WE HAVE KITTENS!

We have kittens!

This told to everybody very much, I believe so. ;) But, anyway, some saw pictures from lovely kittens via Facebook, where I have profile there, but I'll update now photos here and writing at same something news with kittens. :)

Helina started to birth on Sunday, 25th of January, 1 day after the expected date of confinement. The birth was quite fast, but we had problems with the first kitten, a big male (Leevi). Leevi didn't came to out for 30 minutes and after this the foetusbag was broken so I must to pull Leevi out, I saw him tail only at start but luckily second feet came out so it was easier to pull Leevi out. Helina was very angry to me, I understand it because it was very hard birth with tawny spotted male, Leevi. Anyway, Leevi was born and he was 126g, he's really big!!

At second Tiku, a chocolate spotted male, was born, without problems, luckily. :) Tiku was 120g heavy male. After Tiku's birth, his brother, a chocolate spotted male, decided to birth as soon as possible, so Taku came to world. :) Taku's weight was 118g.

We have also a singstar - Elvis, who was born 4th. When he was born, he started to shout everytime, so it wasn't difficult to give name to tawny spotted male. ;) Elvis' weight was 119g. I thought, do I again got only males in this litter - I had lot of males in two latest litters (6 kittens - 5 males and 3 kittens- 3 males) and I was also worring didn't I got silverkitten when Jade, a beautiful ebony silver spotted female, was born. I loved with first sight! Jade was very lively when she born and tried to walking around birthbox at same when Helina tried to clean her. :) Jade was 117g when she was born. We have again a Princess with 4 males. :)

From the birth was now 1 week and 2 days and kittens are grown up very well - everybody is quite soon 300g heavies. Jade opened her eyes at first time when she was 1 week old and she's now very lovely and cute girl with small eyes. :-* The boys don't want to following the world yet, but some of these open his eyes in few days, I'm sure for it. :)

It's lovely to following how kittens will grown up in kittenbox. I can sit behind the box to watching kittens long time. Helina is also very happy mom, she take care for kittens with big heart. I was afraid how very Helina will take care about her kittens, but I was wrong - she's one of the best mom in world what I know. :) It's also funny when Helina will breastfeed kittens so she usually "bakes" her paws at same time when she feed kittens and kittens will do it, too. :)

I like very much for Jade so I'm looking for a placement home to Jade or possible of co-ownership, I would like to keep girl also in breeding, I feel she has lot of chances and she's also promising with wonderful silver colour... The litter is very balanced - everybody seems very promising and it's interesting to see what like they will be when they will grown up. :) So now, anyway, the boys are looking for home but with Jade I would like to find a placement home or ineterst for co-ownership.

Here have some cute photos from kittens. :)
