Mummycat Monday...

Well the kittens are now 7 weeks old and are getting pretty big! They are into everything and anything as well as doing there level best to eat Mummy out of house and home! ;) Oh yes they are just like D'Boy, always looking for their next meal... So much so that they all get together and make sure that I am not withholding milk from them a number of times each day, especially before nap time!

They have been pretty good in learning all about hunting toy mousies this past week, although they don't as yet have the all encompassing enthusiasm for the mousies as I do. Mummy tells me this is because I'm a little nutty about mousies... I assure you Mummy, my mousies haven't got any nuts in 'em or on 'em. I should know I've put the bitey on them good and proper many times now! ;) Oh yes there is little quite like putting the bitey on a toy mousie to make me happy! :)

Other than that Mummy fed us all some roast beef last night and the kittens devoured it like a pack of furry Parana! ;) Lastly Mummy's been planting us some more catnip for the cat run, so we'll have a total of 6 different varieties growing in there this summer! :) As you might have guessed my housemate Tigmut'hep is very pleased about this news...

Mummycat Monday...

Well the weekend was kind of hectic here as the kittens are now so much bigger and far more hungry all the time. However Mummy handed out a few nice new toy mice from our goody bag and much of the frustration has now been taken out on these. Tigmut'hep has even managed to de-tail his one already... He says this proves he's far more stressed out than the rest of us (I put this down to his having finished his Matatabi and it being a little early in the catnip season!)

Ooh taking of catnip, Mummy bought us two new varieties of catnip at the garden centre she visited on Sunday with Daddy and D'Boy! She says she's going to look out for a few new planters for the run and redo all out catnip collection so that it's in one or two nice big trough type pots if she can fine some she likes! :) I do so like sniffing the purrty 'nip plants and laying in the middle of them when it's all hot in the summer...

Anyway right now I'm busy keeping the now 5 week old kittens busy and out of trouble! This is a very difficult task at times... However LG had a good bath this morning as you can see. Boy made the most of Mummy allowing the kittens onto the bed for a bit and had a good stretch out, while BG decided to shock Mummy and pose nicely for a photo! :)

As you can see they've been doing a LOT of growing this past week and are now more like mini cats than ickle babies any more. BG and Boy are having 3 good meals of chicken or turkey a day and LG has decided to start on a mixture of meat and formula all mixed up into a smoothy as she just can't quite face proper dinners yet. However she's been packing on the grams on this mixture and is now happy to accept her meals as well as her visits to the milk bar! ;) So I expect that she'll be on proper dinners like her siblings before much longer, with a few good servings of mothers milk each day, especially at bedtime it's no wonder that all of the kittens are now about 600g's! :)

Oh and before I forget to tell you the kittens gave me a nice tinful of Applaws chicken (my personal favourite dinner) yesterday, as well as LG letting me finish up her milk and meat smoothy when she was all full-up! You've just gotta love the perks of being a mummy some days... :)

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! ;)

Titty Tuesday...

Can you believe it my ickle baby kittens will be one month old tomorrow! It's all gone too fast and they have all started to eat solid food, though they still spend a lot of time at the milk bar too, supping on Mothers Milk. :)

Delta Peach aged 23 days

I mean look at the size of my ickle baby Delta! She's huge and that photo was taken a week ago... She's now even bigger and so fast on her paws that she's become a bit of a challenge for Mummy to take photos of, though she has promised to get the camera out today so that there are new photos for "Family Friday" :) She's pretty good as far as Mummy's go I guess... ;)

Last night the kittens discovered chewy cat treat sticks... You see I love these yummy meaty treats and Mummy was a little fed up of Django chewing on her fingers and making them sore with his little fangs! So she thought he might like to chew at one of these for a bit and then I could have it to eat once he'd got over his fit of the bitey... Oh silly Mummy she should have remembered why we all call Django, "Django Feed" 'cause he scoffed nearly half of one of these sticks before Mummy could get it off of him! Next Delta had a go at it and decided she liked it lots too, then came Dizzy and Dandy who also came back with the same verdict - these are a good thing for a kitten to put the bitey on and they taste better than finger and scream a LOT less! ;) Oh well at least Mummy made sure I got two of these after the kittens were satisfied... I just worry that there'll be a shortage of them here now that the kittens know about them! ;)

Family Friday

Well my lovely little family is now nearly a month old and to celebrate this fact those lovely people at Zoolatry made me this picture! :) You can see everyone on it, even Dandy's bottom! ;)

The kittens are getting big and strong on their daily diet of Mothers Milk, though the boys are starting to like solid food too. Delta Peach being so much like me has quite a passion for milk as such she's not shown a lot of interest in solid food yet... The thing I like most about the kittens learning to eat solids, is I get their left overs and they're all milky! Though I do miss the odd bottle I managed to get my tongue around... Maybe I can teach Mummy to give me my cat milk treats in a kitten bottle?! ;) Sometimes I miss being the baby, but mostly I love being a Momma cat!

Titty Tuesday!

Thank you all for your lovely comments and wished for me and my new little family! :) You're all very astute to have noticed that they are all utterly gorgeous... ;) I'm thrilled to be able to show you all what I mean as Mummy took some more photos of them for me! :)

So here's my happy little family!

Dandy Jazzman

Django Reinhardt

Delta Peach

Dizzy Gillespie

Right now all they really want to do it line up at the milk bar for a good old suck! After a quick grooming they're happy to go back to sleep and grow big and strong on all the Mothers Milk in their bellies! :)
