hazelrunpack August 18th, 2010, 11:43 PM :lovestruck: Those videos are priceless, scm! And Aztec...well, the handsome boy makes madame hazel swoon :flirt: He really does seem to be enjoying his bed. Is that the one with the kitty nip pockets? :D
growler~GateKeeper August 19th, 2010, 12:18 AM :lovestruck: Cuteness overload :lovestruck: and Aztec handsome as ever, his bed has lots of nice textures/colours to it.
Are the kittens blocked from the room's entrance door? or have they tried to play footsie with Aztec too? and what does he think of the little toes?
TeriM August 19th, 2010, 12:52 AM This is just what I needed :thumbs up. So nice so see all those happy and content kitty faces :cloud9:.
cpietra16 August 19th, 2010, 06:14 PM where has the time gone....they are so big:shrug::confused::D
Frenchy August 19th, 2010, 06:24 PM omg those videos are so cute , she is such a good mommy ! :cat:
Dee-O-Gee August 19th, 2010, 09:16 PM Poor CG in the onslaught video! :)
The one little orange guy that jumped all over everyone seems to be a fiesty little guy! :D
Great pictures, videos and Aztec is such a dream. :cloud9:
JennieV August 20th, 2010, 12:00 AM beautiful, adorable, cutest ever, just precious....! :cloud9::cloud9::cloud9:
Love4himies August 20th, 2010, 06:47 AM OMG, I think I died and went to heaven watching those videos :cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9:.
Holy smokes, those kittens are big :eek:, CG looks very petite, how big is the daddy?
CG looks like such a good momma, those kittens are going to have wonderful personalities :lovestruck:.
Not sure how much exposure you have had to other kittens, but I think you will notice such a difference in the muscle mass and weight of your kittens as compared to kittens that are fed cat food, especially those who have been taken away from their momma at 6-8 weeks old.
sugarcatmom August 20th, 2010, 07:33 AM Are the kittens blocked from the room's entrance door? or have they tried to play footsie with Aztec too? and what does he think of the little toes?
No footsie with Aztec, he's decided kittens are nothing but pure evil :laughing:. He's okay with the smell and the sound of them, but as soon as he sees them he puts on his angry face.
Holy smokes, those kittens are big :eek:, CG looks very petite, how big is the daddy?
Daddy is a big boy, probably twice the size of CG.
CG looks like such a good momma, those kittens are going to have wonderful personalities :lovestruck:.
She is so amazing! I've had tons of friends over to help socialize the kittens, some with young children and babies, and CG has handled it all very gracefully. Even if she doesn't get too friendly with new people, she quietly watches everything going on and lets the kittens explore uninhibited. And boy do these kittens LOVE people. They're going to make some wonderfully outgoing companions for whoever adopts them.

You're not kidding! I haven't been around too many kittens this young, but I'm blown away by how fast these little guys are growing and how much energy they have. My neighbor's cat has 2 9 week old kittens (I know! :wall:) from the same dad (one kitten is a polydactyl) and mine are bigger at 6 weeks. What does make me sad though is the thought that they may end up on a mostly kibble diet later :yell:. Since potential adopters will be coming to my house to meet the kitties first, I'm going to try my hardest (without scaring them away) to convince them of the benefits of at least a quality canned food, if not raw. :fingerscr

:laughing::laughing: He has the same as Puddles
Daddy is a big boy, probably twice the size of CG.
That explains their size (along with the excellent diet for both momma and babies :thumbs up)

That is wonderful, because kittens will learn how to react to humans from their momma

ancientgirl August 20th, 2010, 10:24 AM Evil doesn't stand a chance against "The Army of Cuteness!"
OMG they are just to die for. What a bunch of little cuties. And CG is such a beautiful girl. She looks like such a wonderful mommy.
Aztec is being the perfect big brother and looks like he got a nice new bed as a present. :lovestruck:
14+kitties August 20th, 2010, 02:57 PM They sure are thriving! Good show!! You're an expert kitty raiser now. :rolleyes: I love all the different personalities! Wonderful! :cloud9:

"Torbs" is now called "Bijoux":

The kitten Zack and I are planning to adopt, originally called "Seven" because of his 7 toes on one foot, now referred to as "Carrot Cake", or Carrot for short:

Love4himies August 29th, 2010, 06:40 PM They are just adorable :cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9: and I love their names :laughing:
krdahmer August 29th, 2010, 11:59 PM :cloud9::lovestruck::lovestruck::cloud9:
sooo many toes.....sooooo much cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
onster August 31st, 2010, 11:33 AM omggggg adorable!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh :cloud9::lovestruck:
binkybuff August 31st, 2010, 11:44 AM I too, love the names you have chosen. You did good.

So, I am losing track...you are planning to keep CG and one of the kittens? However can you choose one????
I am new to the "cat world" and never new about all these extra toes...how cute is that???? :cloud9:
ancientgirl September 1st, 2010, 10:40 AM I hate to TJ:o but I felt compelled to post this:
http://www.hemingwayhome.com/HTML/our_cats.htm
If anyone is ever in Key West Florida, I highly recommend visiting the Hemingway house. There are over 60 kitties, many of them descendants from one cat given to Hemingway which was a polydactyl. It's very interesting and they are all very well taken care of there.
quincymycat September 1st, 2010, 11:09 AM Sooooo gorgeous....I think I am in love with Paneer.....those eyes :lovestruck: :lovestruck:
If we were closer....I know I would likely end up adding to the family again ;)
chico2 September 2nd, 2010, 04:31 PM SCM,I just watched all the videos and pics,OMG did I need to see those beautiful kittens and mom,they got me all teary-eyed and mushy feeling,they are just too cute for words.
CG,is such a good mom,although she looked a little rough cleaning Bijoux(sp?):laughing:
CG,is a very elegant kitty-girl,I am so glad she has a home with you and hopefully the kittens will get wonderful,caring owners too.
Aztec,is his normal beautiful tabby self,love him:lovestruck:
rainbow September 17th, 2010, 12:43 AM Those kitties are just tooooo adorable. :cloud9:
