Apple Dumpling DesignsSkippy has yet to move her little ones and I've been trying to not disturb her too much. I have been quietly peeking through the cracks and I swear they have grown an inch already...they are only 4 days old. They are just little chubby balls of fur and I'm quite annoyed that she hasn't brought them out for me to slobber all over yet.
HOW RUDE!!!!
How rude, indeed! I'd really like to take a closer peek too. I'm not touching them though if you're going to slobber all over them!! :crackup:
Warmest bear hugs, :hug:

Newcastle, OntarioShantell,
You're such a good girl - being sooo patient. I'm not sure I could have left them alone! They do grow quickly, don't they? I'm trying to remember how long it takes for their eyes to open - 10 -14 days? It won't be long and then when do they start to walk - about three week? Boy, it's been a long time since we had kittens.
I just remembered a "funny" from when we had our last kittens. Our son was about 15years old and was a music nut. He was getting ready to go back to school after lunch and had put his walkman (with the mini headphones) on the stairs, while he put his coat and shoes on. Our favourite llittle kitten, Moose, had been playing around the stairs, but we didn't pay much attention to what he was doing. When Neal when to pick up his walkman, the ends of the headphones had both been chewed off. The wire was really, really thin, and I guess it felt good on his teeth. I was laughing so hard it wasn't funny, and poor Neal had to go go school minus his walkman, cuz he didn't have any more headphones!
So enjoy them, Shantell, while they are still too small to move around and get into any mischief!
Hugs,
Brenda
Wild Thyme OriginalsDesperately wanting a little kitten at this point Shantell!!!!!
Brenda... that same exact thing happened to my son's iPod when he was at his father's house! There must be something universally appealing to cats about those skinny wires! And tulle, and "crunchy" organza type fabrics, and Easter grass....... 
WHY!?

Back Road BearsAnd I thought you'd have more pictures!!!
How rude! 
I'm am most definitely just kidding, Shantell! Just hearing about them makes me melt! 
Baird'sBears You are a good girl, Shantell--and it's very good news that the family is still going strong. 
Rabbits and cords are even worse!

Apple Dumpling DesignsI've tried to get more photos but no luck. She has to have them laying in just the right place otherwise you can't really see anything...wish I could just squeeze the camera through the crack 
Where's Inspector Gadget when I need him?
As far as being good...if I could rip this deck apart I would!!!
My cat, Oz (bless his little soul) use to drink my coffee. He loved it...hot, cold, with or without milk. He was an odd little being...my kindred spirit for certain.
Hugs to all...
Shantell,
That is rude!
I loved watching Inspector Gadget when I was younger. Go go gadget!
Dolls N DreamsOhhhhhhhhhh lucky you, I remember how much fun it is to have kittens or puppies
to watch over! It is so much fun when they open their eyes and are ready to play!
That is when your fun will start!

Here's a little picture of one of the kittens little faces. It's a bit blurry because I had to enlarge it a bit...but ain't it just the cutest little face.
We had a bit of a skunk scare last night but all is well and Skippy seems quite content where she is. THANK GOODNESS!!
Posts: 3,177:hug: These kittens are so sweet Shantell - i bet they so closely guarded by you that the skunk does'nt stand a chance!
Keep trying to get more pics :dance:

Oh! Pictures of the kittens!! Be still my heart.....they're adorable! I think I can probably safely tell my son about them now. Shantell, would you mind sending a photo to my e-mail address?
Warmest bear hugs, :hug:

Apple Dumpling DesignsHere's another I forgot I took...I'm not sure if it's the same kitten or not. I never can seem to get a view all their little faces at once.
Fuzzbutt BearsThe kitten in the first picture looks like it's got a white face that fades into his coat, that could mean it's a cream-silver or red-silver, which are absolutely gorgeous colors. Each hair would be white at the base and red at the tips. The amount of white varies, so he might end up with a pink coat or look like a white cat in with his own personal sunbeam. (I'm jealous, had you noticed?)
This is the website of a friend of mine who breeds Maine Coons, the little boy at the top of the page is a cream silver: http://home.earthlink.net/~coonbitzky/news.htm

Back Road BearsYippee!!! Pictures!!! Great job, Shantell.
I'd be out there night and day and by now have a very contorted spine and stiff neck trying to see those cute little babes!!!!
Renae...... I've got to go back to one of your posts to see what kind of a feline Moosie is but man, would her coat make a beautiful... well.... um..... SOMETHING! It's goegeous!!!! Have you counted her spots???
Newcastle, OntarioErin, it is more than the worst sound - I've hurled things at him to make him stop in the middle of the night! (only pillows LOL)
Hugs,
Brenda
Apple Dumpling DesignsOh trust me...it's taking every ounce of my energy to not tear the deck apart to get to them. I can hardly stand it...I really just want to hold them. I've had mamma's and kittens before and I always got to be their "other" mamma so this is killing me. I just love the smell of baby kitties or puppies...or babies in general.
I'm feeling kind of guilty because I'm scheming how and when I can take them from Skippy so they can be tamed. I feel like I'm planning a kidnapping or something.
Hugs,
Oh what precious little balls of fluff. Shantell, I'd be trying to tear the deck apart. They are just so adorable.
Renae, I love your pictures too. Funny kitties.
AWWWWWWWW
Apple Dumpling DesignsNo deck removal here...the lattice is the least of the problems. She's laying about 8-10 feet from the closest edge of the deck and there is only about 18 inches of clearance and I don't have claustraphobia but I am NOT crawling under there with a mamma kitty that close...she's rip me to shreds I'm afraid...and then I would be claustraphobic after that. :)
More kitten pictures as they get a bit bigger...I wished they'd hurry up and then STOP!!!
