latched onto if he feels like testing that one for a bit... All in all I'm starting to suspect that he's the trouble maker of the litter. BG is the strong silent type at present, happy just to suckle and sleep, so I wonder if my daughters will ever manage to keep their brother in line...

As you see right now they let Boy walk all over them! ;) However, I have to admit he does look funny having fallen asleep while attempting to get in the middle of his sisters for added warmth! :)

Oh and they've now all doubled their birth weight, so are doing better than their half-siblings did last year. Some of them took up to 9 days to double their birth weight! Maybe I'm producing a better grade of milk this time round?! Maybe this litter are just greedier?! What ever the cause I'm happy they're doing so very well... :)

Mega Mummycat Monday...

Sorry for not posting to my bloggy yesterday, but I was busy being in labour and having 3 gorgeous ickle baby kittens! :) Yes, I had my Mummy totally fooled by my big belly, but the kittens were all a good size when born and have been sucking the milk bar dry all night and are now 15g's heavier each! You know Mother's Milk is really good stuff, even if it does seem to make Skeezix all silly and his legs all wobbly! ;)

Mummycat Monday...

Ok, so for my finally Mummycat Monday before the kittens are due to arrive, I've caved into popular demand and let Mummy take a photo of my belly with just a week left to go until my kittens arrive! I hope you all enjoy this pose as much as I am currently doing... It sure takes the weight off of your belly resting this way up, as does finding a nicely placed pillow to rest your front half on while your big huge preggy belly rests on your Mummy's bed! I must say I hope that Marie's Mom's found out about these positions too... Her baby girl is due just 5 days after my kittens due date, so she too much be feeling the weight thing by now, though Mummy assurs me that she didn't feel the need to lay on her back on the stairs when she was expecting D'Boy! ;)

Mummycat Monday...

Well it's all white outside and I'm glad to be nice and warm indoors at present, with the yummy cooking smells wafting from the kitchen where Mummy's not only cooking a big batch of chilli up for the family, but some beef, heart and liver for me! :) It seems Mummy hit pay dirt at one of the local butchers and can get me lots of yummy meat there, as well as getting us some frozen from the big pet shop we have just 1.1miles from the house... Heck we even got a little roasty pork last night! :) So as you can see the food round here is really good and I'm making the most of it! ;)

Oh yes my belly is growing and with a little under 2 weeks left to go I can feel the ickle baby kittens having a little move around in there too! Last night I lay on Mummy's chest for ages letting her join in the fun of feeling my babies move, I even let Daddy have a gentle feel... It's a great feeling and I have to admit I'm now spending most of my time contemplating my belly and purring to it! :) By next week the kittens movements will be even stronger and I may well let Daddy video tape it again so you can all have a little look at them. Right now it's pretty subtle and you have to either look very closely or rest your hand softly on my belly and wait for about 10-15 mins to feel a bit of a wriggle going on inside... ;) At this rate they're going to be called names like; Wriggler, Fidget, Squirmer & Wiggler! Though I bet Mummy's got some much cooler names for them, 'cause I'm not sure a future big mancat would like to spend his life being called Mr. Wiggle Bottom! ;)

Anyway it's time for a little nap and maybe a paw massage... Mummy's put up the kittens bed for me, so I can make sure it's all organized to my liking before my due date. I gather Marie's Mommy is doing pretty much the same right now and we've been helping Mummy make the little Blurpy Girl some mega kyoot onesies (though without the pattented Tigmut'hep tail hole!) I'll get Mummy to photograph them once they're finished so you can all have a little look at them, I bet you'll be able to tell which is my purrsonal fave straight off! ;)

Update: It's snowing so much here that they've sent D'Boy home to help snuggle me...
