VK (visiting kitty) becomes a mama!
| Posted on March 31, 2015 at 11:50 PM |
I have grandcats!
A friendly stray kitty showed up in our backyard near the end of January. She fit right in with our backyard (feral) cats, and we let her hang around while we talked about finding a home for her. After several weeks she started looking rather chubby--yes, pregnant!
My guess is that her previous owner observed some mating activity and dumped her. VK (or Vicki, as we sometimes call her) gave birth on March 23. The first picture shows the babies the day they were born.
This next picture is the kittens today...
And my MIL had the cute idea of putting the kittens in an Easter basket:
I've been weighing them every day and will post a chart of their weights soon!
The red tabby is the biggest and I've named him Thor. There are two plain gray tabbies, one gray tabby bicolor, and one black kitty.
I'm not absolutely certain of their genders so far; half guessing here. The lighter gray tabby is Dorian, the dark gray tabby is Dougless, the bicolor is Elke, and the black is Luciano. The bicolor is spoken for by my friend Laura Dabney, so I was thinking of her as "LK" for Laura's kitty. Since I think that one's a girl, I decided to call her Elke. The black one has the loudest meow, so I named him after Pavarotti. Dorian got the name because he's gray. 
Dougless, because she's dark gray (DG). Thor, because he's so honkin' big.
On the day of their birth, Dorian and Thor tied for biggest with 4.1 oz each. Now Dorian is the runt! He was so far behind his siblings that I started supplementing his diet last night. I'm giving him goat's milk with a syringe. He was the biggest gainer today, so I'm hoping he'll be okay. He seems healthy and perky, just slower to grow.
The kittens' eyes are starting to open; Thor had one eye partly open yesterday, but the other is still firmly closed. Luciano has both eyes mostly open as of today. They're still mostly just eating and sleeping, but they creep around a bit more than they used to. Their legs have gotten sturdier and they feel more substantial, but they are still tiny, helpless creatures.

I wish to show some thanks to this writer for bailing me out of this type of circumstance. After looking throughout the internet and meeting views which are not powerful, I was thinking my entire life was gone. Being alive without the approaches to the problems you have sorted out by means of the website is a critical case, as well as those that could have badly affected my entire career if I hadn't encountered your web site. Your competence and kindness in taking care of almost everything was crucial. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't come across such a point like this. It's possible to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for this reliable and result oriented guide. I will not hesitate to suggest your blog post to anybody who needs to have tips on this issue.

I wanted to write you the very small note so as to give many thanks again for your personal amazing principles you've discussed in this case. It is quite incredibly open-handed of people like you to offer publicly what exactly a lot of people might have distributed for an electronic book to end up making some dough on their own, mostly since you could possibly have done it if you ever considered necessary. Those things as well worked to be the good way to recognize that other individuals have the same fervor really like my very own to understand great deal more around this issue. I believe there are lots of more fun sessions ahead for individuals who read carefully your site.
