Sophie's kittens

Sophie and Jerome Kittens have arrived!

Sophie was sooo big for sooo long, or so it seemed we for a month kept thinking she was due anyday. Her big day arrived and she is the proid Mommy of 6 gorgeous kittens. Sophie is our F4 Jungle girl. She has a dose of Savanah, and Bengal in her background.

Here is Sophie a few days before she had her kittens, staked out on her kittening box.

Here is a link to Sophie's kitten video

Here are their kittens at 7 days old.

Kittens are almost 5 weeks

The kittens are growing fast, this is Simba doing his little Lion pose

They are just starting to lose some of their baby fuzzies, their markings are starting to show through the long hairs they have had sticking out through their coats.

Ear tips are really starting to stand out too

They really are a combo of Tiger stripes, with spots

This shot shows the baby fuzz, but if the light isn't hitting it those are striped and spotted coats

 I like the domestic white mittens, at the end of their striped sleeves, it's a very striking combo they are very unique little guys. We had 4 boys and one little girl.

These kittens are very bonded to people, and have been responding strongly since before their eyes were open. Our runt is our busy people lover, and chases us down all the time. He would grow if he bothered to sleep and eat more.He has us trained he refuses kibble and parks himself in front of the fridge and cries for meat treats. Our vet says no more, and he now gets milk replacer! He loves it, so he is just as happy as long as it comes from the fridge, sorry Mom?

 

This is Mufasa our dark kitten, he has beautiful charcoal and black markings on gray and a tawny color, he is very striking.

The kittens are now 1 week old

The Kittens are now 1 week old

This little boy looks just like Dad

 I think this is the little girl, can't quite tell in the pic.

The blue footed boys are becoming very handsome, and I just noticed have jet black noses.

I can't wait to see how this boy looks in a couple weeks!

Last but not least the 3rd white mittened kitten.

Kittens are here

Chita delivered 5 big fat healthy kittens. She was so big, each kitten was pushing double the average weight for newborn. Even the runt was monster size.

Suprise, suprise our Baba wasn't the father, turns out it was clearly the work of Calvin our poly boy turned man cat who is staying with us till his Daddy finds a new home. Calvin is the ubber cool bro to our fabulous Farah. You would be hard pressed to find another cat like him. He has not only unique very extreme markings, but easily the biggest personality of our charges. 

Check out Calvin

Here are a few blurry shots of the kittens at 1 day old. More to follow!

Baba and Chita are pregnant!

Baba and Chita are pregnant! In fact Chita looks ready to burst.We are not sure when this happened so their due date will be a surprise. We expect it to be before months end.

Baba has had to take a job at the family business, now that he is going to be a father.

 Cleo is excited because now she has a title, head dog in charge of cat herding. Baba's has made lots of new friends this week, and lots of folks have gotten a chance to meet their first Jungle Bob.

We will post kittens pics here as soon as they arrive!

Farah

Farah

Farah our poly-footed barn cat girl has proven to be a beautiful and very unique girl.I have been trying to get a photo that shows her face but haven't managed but thought I should post a few pics anyway.

Here she is the day she came home at about 6 weeks

She is now about 9 mo, and has the most amazing wild face. I started calling her my little lion because of her wide long nose bridge. She has such a different look to her face.I will catch that eventually, so far she drops her head because of the flash.

Another unusual thing about Farah is she has an actual mane.She has short fur at her shoulders then just as if we tied on a novelty fake fur mane it turns longer in a ruff that goes all the way around her neck.

She is a Long coated spotted girl, you can make out her spots in a number of shorter areas of her coat. Her mother had short fur, as does her brother and you can see the spots clearly on them.Her other nickname is poofy tail!

A better pic of her mane

You can make out her huge poly feet, which she really does use like hands. I am constantly amazed how my poly cats use their feet, and how much dexterity they have.

darn flash

Farah may be our most gymnastically talented cat, she likes to keep herself amused with her antics...audience of one. She dropped our jaws one day while she was throwing around a piece of silicone caulking pulled from an old tub during a reno. She was throwing it over her shoulder then twisting and flipping to catch it. She then from a full sit did a back flip landing back in he sit, probably never see that again!

She is a gorgeous cat and a real lover. We have 12 cats and although they all have great temperaments, there are those who dislike one cat or another. Farah is the only cat that everybody likes. We can house her with anyone.
