The World Just Got A Whole Lot Scarier

Well at least for these little guys...

Three new sets of eyes opened today.

Three new babies finally got to see what their mama looks like.

Three little kittens met a monster today. (Scary!)

Three little kittens got to make funny faces at a camera.

Three little kittens got to see each other for the first time.

Three little kittens saw me today! And by the looks of things.. they are not too pleased.

Three little kittens got to go exploring today.

Three little kittens discovered how big and bright the world is.

I think it was all too overwhelming.

Welcome To Earth!

Hey Little Fuzzy Kittens,

Today is your first day here on Earth. I hope you like it! I hope you like me... I will do my best to help Measle care for you. I will do my best to keep Mowgli off of you. He is very curious. I will buy you toys and delicious food! I will give you snuggles and kisses, and try my very best to find you good homes!

Love Rachael

I never officially announced Measle was expecting. I was planning on it, I just figured she wasn't getting fat enough for pregnancy pictures.  A few days ago I thought about when she was supposed to have her babies.. It seems as if she has been pregnant for so long! I figured she would have them on Tuesday.

She did.

It all started with Mowgli being a monster and trying to play rough with her. She seemed extra annoyed. I decided to put her in our big closet. (Trust me, it's huge) So I put her in there with her litter box, her food and water and a box full of towels. Just in case.

Right before bed we started to hear some tiny kitty voices.

I went in to see two tiny kitties mewing with their mom. How darling.

Then I noticed one little guy on the other side of the closet. All alone.

I scooped him up, he was ice cold. I looked around and saw that he had fallen into the water dish! While the other kittens had been nursing this little one was freezing to death! I quickly became bossy and told Taylor to get me a bottle of warm water, throw a towel in the dryer and get me a warm rag. I cleaned the little guy up and did my best to warm him. He wasn't moving very much and I was very scared for him.

Measle wouldn't feed him, she kept pushing him away. He couldn't eat! I sat with him until 4:30 in the morning trying to keep him warm, trying to convince Measle that he was indeed alive and hungry. Finally he began to eat. Measle started snuggling him. I went to bed feeling hopeful.

I woke up several times and checked on my new little friend to make sure he was warm and eating.

He was.

They are all doing good.

This is the "Get out. I jut gave birth, I am breast feeding. Get that camera out of here." face

This is the kitten's daddy. Aint he a charmer?

Oh how I love little furry creatures. I just might keep the little guy who almost didn't make it. I have a soft spot for the underdogs...er undercats?

I will keep you updated!
