March 1st 2011
We have been busy birthing new kittens. Three new kittens arrived February 27th late at night, and then 12 hours later 6 more came into our cattery. Misty is a good mom but 6 kittens is overwhelming when her largest litter so far has been 3, so just in case I moved 2 of the little ones into Dessy's nest for fostering. Dessy had 3 kittens just a few hours earlier and she is used to large litters of 5 and 6 kittens, so I thought better safe than sorry.... Everything has been working out great and all the babies are healthy and happy. The moms are doing great.
Tiffany is our next mom to have babies and she should have them within the next week. Dessy is like clock work, very punctual but some mommies like to bake the babies a little more of a little less, so I give them a more open window of time for when they are due.
Himalayans have been few and far between lately but with Harry our Seal Point Male Stud starting his studding career with 6 babies from Misty, (4 of which we think will be Himi's) we should have the Himalayans that our clients have been asking for. Remember Himi's are born white and as they age their points darken, so we are just guessing at this point two days after their birth. But with ten years of looking at kittens I an pretty confident they will be himi's but the colors are still to be determined.
