Thankyou for your kind comments.
A bit of a write up update rather than pictures as we've seen a fair few!
Bella is doing well, she's really taking to motherhood well..and she insists on everyone knowing she has babies, in the nicest possible way.
Kittenwise...their characters are developing really quickly, big ginger Maxwell is a silly soul..who just wants to be near ma & milkbar, he is by far the largest andquietest.
The little ginger and white boy, so called Dexter at the moment, is a charming we soul. I have a big soft spot for him [will explain below]. He's a sweetie...he was by far the smallest but has caught up a fair bit and is waddling around the box ever so much now. Independent soul!
Little tabby girl, Twix or Cinnamon as she is to be called, she's 2nd largest after Maxwell and a hissyfit girl, always can hear her squeaking from the box.
Little unamed tortie/tabby n white girl [the one who everyone wants!] is a bully, she climbs on the rest and is forever causing Bella's heart to skip a beat by dissapearing down her back or underneath her at feeding times.
We had a good chat with the prospective owners this evening,Cinnamon/twix is definatley going to the family friends, no question. Maxwell is definately staying with us.
And then there are the other two..suitable homes lined up, and despite what I said earlier I
think the little tortie/tabby girl will be going to my best friends family, as they really REALLY do want her. But I think...just for the fact I'm a ginger fiend, and they are never apart in the box that 'Dexter' [see, I couldn't help but name him..definately a sign], that the little white n ginge may stay aswell. We discussed it and a pair of kittens would be nice for company for each other, and the boys have really captured our hearts already. The neighbours/friends of ours who were interested in him have said they do not mind if we choose to keep him [they will go to the local RSPCA shelter] but have said if however we do see that it would be for the best he went off to a new home like his sisters, they will take him with open arms.
Irrespective about homes really, only five days old..but the main thing is
whichever homes the kits go too, they will be lifelong and well loved.
Houselife wise....it's still very much hustle n bustle n mayhem as usual.
Clementine is not impressed, but she never has been when we've brought new babies in..so to have four in 'her' house is bound to be a bit of a shock. She will come round eventually, her nose just gets pushed out of joint easily.
The dogs however, think they are great! Florrie has retired from normal life to spend all day sleeping just a little way from the box..making regular 'nosey' trips to make sure it's business as usual in there. Its nice really, as when Bella comes out for a bit of 'ma time' she has someone to keep her company bar humans.
Ralph just is a whimp, he gets to have a look every now n then.and a sniff, n hes great...strangely calm, yet as soon as the kits sniff him or make any noise he RUNS, literally, and hides somewhere until the big bad babies have gone from view
They've taken it better than I expcted.
The kittens are steadily gaining weight and condition, all VERY large and fat babies. It would seem 'Maxwell' has a chance of being a longhair/semi longhair..as his coat is substantially thicker than all the others.
So generally all doing good and growing, not paying all too much attention to which homes they will be going too when older though...things happen so must focus on making sure they are all okay
So you are keeping the big ginger tom then?!
