Brittany's "Color Point Girl"...Click any photo to enlarge it.
|
Brittany had 3 babies on 3/9... The 2 boys have been sold together. They will be moving to Ariz when they are about 10 wks old. The colorpoint girl is also sold. All 3 were spoken for by people with a Reserve Kitten Sales Agreement which give them first pick of any future or current litters.

Brittany is a bicolor... frequently called a "calico" although that's not an accepted color designation in either CFA or TICA. She is one of our smaller girls and has always, ALWAYS giving us incredible babies in colors and personality. Brittany absolutely ADORES me and she always teaches that same affection for us to her kids. Babies learn a lot from their moms from the day they are born. Babies will model what they see in their moms. Brittany has always taught her babies to welcome our attention from the first times we start to handle them.

"Handy" is a seal lynx point boy. He is a Grand Champion in CFA. We had so much fun showing him. He was absolutely beautiful and he knew it. The judges loved him, but even more than that, people would stop and ooh and ahhh over him whenever we would have his laying on our grooming stand in from of our benching cage. He would just sit there and pose for them as if to say, "Yes, I'm so pretty. Feel free to admire me." Handy has always had a great personality and he always passes that same sweet temperament on to his kids.

4/22... We brought Brittany's 3 babies into one of the bedrooms to give them lots of room too move around in so we could take new pictures. We've never done this before so it was kind of an experiment just to see how it would go. We definitely got a good look at their different personalities. This boys wanted to look around but this little CP girl was immediately focused on the little toy. She's obviously going to be a real player. She would wander off from time to time, but as soon as she saw me trying to tease one of the boys with the toy, she would immediately step in and dominate the game. I have lots of still photos of her and a couple of videos. I'll get them all posted today. Below is a slideshow of the stills
4/1... Brittany's babies are 3&1/2 weeks in these photos. For more pics, go to the page for the boys. This little girl is in a couple of them too but I took these to focus on this little girl's color and size.
These top 3 closeups of this girl show the dark rings on the tail, a little color on her face and color on her paws, It looks like that little right paw is going to have a little pink on it... if it is pink, and she has pink paw pads, she could be considered a tortii, but it's way to early to go there. Because she has Opie for a father, she could turn out to be a chocolate point....again, too early to tell. Let's give it another week at least to make that determination.

First photos of these babies were taken when they were about a week old. The eyes weren't open yet. These were the photos I sent to people with Reserve Kitten Sales Agreements. The picture just below them were taken this morning (3/20). They are just starting to open their eyes. This little girl doesn't have a name yet so for now, I'm just calling her "Brittany's Color Point Girl". Color points have a tendency to look solid white for their first few weeks. The red genes always develop slower than the silver or the seal. We're going to be watching her the next couple of weeks to see what color she decides to be.
The silver boy is behind her back leg. The CP girl is on her tummy. The blue boy is under her front paw. I have 2 other pictures I took of her with her babies. You can see the babies a little better in them.
The babies were all sleeping when I went into the room for these photos. Once mem has fed the babies and they fall asleep, she usually leaves them alone in this little bed and posts guard on 1 of the 2 carpeted shelves above this little "house" to give them lots of room. Brittany is a really smart mom. She knows that their little skeletons are still soft and if they get caught either behind her of under her while she's sleeping, they could get hurt.... so she gives them all the room they need to move around and she can nap knowing they are safe and sound. But when I started picking them up one at a time for face shots, she immediately jumped back into the bed to get them back to sleep. I decided only to take photos of the color point girl and the blue boy because mom obviously wanted her kids back in their bed ... I'll take new photos of them in a week or so when they are moving around more on their own.
