​

Six weeks and potty trained very well. They are slow to eat the dry food and babyfood but that will probably come soon. Mama Hazelnut has lots of milk and so they are all well fed. Pandora the split face red/black tortie is on a breeder reserve and will stay here with me. The black tabby male with white chest is Perseus and he is a doll. He is active yet sweet. The seal point girl very thoughtful and very beautiful. Her eye color is stunning. Her name is Helen of Troy. 
The lynxpoint male with white mittens is very camera shy this week. I'll try again. He is fat and adventurous. His name is Odysseus but I call him Ody.
We are working on being held this next few weeks and having lots of visitors (neighbors  and friends.).

 Four and a half weeks old. Still nursing only. Not interested in food yet. The kittens are sleeping a lot and run around (waddle) with their tails in the air. At this stage they are kind of bouncy. The tortie girl has piqued a lot of interest from you all.  She is stunning. I'll be describing personalities more later in the month as they develop.  The lymx point is not easy to photograph. He is actually quite handsome. The seal point girl is very chubby. The black tabby male is very adventurous. He loves playing with my shoelaces. Hazel the mom sleeps by pillow. The babies will move to the kitten room tomorrow to potty train as they will start eating soon.

Gorgeous babies. No personalities showing yet. Just nursing and sleeping. They are still in the nest box - week 3.   Tomorrow they will move to a larger box and the following week will move to the kitten room (out of my bedroom).  Names, genders coming soon.

Quiet, happy and sweet. Hazel's babies are lovely. The white/grey ones: One looks like it might develop into a seal point. (darker ears). 
My mom loves holding the kittens and she talks to them.  They love to be petted and stroked but don't like being away from mama for too long.

Congratulations Hazelnut. One black tabby male with white mittens, One tortoiseshell female with a split face/red/black and white mittens, and 2 lynxpoints ( I think). All are fat and quiet. Here they are at 4 days old.. Hazel keeps moving them out of the box onto a carpeted floor in my bedroom closet. They are warm and cozy.
