13 weeks tomorrow and only a few days until Destiny and Infinity will move... I will miss them obviously, but it will be nice to get them to their new homes, finally :-)
Now it's time to see how Liberty will develope and maybe go to a few shows in the autumn. I have no new kittens plans for the time being, but obivously with 3 females, I will make new ones...
| 10.06.2009 |
12 weeks! Due to the stomach-flu, I get to spend one more week with the kittens :-) Then Destiny and Infinity will move and Liberty will be "all alone" with the adults.
The weights were ok, even though they lost so much during week 9. Destiny 1506g, Liberty 1713g and Infinity 1683g. Actually they are about the same size than Saga's mythology kittens: Sparke was the biggest of them 1717g, and the girls: Skadi 1560g, Sunna 1568g and Sibilja 1679g.
| 27.05.2009 |
Weights today: Destiny 1242g, Liberty 1398g and Infinity 1356g. Their lowest weights were on Friday: 947g, 1100g and 1100g. So Destiny and Liberty have gained 300g in 4 days!
I hope that things continue to go well, after the medication stops today.

Kittens will be 10 weeks tomorrow. They are doing fine again, what a relief!! They were very sick until friday, but then the second trip to the vet helped. They were given fluids and antibiotics. They all lost weight very much, but are trying to gain what they've lost.
The first vaccinations will be on Thursday, and the second ones three weeks from that. So they will be a little over 13 weeks when they move. Iines is in heat - again! That's a second one within a couple of weeks... I should put her back on the pill, but I don't like the idea much.

Kittens have been sick for a few days now :-/ They have been puking all over the place and some of them have also had diarrhea.
Liberty has been the "sickest" of them, Infinity and Destiny are almost back to normal again. I don't know where they got it from, but probably from my clothes since I
was at a catshow last Saturday...
Kittens were suppose to be vaccinated today, but I postponed it to friday. I don't think Liberty will be vaccinated then, but
she will get her vaccinations later. Weights have gone down VERY quickly and especially Liberty has lost over 100g. :-( I'm hoping them to get better soon,
it's so stressfull when the small ones are sick.
I will add more pictures later, when they are doing ok again.

8 weeks! Time flies, only little over 4 weeks and Infinity and Destiny will move to their new homes. This week Iines has pretty much abandoned her children, due to a massive heat! She and Saga are both trying to get Roope to help them out...
Kittens have been a bit upset that their mother doesn't want to feed them several times a day any more... but they can eat on their own and have nothing to worry about. Iines still lets them come to the milk-bar ;-) but only a few times a day. I don't think they get much milk from her any more, but they love to cuddle with her.
I've been trying to get decent pictures of the kittens, but they are just too fast for me! Maybe I have better luck over the weekend... but now I added just a few pictures of them :-)
| 06.05.2009 |
7 weeks already!
Weights have been rising nicely: Destiny 902g, Liberty 1074g and Infinity 979g. Liberty has been over 1kg since Sunday :-) Kittens are full of speed and Iines tries to keep up with them... She still nurses them, but the milk is clearly running out.
| 29.04.2009 |
6 weeks! Seems that time goes by way too fast! Only 6 or 7 weeks and kittens are ready to move to their new homes. Both Destiny and Infinity are pre-booked, but I haven't updated their status yet. Liberty is a keeper for sure ;-) So she hasn't been for sale at any point.
Girls have gained weight nicely, Liberty is still the biggest 906g, then Infinity 862g and Destiny 783g. Destiny isn't small at all, but the others are just bigger :-D.
| 22.04.2009 |
5 weeks and full of speed!
Kittens RUN and play and confuse the adult cats with their funny behaviour ;-) Roope and Lulu still can't decide if they are scary or not... So better not let them out of their site...
Kittens have started to climb up to the deltta cat tree and they seem to know how to climb down, too! Not bad for 5 week old kittens :-) They haven't started eating anything else than minced meat yet, but maybe this week they will get something new.
Destiny has probably found herself a home, but Infinity is still looking for the right family :-)
| 15.04.2009 |
Kittens are 4 weeks old :-) All three girls are so different and all very charming on their own way :-)
Infinity still reminds me of a little round teddybear. She is about the same weight than Liberty and yet she looks a bit fat - and Liberty doesn't ;-) Infinity still refuses to eat on her own, but will eat when I put a tiny amount of food in her mouth. She runs A LOT! And makes funny noices... She seems to have her own games going on all the time. The others are not that anxious to run or go "wild", at least not yet.
Destiny was become more and more affecionate during this last week :-) She comes to me and wants me to cuddle her. She also likes to sit on my lap and eat food from my fingers - of course that is more fun than eating on the plate... She is the smallest of them still, but has gained weight nicely and is over 500g. So not bad at all. She is SO beautiful and has the most charming eyes!
Liberty is my sweetheart... The moment she sees me, she quickly comes towards me. She would like to sleep next to me (but I always return her to the nest when she falls asleep ;-)) and wants to be cuddled all the time. She reminds me of her mother a lot. At the moment she is the biggest girl, but I think Infinity will beat her next week. At the moment she looks a bit funny - but I think she will be just lovely when she grows up!
All 3 gained weight really nicely during the week: Destiny is now 517g, Liberty 588g and Infinity 577g. Diiva got 94g during this week, Liberty and Infinity 104g each.
| 14.04.2009 |
Destiny and Liberty started to eat minced meat with babymilk yesterday :-) At first they ate it from my fingers and then from the plate! Infinity didn't quite understand the whole thing yet, but I think she will, sooner or later.
| 13.04.2009 |
Kittens are learning new things every day! They seem to be delveloping faster than the other 2 litters, which is nice, if it means that they will start eating on their own sooner... Edela from the last litter begun to eat when she was nearly 6 weeks old!
So I'm crossing my fingers...
Yesterday I finally put the litter-box to kittens nest and Infinity soon knew what to do in there! She now knows how to use the sand, but Destiny and Liberty still keep eating it... But I think they will realize what to do soon :-) Kittens have also had their first taste of solid food and it went nicely :-) No-one spit anything out ;-)
Weights have still gone up nicely, so there is no real need for the food-training yet. Today's weights are Destiny 484g, Liberty 561g and Infinity 578g.
Iines is still the most devoted mother ever :-) She rarely leaves the nest and is happy that Saga is there to keep her company. Lulu and Roope have seen the kittens, but weren't interested. I think that will change, when they will leave the nest... Actually, Liberty can leave the nest, but she only does it if I'm laying on my bed and she wants to cuddle with me! Yesterday she climbed next to me and fell a sleep instantly. She is so sweet...
All three are playful and curious kittens :-) They explore their surroundings without any fear and soon they will probably leave the nest for good. Within the first couple of weeks, Destiny wasn't too happy about me weighting her or touching her, but now she is happy to be cuddled and even ate some food sitting on my lap :-) She still screams a lot! But that seems to be her way of getting what she wants...
| 08.04.2009 |
Kittens are now 3 weeks old! All 3 have gained weight nicely, Liberty is still the heaviest of them, even though she is by far the most active one! She often abandons her real mother and wants to "hang around" with me... Today she managed to come to my lap and fell asleep :-) So cute... She didn't even have to try so hard, there is no way that I'm selling her ;-)
Infinity and Destiny haven't come out of the nest yet. They play a lot with each other and like to be near Iines. They like to be cuddled, but they are not that interested in me, yet. It's funny though, how actively Liberty has been charming me ;-)
| 05.04.2009 |
Kittens are getting more and more active every day :-) They try to wash themselves and play more. Infinity even tried to run today, but it looked really funny! Liberty came out from the nest a few days ago, and hasn't stayed in since then... I always put her back in and she always comes out :-)
| 01.04.2009 |
Kittens are already 2 weeks old! They are beginning to play, sratch their ears and walk better. They have gained weight nicely, so the only thing I have to do, is to feed Iines. All three look very different at the moment, so it will be interesting to see how they will develope :-)
Liberty is still the heaviest of the heavy-metal girls ;-) 375g, Infinity 365g and Destiny 343g. In Iines' first litter 2 week weights were Eskel 370g, Eydis 343g and Edela 301g.
| 28.03.2009 |
Kittens have started to purr very loudly when they are eating :-) At first only Destiny was doing it, but now all three girls are purring and eating. They all have at least one eye open and have started to explore their surroundings.
Destiny didn't get any weight yesterday and seems to be stuck with the nipples that aren't functioning that well.. Liberty and Infinity always pick the best ones and she has to settle for the ones that are free. She has gained 34g since Wednesday, so I'm not too worried, yet.
Liberty is still the biggest,309g, Infinity comes next, 297g and Destiny 283g.
| 25.03.2009 |
Kittens are already 1 week old! Liberty doubled her weight, but Destiny and Infinity are missing a few grams. Liberty is the biggest kitten at the moment (265g), then comes Infinity (254g) and Destiny is the "smallest" (249g).
They are a lot heavier than Iines' first kittens, I guess Iines is more relaxed this time and knew from the start what to do :-)
| 20.03.2009 |
Kittens have names! The firstborn tortie is Destiny, second tortie Liberty and third kitten Infinity. These also happen to be songs by Stratovarius (and surprise, surprise.. I'm a big fan ;-)).
Kittens have gained weight nicely from yesterday morning: Destiny 32g, Liberty 22g and Infinity 17g! I hope they continue to get more weight so easily :-)
| 19.03.2009 |
I had the names all figured out before the kittens were born... But how does Hot'n'Cold work if you don't have any silver kittens? - it doesn't. I'm trying to come up with new names, but at the moment I have a lot to choose from...
The weights have gone nicely up! I weighted them in the morning and Viiru had gotten +13g, Villikko +16g and Vikisijä +12g.
| 18.03.2009 |
Iines started to deliver her kittens around 7 AM this morning. What a nice time to start, the last time she started about the same time...
7:44 the first kitten was born! f 09 23 girl, 125g.
8:05 second kitten, also f 09 23, 128g.
9:06 third kitten, maybe ns 09 23, 129g.
Unfortunately the 4th kittens was lost, it was n 09 23 girl, 120g. It hadn't been fully developed and we had to put her to sleep :-/
I will try to write more tomorrow and add more pictures.. at the moment Iines wants me to sit with her and praise her kittens :-)
