Finally! A week ago – on the 5 of May – fick Nellie got three cute kittens! Everything went quickly and nicely. One day before the expected birth, we left home to do some quick shopping, Nellie lay peacefully asleep. When we got home an hour later, she had gone to bed in the nesting box and two kittens had arrived! Ten minutes later the third came and then it was done!
There are two girls and one boy, they weighed around 100 g when they were born. All three gain weight nicely, they eat and sleep. Nellie takes such good care of them, she is a super mom and has plenty of milk. The girls will get some darker point color, the male will become lighter.
We have established that “a week into May” is an excellent time of year to be born, according to Nellie. She herself was born on the 9 of May, had her first litter the 8 of May and now the second litter on the 5 of May. It will be a lovely summer for us this year too, we already love these kitties!
In the coming week, we can expect them to begin to open their eyes and also begin to hear. When they are two weeks old, we will take pictures of each one, they will get their names and then the litter will get its own page here.
