5/16. These are videos we took this afternoon. They were too big to attach to emails so I'm uploading here for you.
5/14... I took these new pics of he babies in their nursery run only because they were to cute to pass up. All 3 of Colette's babies perk up as soon as they hear us talking to them and they come over to one of the doors for us to pet them. All 3 of these babies are going to be super affectionate to their new owners. If you are interested in one of Colette's babies, please don't put off emailing me.

5/6... I really wanted to get some video so show you how affectionate these kittens are, but the babies don't always cooperate with our plans. I did get these cute still shots though. All 3 of Colette's babies rush to see us as soon as we go into the nursery to check on them. And the LOVE being petted and handled. That's really what I wanted so show you in some videos, but maybe next time.
A lot of times when we first bring the babies out of their nursery cage for photos, they are more interested in the new surroundings and smells. We try to tease them with a small toy, but we have trouble keeping them in this small space. This little girl just loves to be petted. She has since she was just a few days old. Mike and I make it a point to be sure to visit the new kittens a couple times a day from the day they are born to get our hands on them. We don't have to handle them a lot, just enough to imprint them with the feel of our hands, our scent, and the sound of our voices. We also pet mom when we visit so the babies will see that mom also approves of our attention. It's amazing how important these first few days and weeks are to teach the kittens to look forward to the attention of their humans.
5/1... The photos below were taken on 5/1. We had just moved them to our 8ft run so they can exercise their little legs with all the extra tunnels,, shelves and small triple circled condo. They are beyond cute. This run a ;little cluttered, but while they are growing, this keeps them safe. They snuggle in one of them, but as soon as they hear my voice, they all come out onto this triple circle condo that we had especially made just for the babies for me to rub their little backs and pick them up. They are already really affectionate/
The blue cream and torti are both girls. The color point is a boy. Below are photos of the blue cream girl. and below that is the torti girl.

When the kittens are this little, we line the cage with strips of cardboard so they can't crawl through the wire cage. It's jus another one of the "safety features" we've learned to do.

4/22.. Colette is taking such good care of her babies... they are starting to crawl around, but she makes it really hard to get good photos of the babies because every time we open this cage, mom thinks she comes out for our attention and approval and then goes back into this little house for the babies to curl up next to her. Colette has always had really beautiful babies. The little color point is a boy. The 2 darker kittens are both girls. The torti girl is already starting to show us some really interesting markings. The little blue cream is got such a pretty little face. We'll get some better pics in another week when they are out walking and playing with each other. I initially planned to take them into another room for these new pictures.... I'll do that next time. All 3 of these kittens are all available.
4/1.The pictures below show a little of how the colors are developing.
3/29..Below is a first photo of Colette and her babies. I try to add new photos as they grow so our visitors can see how they are developing.
