Title: Cat Explosion (Updated with more pics!)
Post by: TheGreyRonin on July 09, 2007, 10:04:56 PM
 Button the One-Eyed Psycho Tabby had kittens just over three months ago. Due to deformities only one survived, and she abandoned him just shy of six weeks from birth. I took him in, and he's now the huge, aptly-named Trouble.

But before I could get her fixed, Button got herself knocked up again. Earlier today she exploded, showering me with seven adorable, mostly normal-looking kittens. Four or five grey tabbys, and two or three blacks. (Kind of hard to tell since they're still damp, and they change places a lot. LOL)

She had them in an old tire way out back, but with coyotes in my front yard last night I moved mother and all into my living room. This promises to be interesting for the next few weeks... LOL

The title of this topic let me to expect something far different. However, this is much more adorable. Congrats to Button and we want pics of the kittens as soon as possible!

I almost didn't read this thread due to the title... however, now that I'm here:

The intarnetz demands the uploadings of pictures! D:

We need cute cuddly kitties to fawn over by proxy.

 Here we go! Quick and dirty; I'm trying to disturb them as little as possible for now.

And just for the heck of it, here's her older kitten Trouble:

At three and a half months, he's just over half the size of her.

If the kittens aren't eating solids yet, spin the puppies in a blender for a few minutes.  >3 >:] :veryevil :bat

 Update with more pics!

One week in and all of the kittens are doing great. Healthy, feisty, and cute as can be. But hey, don't take my word for it...

That's the group as of last night. A few decided to sleep off to the side a couple of hours later:

And just for comparison, I snapped a shot of their three month older sibling before I mopped the kitchen. Those squares are a foot wide on each side, BTW.

I'll post more pics once their eyes are open. Should be within the next four days.

There are stools under that counter, but at a near-impossible angle to reach the counter. So this was apparently a straight leap from floor to counter. Sigh.

Pfft.

My parents used to have a driveway, before they moved, at about 40 degree slope. At the top of it, they had a 6 foot gate, with a bar over the top, another couple of feet up (they had a van, with a high roof, so Dad built the gates with some spare height).

So, from the ground outside, about a foot away from the gate, you're looking at 8-9 feet -up- to the top bar. And I'd swear the cat they had did it without touching the gate on the way up.

Big ball of muscle, though, that cat. Looked like a ball of fluff, but there was 8-9 kilos of hard muscle in there. Ginger, he used to be called. Short for Gingernut. And then he got cut, as you do, being responsible pet owners and all. Obviously, from then on he was called Nutless....



Ah, the memories.
