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.

Needed to send you this tiny remark to help say thanks a lot again with the awesome knowledge you've featured in this case. It has been really particularly open-handed with people like you in giving publicly all a number of people could have distributed for an e-book in order to make some bucks on their own, especially since you might well have done it if you decided. Those good ideas as well worked to be a easy way to recognize that the rest have similar keenness really like mine to understand significantly more in regard to this condition. I think there are thousands of more pleasant periods in the future for folks who take a look at your blog.

I want to show some appreciation to the writer just for bailing me out of this difficulty. As a result of researching through the world-wide-web and seeing recommendations that were not powerful, I believed my life was well over. Living without the strategies to the problems you have sorted out through this review is a crucial case, and ones that would have badly affected my career if I hadn't discovered your site. Your personal skills and kindness in handling the whole lot was valuable. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't encountered such a solution like this. It's possible to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks a lot so much for the expert and amazing guide. I will not hesitate to recommend your site to anybody who desires tips on this subject.

I must express my thanks to the writer for bailing me out of such a condition. Because of looking through the search engines and meeting solutions which were not beneficial, I figured my life was over. Living without the answers to the problems you've sorted out all through your entire posting is a serious case, and the kind that would have in a wrong way affected my career if I hadn't encountered your site. Your own personal know-how and kindness in controlling the whole thing was precious. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a solution like this. I'm able to at this moment look forward to my future. Thank you so much for this expert and sensible help. I won't be reluctant to propose your site to any person who wants and needs tips about this problem.
