Miracle, Snodgrass and babies.Hi to all .I think I have finally figured out how to post pictures of my cats. My wee blind rescue kitten, Miracle, when we first got her. [IMG]http://  Miracle today.She is under the care of a specialist vet who deals with eye problems. Sadly, she will have to have one eye removed in the future, but at this stage she is perfectly happy with her limited sight in the other eye. [IMG]http://  Miracle and Snodgrass' babies. [IMG]http://  Snodgrass, my young colourpoint boy with two of his babies, Freddie and Dickens. [IMG]http://  Recent picture of Freddie, the wee kitty with the luxating patella. [IMG]http://  And finally ,this is a recent photo of young Betsy-May, the wee female in the litter. [IMG]http://  They are all very relaxed, laid back kittens and all three have no eye problems inherited from Miracle, thank goodness. We can only tell them apart through their eye colours - Freddie has green eyes, Dickens has bright blue eyes and Betsy-May has one green and one blue eye - although now the two boys are noticeably bigger than their sister.

Thanks Velvet. We don't know how old Miracle is exactly as she was one of a feral litter abandoned by their mother.She was the most sick of the 5 of them and not expected to live, hence the name Miracle. We think she was around 5 months old when she had the kittens but she was, and is, very small. You can understand how angry I was, both at myself at being so irresponsible and at my vet for refusing to spay her.The kittens are now 4 months old so Miracle is now 9 months. The recent picture of her was taken when she was 7 months old(2 months ago) She is still very small but she now eats a lot better and doesn't put her whole face in the food bowl. She was very very tiny and sick when we got her but it is wonderful what a lot of TLC, good food and vet care can do. We love her to bits |

They are all so beautiful and a credit to your love and care. I have a warm feeling for Snodgrass, he's a colourpoint like my dear late Posh  I think your babies will have a lovely temperament, are you planning to keep them all? Such a lovely family, you're blessed. |

Hi Posh Puss, thanks for your kind comments. And yes,Snodgrass is a colourpoint like your beautiful Posh. I have read about Posh when I was exploring the forums .How you must miss your baby. I have always liked colourpoints and have had a number of them over the years.They have all been seen as "rejects" because some fault makes them unsuitable.for showing .To me ,no animal is ever a reject. Snodgrass was the runt of the litter and now takes seizures after he caught toxoplasmosis.He has found his forever home with me. Sitting with him and cleaning him after a seizure is a small price to pay for his companionship and devotion. You will know what I mean as you ,too,have had the pleasure of being owned by a colourpoint. We are going to keep the kittens as we hand reared them all and they are a part of our family now.And I'm happy to say that the three people who badly wanted one of these babies, we referred on to a friend here in Christchurch who runs a cat rescue group, and all three are now the happy owners of a young rescue kitty. Who knows, you may have the opportunity to be qwned by another colourpoint one day and honour the memory of Posh in that way. |

Wee cuddle-bugs! Thanks goodness Miracle found you to care for her. I know very little about genetics, but find it strange that all the kittens take after Miracle with no colourpoint visible. |

All of them are just wonderful. And what a story their short little lives makes! The kittens have got those odd 'hammerhead' shaped heads that my Persian kittens had. Adorable; and the way you're looking after them all is very inspiring. x |
