Litter of 12 born 07/10/2009.
I have noticed that the little one at the bottom is very badly bruised - he was tangled up in the paper and it had dried - I hope that she will sort him out, clean him up and feed him.
Day 2: 08/10/2009:
Taken this morning:
And this evening:
I think I have spotted at least one roan in there!
I am a bit concerned about the bruise on one of them, and there is something on the head of another, but I am hoping it is just birth trauma and that it will heal. Right now I am convinced I have 8 girls and 4 boys, but since I thought it was 10 and 2 this morning I'm not saying definitively yet.
Day 3 09/10/2009
Sadly we have lost one today. But we still have 11, so I hope they will stay with me. We definitely have at least one roan, but it is too early to tell if any of the potential Siamese babies will also be roan. Still definitely 2 boys, but I'm still not certain.
Day 4, 10/10/2008:
Today we definitely have the beginnings of markings, and maybe even some dumbo ears! I am still not 100% confident with telling this, so we shall see.
Day 6, 13/10/2008:
I am still convinced that there are some dumbos.
Sable (I think) girl I hope will be dumbo:
The two roans:
Day 7, 14/10/2008:
The babies are starting to get their fur through now.
Day 9, 16/10/2008:
I managed to catch a picture of mummy feeding:
The rest of the pictures from tonight:
We have 3 Burmese babies, all bucks, 2 of those rex. The 2 roans seem to be both sable, the splotchy girl is a rex, the full blazed roan is a dumbo and a buck. We have 3 Siamese kittens, 2 boys and 1 Siamese dumbo rex girl. The remaining 3 kittens are sable girls. We have one rex, one standard and one dumbo girl. My current plan is to keep one of these 3, either the rex or the dumbo girl.
Day 11 19/10/2009
Two of the babies are super-advanced and have PEEPERS!!!!
The rest of the babies:
And finally, the two girls that I am umming and ahhing between, the Sable dumbo girl who I really want to keep, and the Sable rex girl who I know I should keep.
Babies at 4.5 weeks:
Many apologies for the lack of updates. Babies and life have kept me busy. Here are lots of photos to make up for it. The babies were split tonight into boy and girl groups:
