These aren't our kittens; but it looks almost like them. And they're at the same stage. Ours are cuter.
Ok; bile out of system, thanks for your patience.
All 5 little kitties are doing just fine; they were exceptionally tiny (like the size of mice) because she is a very small cat and there were five of them and they don't SEEM any bigger, just a bit plumper. But it's REALLY adorable (I can't get pictures yet because my good camera went missing many months ago out of nowhere and the one we have needs really bright light; which neither mom nor the babies wants right now) because while their faces don't look right yet, nor their little chicken legs, their bodies and tails are just like these TINY little perfect H0 model cats; little teeny tiny stripes one of them has all down its body right down to the raccoon tail (but grey/dark grey not rust).
And on two of them it looks like just the very inside corners of the eyes are starting to open. If they actually get mobile and aren't much bigger...well jeez, they're gonna get creamed; they better grow. Even if it would be hilarious; they're like hamsters or something. But as I suspected, she's a very very good mama and they are quite content.
Only thing is our big giant old tomcat...first time she came out of the closet to eat and drink, he hissed at her. And he's been hissing at her ever since. We've scolded him and yeah, I gave him a swat at the haunch, a light one - he knows he's being bad and he just gets really pissy with ME then. Oh he wouldn't dare hiss, but he gives me the stinkeye. And my husband has tried too; it's quite obvious the cat knows what he's being scolded for and he just gets pissy with us. But it's sad, because she just looks up at us like, "Why is he doing that? I didn't do anything!" He'll even stop, sniff at her, then hiss again. Bastard. He won't attack or anything; he's never killed anything in his life much less fought with anything. Actually, when he goes outside the birds divebomb him and all he does is look up and start talking to them. True story; only thing he ever "killed"- I'm thinking he all of a sudden after a year or two killed something and that seemed weird. He's walking up to the house with something dark and fuzzy in his mouth. Turned out to be a glove. Well, he brought it home, anyway. Now this girl kitty, she was like 3 months old when she started killing. Brought the dam thing right in the house and started playing with it. I was like uh, no. Not in here. So I'm not worried he's gonna hurt them; but normally he likes to play with the other animals (he played with my dog; or he tried; the dog was terrified of him. Well the cat was like 3 times his size) so I was hoping he'd play with the little guys too. Well I'm sure they'll all work it out, but I don't like to see him unhappy and making her wonder what's wrong. Ah well, they're gonna be so cute when they open their eyes and get mobile. And right now it's just fun to check out their little colors and stripes and watch them for a few minutes. She likes more privacy than the last mama cat we had; but no problem.
