New arrivals this week

[Fingolfin]

This pic is them an hour old or so:

And then a couple days old, mamma cat was out so I snapped a pic of them together sleeping...

 

[Boanerges]

Yay!!! What was the male to female ratio you got/

 

[Fingolfin]

Apparently it is hard to sex them til two weeks old... I am assuming one boy anyway, as the black one is bigger/heavier than the others by a 10% margin!

Kittens are so cute. I'll take the Orange one. JUST KIDDING!!!
We have all the cats we need, all spayed and neutered, from live trapping ferrals and dumped castoffs but I do so love kittens.

 

[jellybean]

aww they are too adorable

 

[ErinKelley]

Aahhhhhwww

Baby kitties are so fun and cute...then they grow up and make you their slave...
And I just wanted to ad that you should be able to tell the sex right away. Compare them to each other to find whats what. Unless of course you have all one sex...

pretty sure they orange ones are male, i have never seen a female orange cat, heard its a genetic trait( im most likely wrong)

 

[Fingolfin]

Upon further inspection there are two boys (black, orange) one girl (calico) and one we aren't quite sure of! (orange)

The calico's eyes started cracking open a bit yesterday!

 

[halfwaynowhere]

calico is definitely a girl. Most orange tabbies are male, but we had a litter of all females once, so its not as much of a rule as the calico=girl thing.

Kittens are so precious!

 

[JohnEDove]

Actually somewhere around 1/4th of Orange Cats are Females just like about 1 of every 3000 Calico/Tortoise Shell Cats are male.

Mamma cat wondering what I'm up to...

The 4 of them getting at mom! I like what the calico kitty is doing, see its paw? As its drinking, its doing the tiniest purr(!) and kneading its paws on mom as it goes! Too cute.

 

[jellybean]

love the new pics. my kitten still does what your calico does, the kneading when snuggling in. daisy is 6months old now but i wake up to her dong it to my pillow or myself. when we first had her i woke up because i had a pain in my left breast!. yep it was daisy thinking i was her mother
are you keeping all teh kittens? if so have you got names ofr them yet. mom cat is stunning aswell

 

[Fingolfin]

Plan is to keep one, maybe the calico...
Names are Jack (the black one), Calleigh (calico), Stubby and Chubby (the orangeys)! Kids picked them all...
I think mom is a stunner too, shes sort of unusual looking. We 'bonded' when we first met a few years ago! She kept coming up to me and talking, and not for other people. I would leave and come back, she would see me and start mewing and such.... too cute!

It's good you don't live around here. My wife and step daughter would probably go over and steal them
