Ultimate Kittlets...

There's not much that comes sweeter than a baby...

It's been a very long time since we've had any kitties on our farm.  To our delight, a month or so ago, we noticed that Slinky, the Ultimate Kitty , appeared to be expecting!  One morning, she appeared in the cow stable, clearly no longer pregnant.  However, there was no sign of her babies, and she didn't appear to be nursing.  So...we sadly assumed that her babies had come to an unfortunate end...Until a few weeks ago, when one morning she came down around the barn carrying a clone of herself in her mouth! 

Apparently it was time to introduce her babies to us! 

These three have to be the cutest, healthiest kitties we've ever had!  Would you dare to argue?!


And Slinky has proven herself not only to be the "Ultimate Kitty", but now she's the "Ultimate Mommy"!  I don't think I've ever seen a mother cat that is so protective and so smart...the dogs would not even dare to think of coming near!  This week she's trying to teach them to hunt.

We've been getting a lot of enjoyment out of these babies... I guess we'll call them the "Ultimate Kittlets"!

  8. Lovely, they are so cute. I miss my puss, sadly he lived his life out and I decided to not have a cat anymore. I've had one nearly all my life and it still feels like something is missing from my life. Thank God I have my little Jack Russell, Lucy. Thanks for sharing. Maa.

  9. This year we had kittens for the first time in ages. The mom is not as attentive as we could wish. Of 6 we still have 4 but not sure how many will go all the way. It is surprising to get all white kittens from 2 non-white parents. We got 2, and a dark calico, 2 grey and an orange.
    I do see bottle feeding in my future.
