Week Two

The kittens have all doubled their birth weights and are nice chunky babies.  As it is such a big litter, I am helping Belle by topping up the littlest kitten.  He loves his milk and is now gaining well.
This week the kittens have had individual photos taken.  They are gradually showing their personalities and their colours are coming through.  However all colours are subject to change as they get older and their points develop more!

Week One

Belle is continuing to be a super mother.  The kittens have all doubled their weights and look nice and chunky.  They are also very demanding and shout at Belle for more milk all through the night!
The kittens' colours are coming through and it is looking like we have two seal boys, a red or cream boy, two seal or seal tortie girls and two blue or blue tortie girls.  However the kittens are still very young and their points are still simply a smudge of colour on their ears so we should have a better idea in the next few weeks.

Belle delivered seven kittens in the early hours of Valentines Day.  This is a very special litter for us as this is our first pure Siamese litter.  The kittens were born pure white and over the next few weeks their colours will develop.  We are expecting blue and seal points, blue tortie and seal tortie point girls and red and cream point boys.  We have three boys and four girls however they are still very young and this could change!
Belle is a super mum and loves caring for her kittens.  Dad is Drestothril Debussie, a lovely gentle seal point boy owned by Alice Fox of Reynards Siamese.  I will update with individual kitten photos later in the week once we have thought of some Valentines themed names.
