Willow x Flambeau kitten blog. Born 6-22-24 (3 girls and 3 boys)
Congratulations WIllow.
WIllow is being a good first time mom. Keep an eye out for weekly updates.
7-17-24 Fat and Sassy
Three and a half weeks. The babies are all still super fat. Grandma loves to hold them while she watches tv and she talks to them to tell them how beautiful they are. The noses are darkening and their fur is growing. They will be fluffy. The current goal is to feed mama Willow a lot of calories, give the kittens belly rubs and get them used to noises and being held. They love to be stroked and petted. This is going to be a gorgeous group with stylish white feet. I'll be reaching out to those on the reservation list.
Go home dates will be Sep 7-15th.

All the lovely kittens have their eyes open now and are waddling around the box. They dont have the skills yet to watch a feather wand so I couldn't get them looking at the camera. They are living in their own little world: nursing and rolling around, and of course sleeping. Willow is eating about 5 times the normal amount of food to keep up her milk production. I visit with the kittens about every 2 hours. They are usually napping. In two weeks they will leave the box, and start potty training and trying to eat real food. Choosing individual kittens is after their first vet exam at 8 weeks of age. They are only 2 weeks now. I am very pleased with their development and good health. This litter is fatter than normal. There are definitely 3 males and 3 females. One female will be on a breeder reserve. All have white mittens and the lynxpoint kittens will have blue eyes. The multi colored girl will likely have green eyes.

Eight days old. Beautiful group of six kittens. Three males and three females. One female will be kept as a breeder reserve. Five kittens are seal lynxpoints with white mittens. One is a torbie (tortoiseshell with stripes) and white feet. The babies are all healthy and very fat. Mama WIllow is being a fantastic mother. The kittens will be opening their eyes in the next week or so.
