11/14 photos and video... |
I loved all the pictures of Brittany's babies that we took today... but these little fluffy color point kittens are always, always!! too cute for words.

Brittany's babies are always super sweet and can't get enough affection from us.... always, always! That comes from mom. She is so incredibly bonded to me (she's like a shadow to me), that she impresses her babies with that same desire for our attention to the babies. A mom's influence on her babies is imprinted from the time they are born. I am Brittany's whole world. So, obviously her babies are going to want the attention from the humans as much as mom. Every one of Brittany's babies will be outstanding, loving family members.
Here are Dusty's latest pics and short video.

I took new pictures of Brittany's babies for you to see how they have grown and how their colors are developing. I'm not creating new pages for each kitten yet, but will when we take our next photos.

We brought them out 2 at a time. At this age, it's kind of hard to distinguish between them, so I'm looking for some small significant marking on each one. I'll point out these little differences when I upload the pictures. First a slideshow of Dustin, Brittany's seal point boy and Dawn, a seal and white bicolor girl. Usually, the kittens want to sniff around when we first bring them out for pictures, but not Dawn. She started chasing the little frog the moment we put her down. Dustin decided to join in but he wanted to look around a little first. Dustin is the darkest of these 4 kittens. Dawn is probably the lightest. In the bright lights, its easier to see the seal and white areas.
The pictures below are of Diva and Heather. Here's how I'm telling them apart. As they grow, the distinguishing features will become easier to see... but Diva is much lighter in color and has distinct 'M' marking on her forehead which is the 'lynx' distinction. Heather is a litter darker, but her distinguishing feature (for me at least) is the white mouth and chin. For personality, they are both really outgoing, except that I've nicknames Diva our little 'piss-ant'. From the time she could walk around, she's the one that screamed to get out of the cage. She was just modeling her mom. Brittany is so attached to me that she can barely be away from me, even to take care of her babies. Brittany taught her from day 1 to want to get out and be with the humans. She may end up being the more strong willed on the group. For now, she's definitely very outgoing. Heather is SOLD.
9/19... I promised better pics of Brittany's babies. I took a bunch because I they were moving around so much that I had a hard time getting what I liked for the different kittens. She has 3 girls and 1 boy. Because it was so hard to get good shots of each one, I took a couple of short videos to show you their colors and why I was having trouble. The little boy is the darker one, The really light girl is already a pistol. She's constantly whining and scratching to get our of her litter cage. We couldn't be happier with this litter. They are all beautiful! Here goes.....
9/2...I tried to take a couple of quick pictures to show you their colors... I'll replace these. Obviously, it was too dark plus, mom kept getting in the way. She's such an attention hound that we can't open the cage door to look at these babies and mom is right there in front. We'll bring them out and put them under the light in the bathroom tomorrow for better pictures.
