Silver Belle and Glory family... |
Belle gave us 3 babies on 7/26. They are 1 color point boy, 1 CP girl, and 1 black & white boy.
|
We were really anxious to see what this breeding would produce. Belle is fantastic example of what we are looking for in an American Curl female... she's got the size, ears, eyes, profile... you name it. We haven't let her have babies for awhile because she's getting older. But she is in heaven having new babies to love on again.

Katrina is a seal and white bicolor, but much lighter than her brother.

9/26... new photos |
and short video. I took this video when Mike was downstairs. I apologize for not getting a better angle or closer view. I'll have Mike help me tomorrow and replace it. But these 2 still photos show exactly how beautiful she is.

Belle's babies are loose in the bedroom/bathroom all day now but we still haven't separated mom from her babies... we just haven't had the heart. Belle is sooo happy being a mom again, it's hard to separate her... we will have to really soon. When the babies are eating solid food most of the time, mom's milk can get sour giving the babies a tummy ache. Also, it triggers a new heat cycle. At that point, we don't have a choice anymore. The added benefit is that when we're not competing with mom for the babies' attention, they bond to us more... like Parker and Winston.
09/02 pics and videos...
Katrina was really quick to chase the bug toy, while both the boys were more interested in the little stuffed animals and flowers. I have more photos and a couple short videos of these babies that I'll be adding once I get all the new pages done for each of the kittens. Please come back in the next couple of days for the other pics.

Pics taken 8/15...
This is all 3 babies. The Katrina is in middle in the back. Mike brought her in first by herself. While I was waiting for him to get the 2 boys, I was petting her and rubbing her all over. She just melted into my hands.
This is of the 2 boys. The CP in front is a seal and white bicolor.

This is Katrina, the bicolor girl.
