One usual male and one usual female born
13th May 2010 from Olathe Crystal Blade (Blade)
x Crystalpaws Cinder-Toffee (Cinders)
Both reserved.
Cinders had quite a difficult
labour due to the first kitten being very big and breech! This kitten
appeared to be stuck and we were just about to call the vet when, suddenly,
Cinders gave a really big push and he was born. He was very lifeless at
first but we managed to get him breathing and he even started to suckle once
his brother and sister were born. We thought he was going to survive but
sadly he died the next day - I think his birth was just too traumatic for
him.
Cinders is proving to be a fantastic mum and her other two kittens are real
fatties!
4 days old
At nearly two weeks old, Cinders' kittens are doing really well and are
starting to open their eyes. Cinders is being a fantastic, relaxed mum. I
think the female is a pale usual colour which is making her look like she
could be silver but I'm reserving judgment on this one at the moment!

At nearly four weeks old, Cinders' kittens are still real fatties! Cinders
is proving to be a fantastic mum. The female is a pale usual which is quite
a nice contrast with her brother, especially as they are going to take over
the same home!

At five weeks old, Cinders' kittens our out of their kitten box and are
eating their mum's food. They are still really chunky kittens and love
chasing each other around.

At ten weeks old, Cinders' kittens have had their first vaccinations and vet
checks. They are now enjoying some fresh air playing in our cat run that is
attached to the conservatory. They have also decided that our big cat
climbing frame is their bed with Tas's kittens
and all the adult cats have been relegated to the chairs!

couple of days.
