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 precisely wished to appreciate you all over again. I'm not certain the things I could possibly have undertaken in the absence of the type of hints shown by you about such a concern. Completely was an absolute horrifying issue in my position, however , spending time with your specialised approach you managed it made me to cry for delight. Extremely happy for your guidance and pray you find out what a great job that you're putting in educating the rest all through a site. Most probably you haven't got to know any of us.

I in addition to my friends have already been taking note of the great tips and hints found on your website and before long I got a horrible suspicion I never expressed respect to the site owner for those strategies. Those ladies became absolutely glad to learn all of them and have now in actuality been tapping into these things. Appreciation for indeed being so accommodating and then for finding variety of ideal issues most people are really eager to discover. My very own honest apologies for not expressing gratitude to earlier.

I want to express some thanks to you for bailing me out of such a setting. Because of looking through the internet and seeing thoughts that were not helpful, I thought my life was well over. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the difficulties you've resolved through your entire short post is a critical case, as well as the ones which might have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not encountered your web page. That talents and kindness in touching all the pieces was very helpful. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't discovered such a point like this. I can at this time relish my future. Thanks a lot so much for this specialized and result oriented help. I will not think twice to refer your blog to anybody who should receive guide about this subject matter.

My wife and i ended up being very relieved that Edward managed to deal with his analysis through your precious recommendations he came across when using the web page. It's not at all simplistic to just be handing out hints that many the rest have been making money from. And we know we've got the website owner to be grateful to for this. These illustrations you have made, the straightforward web site navigation, the friendships you can aid to create - it's all awesome, and it's making our son in addition to us recognize that that matter is enjoyable, and that is wonderfully vital. Thank you for the whole thing!
