Jasmine... |
Sterling and Jasmine are littermate. They were born on 1/29 and are both silver babies. I've created a separate page for each one so I will have plenty of room to add more photos of each later. These are of Jasmine.
|
These 2 kids are still to little to determine if either will be breed or show quality, so for now, they are available as pets. I have several photos of each
Videos taken 3/28... |
These two babies are about a week older than in the still photos below. They've grown a little, but haven't really changed much. Jasmine is the lighter of the 2 and by nature a little more cautious. We are letting them run loose in the master bedroom by themselves for several hours each day for exercise and to get more used to us.

At the very start of this video, I thought I had Jasmine on the bed, but it was Sterling. When you don't see them together, they look so much alike, but Jas jumps up on the bed once we got started. Her little face is absolutely gorgeous. We're really taken back at how pretty both of these babies are. They both have the run of the bedroom for several hours each day. Mom loves to romp and play chase with them. Hope is still a young girl and is having a ball with these babies now that they are big enough to really play. She is terribly protective of them though. We have a HUGE double walk-in cage in the bedroom with 3 condos in it. We keep them in there when the doors are open and the other cats are allowed into the room. If Hope isn't inside where her babies, she will chase any cat that gets even close to the cage all the way down the stairs. The babies are completely safe inside, but mom doesn't care...
New photos taken 3/17... |
When Mike pulled them out just to get hands on them for a few minutes, I couldn't resist taking a couple of quick pictures... they were just TOO TOO Cute!
|
We'll give them a day or two to get more comfortable in the bedroom and away from their nursery cage with mom before we try for videos of these kids... BTW, mom is still with them to help with the transition. We should have some really cute video of these babies toward the end of the week.
Jasmine is a silver patched tabby. I asked Mike to hold her so you could see the curl in her ears, the color on her back and her nice big eyes. Both Jasmine and Sterling are just oh, so cute right now. I wasn't planning to take pictures of these two this morning. We just moved them into the bedroom where they are here with me all day while I'm on the computer and where we can just walk over and pick them up on and off all day long.

New photos taken 3/2...
|
Jas and Sterling are just 5 weeks old in these new photos taken on 3/2. They are plump and fluffy. You can see the silver undercoat showing through the silver top coat. The silver will become more dominate as they grow and they will become lighter in color.
|
The lighting in these photos makes these 2 kids look more brownish... that's just the lighting. The dark tips are really more blackish. Jasmine was much more timid this time out, but with more handling from us, they will both learn to LOVE the hands. When I would pick her up and just rub her all over, she melted into my hands.

Sterling and Jasmine... |
FIRST PHOTOS... They are 3 weeks old in the photos below.
|
I pulled them out of their nursery cage with mom for these photos. They were totally confused about where they were and why they were they were there. Sterling is on the left. Jasmine on the right. I put them on a shelf in front of a window with this white sheer under them to show their coloring. I tried to get a separate face shot of each, but Sterling kept moving towards the light behind him. They look just alike right now. You can see the silver on their chests and face. The silver will come in more as they mature.
