Asia's new babies

Asia finally had her babies on the 24th March. She had them while I was out and decided poor Bali's bed. So Bali was turfed out and she had managed to give birth in amoung Blali's babies. She had two Black babies, a girl and a boy. Then I found one Tabby and white girl down by the side of the cat bed. I put them in her big box with her children but she just would settle. In the end I got so fed up with her trying to put her babies with Bali's I ended up taking her into the bedroom. I thought it was really weird that she had not had a ginger baby as she always does. lol. Last thing I said to her before I went to bed was, Asia, where is your ginger baby? Well to my surprise when I woke up the next day she had a ginger baby over night :0)
So four babies in total all really healthy.
This was not the end of my issues though. She wanted to be in the lounge but everytime I moved her box in there she got confused and kept trying to look after  Bali's babies too. She started driving me crazy as she wouldn't settle in my bedroom as she likes to be with everyone.

So I finally came up with a solution. I had to transform Blitz's dog cage for her. So I moved it into the lounge and made it cat friendly, Asia decided she liked this idea. Everyone could still watch her but she couldn't get confused and get Bali's babies. she is so happy with her new home I don't even have to shut her in now.

She is a super mum :0)

Babies

The babies are doing so well. They are properly up and running around now. They chase your feet when you walk.  I have nicknamed one baby gobby as she is so loud. The only person who can keep her quiet seems to be my mate Jeni...just call her the cat whisperer lol. They have decided following the dogs around is quite fun too. Blitz doesn't have a problem with that but poor Flea tries to run away. They think that is a really fun game. Poor Flea bag, scared of the nasty babies lol.
Little Smartie is the 1st picture. She isn't quite as Alien looking but still. lol

mayhem

Asia is driving me crazy, She keeps trying either steal Bali's children or look after them. As sweet as that sounds it is a real pain. Poor Bali is getting pushed out of the way all the time as there isn't enough space for all of them to be in there. I cannot convince Asia that she hasn't given birth yet and they are her children. I am guessing this means that she will be due to give birth really soon now.
As for the babies, they are doing fantastic. They come out of their bed ever now and then and waddle around. They are very cute now. Although Smartie is looking a bit like an alien at the moment lol. I am sure she will turn out ok as her mum looked a bit like a bug eyed alien when she was tiny.

More Babies on the way

So it turns out that sneaky Asia is definately pregnant! I have felt a baby kicking! She is looking extremely pleased with herself and getting fatter by the day. I really didn't want her to have babies until later on in the summer! Two lots of kittens at once is going to be really hard work. As she has kept it quiet, I have no idea when they will be born...lol .
She is a very good mum and not flakey like Bali but even so.
Speaking of Bali, we have finally come to an agreement about her new spot to keep her babies. She has chosen a half enclosed cat bed. It's not really that big but both her and the babies seem happy enough. Better than under the bed in the draws in any case.
They are still growing well and are almost waddling. It won't be long before they are running around getting under my feet  :0)

sooty

This little dog was brought to agility training. He looks just like a mini Molly. I really wanted to take him home, he was so sweet. What do you think?

Babies Update

The babies are still growing well. Bali is still trying to shove them in my draw if I don't keep my bedroom door shut. I often help her with the feeding just to top up what they are having. They lap the milk from the end of a syringe now. I am very messy though often getting it all over their face. Bali doesn't nind but she does try and steal their milk.
I had a horrible experience with their dad last night. He was sitting on the arm of the chair and sneezed really loudly. I didn't think anything of it until 30 minutes later. I went into the bathroom and saw that I had snot in my hair....How grose is that? Good job I love that cat!!! Anyway more baby pic's

This is smartie, she is my fav at the moment.

Names

So the babies are getting bigger. They are all just about 200g. All of them have their eyes open now and will often gaze at me. So I figure they are over a week now and really should give them names. Trying to tell them apart can be a bit of a mission at the moment. One has a darker nose and the only boy has a really pink nose but the other three are really tricky. I have had to use felt tip pens to mark there tails otherwise I can't track their weights very well.
So onto the names. As they are all chocolate in colour at the moment ( they may turn brown as they get bigger) I decided to go on a chocolate theme:
Smartie,
Wispa,
Crunchie,
Cadbury
Buttons



On another note it seems that Ice hockey might be taking over more of my life than it does already. I have been happily doing front of house this year. BUT the GM wants me to think about taking over as chairman of the supporter club!!!! That would be a huge responsibility but how can I say no? If my club needs me i guess i have to step up!
