So daughter gets cat. House cat. Arranges for spay. Cat escapes, comes back 2 days later. Yes we know where this is going.
So a litter of 6 were born yesterday.
Would love one myself but have a dog.
I will , for those interested at looking at cute kitten pictures, add a picture daily as I can.
I don't want this thread turning into a irresponsible cat owner thread.
I'm sharing the love of cuteness in these dark and depressing times.

my dog got attacked by a cat today , dog will probably woof a different story .
Any way . Mum is eating like a horse. Really good with the kittens . Like to take time out lying in her favourite spot in the window.
Daughter is keeping the little grey kitten, runt of the litter. We have called him/her Juno .
How old are they when you can sex them?

Is the dog ok?.

drinkingwineoutofamug · 24/02/2021 17:36

Fluffy , her pride more than anything. She tried to style it out. 2 bite marks to the shoulder and a paw swipe mark to her collar. Teach her to sniff around hedges 😬
Didn't stop her ice skating on the spot 5 mins later when she saw another .

Future reference though, a cat or dog for that matter can still be spayed if you suspect a pregnancy in the early weeks.

We had a rescue cat who had apparently been spayed. It turned out she hadn’t been🙄 and when the vet spayed her, she was in very early pregnancy so definitely can be done.

They’re gorgeous though, I’ll have them all. 🤣

Make sure mum gets spayed as soon as she can though.

Oh bless their tiny paws. Mum looks like she is doing really well but please make sure she is neutered as soon as possible.

Oh and you are totally getting a kitten 😂

PolarnOPirate · 24/02/2021 17:45

Look at their feet turned out like that 😭😍
I want some kitties so bad!

GerundTheBehemoth · 24/02/2021 17:46

They're adorable. The grey one looks like it has a fever coat (as do a couple of the others, but not so strongly) - if so, it will became darker with age.

Mrsrightagain · 24/02/2021 17:55

They are beautiful. I rescue cats and couldn't resist any of them 😻

drinkingwineoutofamug · 24/02/2021 18:00

She will be done. They all go the vets in a couple of weeks for a check and to reorganise the spay . Mum on house arrest . Windows firmly shut.

[quote drinkingwineoutofamug]@GerundTheBehemoth , intrigued what's a fever coat? [/quote]
It's when a kitten is born with a paler, more silvery coat than it should have (eg if it's genetically a black cat but is born with silver fur on parts of its body). It's usually because the mother goes through some kind of stress in her pregnancy.

The kitten on the left in the first of these photos has a fever coat - his head is black but body fur is silvery. The second photo is him as an adult, with his true coat colour.

Thank you @GerundTheBehemoth with the info about fever coat.

Daughter has possibly spotted another possible dad????
Lives across the road and is a silver tabby!
Where's the kitty version of jezzza Kyle when you need him.
2 possible fathers. One hanging around the back yard and 1 across the road lying in a sun patch!
Will ask her to try and get pics of the 2 Tom cats for comparison

Gorgeous photos, I remember how fun kittens are!

Fluffycloudland77 · 25/02/2021 13:02

The dog is being very cute, she’s obviously very proud of her plushie toy.

Both toms could be dad, they can conceive from different dads in each uterine horn.

CassandraCross · 25/02/2021 13:04

A cat can have kittens from two different fathers in the same litter, that might explain the silver grey kitten (my favourite, is that the one your daughter is keeping and you have called Juno?)

CassandraCross · 25/02/2021 13:05

The kitten puddle picture is adorable, you can't quite work out where one ends and another begins!

OMG that is adorable!

Though the bottom right one appears to be headless? 😂
