Two blue males, one blue female and one
fawn
female born 10th March 2008 from Storm x
Ghost
(All Reserved.)
Ghost has had her kittens with no problems and even had them at a nice time
of day, so I was there to see them all born (she usually manages to have
them in the early hours of the morning between my checks on her!). They are
all very big strong healthy kittens and are gaining weight fast.
At nearly two weeks old, Ghost's kittens are opening their eyes. They are
all really big fat kittens and Ghost is a fantastic mother.

Ghost's kittens are now three and a half weeks and have changed so much
over the last week. They are now in the really cute phase where they look
like miniature cats. They are just starting to look over the edge of their
kitten box - it usually only takes kittens a couple of days to then work out
how to climb out!

At five weeks old, Ghost's kittens are out of their kitten box and running
around the conservatory. I don't think Ghost likes them running around as
she keeps carrying them back to their bed, only to see them run straight
back out!! They are just starting to eat solid food. One of the blue males
and the blue female seem to prefer dried food - they've been tucking into
their mum's for a few days.

At seven weeks old, Ghost's kittens are now running around the house and
enjoy playing on the stairs. Their favourite sleeping places are the dog's
beds! Even though these are really big chunky kittens, Ghost still looks
really fit - you wouldn't think she was feeding four big kittens still!

At nine weeks old, Ghost's kittens
have had their first vaccinations and the vet was impressed with how well
grown they all are! Their colour and ticking is really coming through now.

At eleven weeks old, Ghost's
kittens have had another growth spurt and are suddenly looking quite grown
up! The blues have lost their fluffy kitten fur and have really nice
ticking. The fawn is still a bit fluffy but her ticking is coming through.
They all now have names (Taz has a wet leg due to her sister dribbling in
her sleep!!!)

At twelve weeks old, Ghost's
kittens are enjoying climbing and playing on the shelves in the cat-run on
the side of the conservatory. They also love to sleep on the shelves when
it's nice and sunny. They will be having their second vaccinations in a
couple of days and will be going off to their new homes a few days later, so
these will be the last pictures of them.
