I think Debbie is for either Ally or Menty (as her daughter is Charlotte so already has a Lottie)which means Lottie is all yours.....  She's a lovely light tabby with full markings and the cutest little chirrup for mum. Number two born in the photos, the little one I had to resuscitate, but she's full of life now  :D

You can all rename them you know, I just really liked the idea on names   :blush:

I keep picking them up and thinking you're the cutest, then the next and so on in circles. I think mum's the cutest. Can you tell I'm proud, I may have mentioned it a few times already  :tongue2: :lol:

How on earth did I miss this thread!!!!!

I've just read it through and you did a fanstastic job Cara..... and Evie of course!!! She looks soooo much like my little Dee!

Looing forward to more pics as the bubs grow.  :D
Snappy 

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

Menty has one white paw developing and white under his cute little chin  :blush:

Lottie already likes the back of her bum scratching - she rolls closer and closer when I do it  :wub:

So Kate, where are you.... little Ally needs her new mum  ;)

Slight problem with mum - she has come straight on heat  :ohmy: Thankfully she is double blocked from getting out through the cat flap, but it means she is pacing a fair bit by the bedroom door (as soon as kits cry she is straight back to them thankfully). At 6am I was cuddled up with her and she decided to bring the kits to me one at a time and then waited by the door to be let out - think I was meant to nurse them while she went off to get *ahem*  ::) Can't have her op until they are four weeks old incase it causes problems with feeding, so it's going to be a frustrating four weeks for her  :lol:

A few years ago, same thing happened with my little girl. Unfortunately she did manage to get past all the barriers and was 'caught' again.  so she went for the op, but not until the kittens were a few weeks old and could be weaned succesfully.
Seems a bit harsh, but i was in greece and they just throw kittens out in the olive groves :ohmy: so couldn't rehome a 2nd litter. :(

Nature itself can be cruel at times can't it? They have their first lot when they are little more than babies themselves and then carry on every few months ...glad I'm not a cat :unsure:

As soon as those kits start on the kitten food she will be straight in for her op. I hope she doesnt get out, but if she does (I hate to say this and some may disagree) I will be rushing her in for the op before the pregnancy progresses.

The cords have now started falling off and I will take a pic of advanced Ally when she next opens her eyes for me - can't believe she is already doing this. All three are responding to noises now so looks as though their sensory systems are working well. They are all weighing over 130grams, but Ally is 150g - they are big strong new borns  :D

You're doing brilliantly Cara. Support your strategy too.

Hoping she can wean them successfully.
