Bellabee and Opie... |
Bellabee had 4 babies on 6/11. Bellabee is a chocolate torti and Opie (full name is Curl Essence Obsessed with Chocolate, or "Opie") is a chocolate smoke. We expected more chocolates, but from the photos of one of the little boys, it looks like this little guy will be a chocolate colorpoint.... maybe both, but the one on the left for sure.

If you want to see what these babies will look like in another couple of weeks, go look at the SOLD KITTENS for Autumn's little seal lynx point boy and red girl.
The two colorpoints are both boys. We'll come up with names next week when I take new photos. The one with the dark nose is a chocolate point. The one with the lighter face is a blue point (we think... the color will be easier to determine in a week or so).

Jor-El... the lighter chocolate boy... |
I've created separate pages for these 2 little boys so I can add new photos as they grow. I've named the darker chocolate boy Kal-El and the lighter chocolate boy Jor-El. Kal-El was Superman's name on Krypton. Jor-El was Superman's father.

New Photos taken 9/22.... |
We haven't updated photos for Jor-El because Mike has been considering keeping him to show him next year. He's just so pretty and sweet that we've gotten really attached to him.

When I decided to take these pictures, the blinds were closed which is why these photos are a little dark. I wanted to take the pics before he noticed me paying attention to him and changed his pose. Mike opened the blinds for the other pictures.
Joe El is super playful and even more affectionate. We still have him in the bedroom with the other kittens but mostly just to keep them company. Several kittens have gone to their new homes this week and we don't want to upset the dynamic in the room right now. We plan to introduce him to the rest of the house and the adults next weekend.

And at 4 weeks of age... |
WHAT A DIFFERENCE a couple of weeks makes! Look at him now. This is when they really start getting cute.

These two really surprised me. In their cage with mom in the nursery, Kal-El is the one that is more friendly and easier to pick up. But when we brought them out for these photos, Kal-El was all into smelling and investigating. I got Jor-El to show some interest in one of our toys... it didn't last long. I couldn't hold his attention for more than a couple minutes and only then, if I kept the toy bouncing around right in front of him. But I had expected Kal-El to be the one that would show some interest in the bug... not this little one.
