My girl is having her kittens! First one is here squeaking and healthy!

Second is imminent.

I think she’ll have 4 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I really look forward to your photos - the kitties are so gorgeous. You’re really going to miss them when they leave. And we will all miss the pictures.

Very wise to have a plastic tree 😅 I think a Christmas tree is probably one of the best kitten toys.

One got inside the sofa on Christmas Day so I had to drag them out and they were covered in foam, little twit. Here are some pics. They are absolutely thriving.

Those kittens must think Earth was a very good choice of planet on which to be incarnated!
What bliss 😽🐾

@1reason

They really have. Scrump and Gubby (the BW ones) are the ones who like a good scrap, Tostada is greedy AF, and Minnie and Croissant are very calm.

Mum is getting frustrated as they are harder to round up for milk as a) they are eating solid food more and b) they are chaotic and just want to play and scrap.

@Kittenwatch
Thanks for all the photos you have posted.
So lovely to see them growing up fast.
They will be developing own personalities too...fun times!

Thank you for sharing your pics, OP, those kitties are gorgeous. It's lovely to be able to come here for my kitty fix. 🤣

Merry Christmas from The Kits who have discovered the curtains 👌🏾

There’s a sentence in a novel I’m very fond of, where the author describes kittens madly zooming up the curtains and then…. just hanging there, looking back over their shoulders straight at you, as though expecting a round of applause. 😸

Agapornis · 26/12/2025 20:19

Looks like they've discovered fighting too. Family fights - the true spirit of Christmas Grin

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 26/12/2025 17:12

It’s amazing, it’s like they defy gravity. Gorgeous age!

What I love is the bursts of mania followed by all sleeping at the same time. Each has a preferred place too.

@OccasionalHope end Jan - they’ll be 10 weeks which is the recommended time.

@Davros they have made Christmas magical and they are zooming around like you wouldn’t believe.

They are weaning brilliantly - eating well and nursing less. Very strong and active. Not getting the litter training as fast as we’d like but it’s fine.

Vet said all in perfect health so I’m very pleased.

We will miss them so much but I’m so excited for the people who will have them to love ❤️

Naughty things, play fighting and trying to destroy the soft furnishings 😹

OccasionalHope · 26/12/2025 13:56

They're so adorable. When do they go to their homes?

Cute sleepy cuddle puddle!
So sweet.
I have never understood the view that black /white cats are less popular as they are not as photogenic as other colours.

Davros · 22/12/2025 19:04

Lovely clump of kittens

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 22/12/2025 15:10

Sacks worth sounds good for the collective. Like on The Office where Oscar asks Angela his many of her cats the council took and she replies “2 sacks worth” 😁

Love the puddle 🤗

MistressoftheDarkSide · 22/12/2025 10:39

Kitten cuddle puddle 🥰 Thank you, I needed that 😘

ObelixtheGaul · 22/12/2025 10:36

Whilst I know kittens are, collectively, a 'litter', following that last picture I think 'pile' might be more appropriate...

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 22/12/2025 10:31

I love their little fluffy ears!

Daleksatemyshed · 22/12/2025 10:27

They're so sweet all snuggled up together

@Millytante

It photographs surprisingly well, doesn’t it? Kits love it - they can claw it it very well 🤣
