 The large colorpoint male with blue eyes is very boyish and is climbing over his toys and on top of stools, tumbling around with his sisters and starting playful banter. He is jumping off of things and falling and rolling on the floor and getting up and moving on like nothing happened. The petite black mackerel tabby girl is still making the most eye contact and ever so sweet. Her big sister is very striking with her perfect white socks and long black shiny fur. She is already stunning looking even in her small size. She is solidly built, rather mellow and enjoys wrestling with her siblings.   We have a very easy life, nursing and playing and sleeping. Maybe next week solid food, litterpans and a vet exam!

The white kitty has faint apricot rings on his tail and he is a cream or flame point.. !!! The Black mackerel tabby is lightening a little but a tan front toe clued me in that he is actually a she! The large tortoise shell with white socks girl is getting a few more brown patches on her back. They are all at an ideal weight and Sofiia is consistently grooming and nursing them. Developments over the past ten days have been small except for the defining colors. I notice that they are smelling the food and exploring the litterpan although not using either yet. Here are the photos and you can see the black mackerel tabby likes to have eye contact and is extremely alert. She is a snuggler and loves to nestle under your chin when you hold her. The colorpoint male is very very white and has a chunky build and broad shoulders. He will be big!  The kittens are being raised by Karen who owns a sheep farm in the Oregon coast range.. and sells wool for hand spinners. Here are some of her 'friends' today ... enjoying the mild weather!
Kittens are gaining a lot of weight and are continuing to be very relaxed and loving. Karen is doing a fabulous job socializing them and mama Sofiia is being easygoing and more happy to share her babies every day. When we have a super relaxed dad (Anatolii) and a very sweet and loving mama the kittens should be fabulous pets.. confident, affectionate and playful!  Here is the 'Tortie with white' female swinging her head back and forth and meowing for mama Sofiia.  Colorpoint male below (or white but doubtful).. My friend Karen holding his head for him .at this stage .... very 'bobble headed'. Below: Black mackerel tabby (I think a boy) . .. lots of eye contact.  Gorgeous perfect kittens! Little white (may develop as a colorpoint) male. Little black tabby male with white toes. Little black tortie female white socks. Although the female is perfect, big boned and stocky I have decided not to keep her as a breeder. Here are the photos.. weights almost identical.. Eyes just opening. Mama Sofiia very protective when I take them away to take pictures. .. but purring when I give them back to her. Each week there will be huge advancements in coordination and increased eye contact. These kitties are being raised by my good friend Karen. She is talking to them daily and giving them tummy rubs and massages.
