Usual (black) silver male, sorrel silver male,
blue silver male and usual (black) silver
female born 19th April 2007 from Storm
x Crystal
Crystal had her kittens with no
problems. She gave birth in the early hours between the times that I checked
her!! She's very good at showing no sign of her babies arriving until they
are there!! The males are very big and fat. The female is smaller, so I am
supplementing her (hopefully she will be okay) - she seems quite strong but
I think she may be sharing a nipple with one of her fat brothers!

At one week old, all of Crystal's kittens are doing really well - including
the little girl, who no longer needs supplementing as she is now gaining
more weight daily than her brothers with no supplement!! I was a little
concerned about her last week but she has now nearly doubled her birth
weight - the boys have just doubled theirs today!

At two and a half weeks, Crystal's kittens are growing fast and have now
entered the really cute phase. They are beginning to play with each other
and are curious about their surroundings. They all look a bit sleepy in
these pictures because they had just woken up!!

At four weeks old, Crystal's kittens are nearly able to climb out of their
kitten box - I don't think it will be long before we have the first
escapee!! They are all growing well and are now at the really cute,
photogenic age.

and are now running around the kitten room. They have all started to eat
solid food and are growing up fast!

At eight weeks old, Crystal's kittens are spending most of their time
downstairs with the adult cats and are getting used to all the usual
household noises.

Ghost's kittens all the good hiding places downstairs when it's
bedtime!!

At twelve weeks old, Crystal's kittens have had their second vaccinations
and will soon be going off to their new homes. Unfortunately the people who
were going to have the female have had a change of circumstances and are no
longer able to have her, so we are looking for a lovely home for her.
