10 weeks, big babies! Almost time to move to new homes! We couldn't get a new time at Vet. until 16th juni, by then they will be 13 weeks. Anyway, there still is a chanse that we can get their pedigrees until then, which would be fine... Their weights are now between 1165 grams (Tindra) and 1420 grams (Teddie), which feels great!
 
T1 --still without a name, poor girl! None of the sugestions we got feels that they suits her... But by this weekend I have to send in the registrationpapers, so I have to find something!
Théophile - or Teo as we call him, is really nice and cozy, and has found out how nice it is to sit in peoples laps to be petted all the time! :) He just purrs, and purrs, and purrs....
 
Tussilago, as we mostly calls Tuss, is almost as heavy as the boys, but with more nimble movements! She has always something going on!
 
Teddie, or Teodor, is the one who have adjusted quickest to living in the whole house, he can be downstairs playing along by himself! When the dog gets too close, he just arches and hiss, to tell the dog who REALLY are in control! =)
 
Tindra is most careful, and the one who dislikes the dog mostly. But she can play in the kitchen for a while, if she forget that the dog is laying there, watching!
 

 

Now the kitties are 9 weeks, and time to go to the Vet. to get their first shopt! We left mum Sushi at home, as she's very frightened in the car, big sister Saphira came along instead, as we were to x-ray her hips at the same time. Everything went along well, but they were sooo tired when we got home! And, by this point it's no hesitation that all of them got some nice silver from dad Whinston! =)

 

T1 is now the only one that we haven't found a proper name to, it's sometimes really hard to find something suitable! But time for registration keeps getting closer...
 
T2 - or Théophile - finally got a name! =) I found a saying in a booklet, "To love is to admire with the heart. To admire is to love with the brain", written by a Théophile Gautier. I thought it suited our little purry boy, so that's now his name! We tend to call him just Teo though.
 
Tussilago is really the one that never ever is still! She plays with balls, and keep carrying her preys all around the house!
 
T4 - has also got a name, Teodor! We call him Teddie, it's easier to say. He and Teo is now about the same weight!
Tindra- sweet as always!

 

8 weeks now, kitties grow fast! :) Now they have access to the whole house, and it's big world opening up for them! With a big, black dog - which they think is terribly dangerous... Todays photos were taken of very newly awaked kitties, which you can se at pix... *gasping*
 
T1 (Turtle/Trasan/Tessie?), still don't have a name, but at least it's obvious now that she IS a tortiesmoke! :)
 
T2 was quite happy with his small world upstairs, he's no longer the first one to explore the downstair world! But still, he loves to be hold in ones arms, laying on his back, purring... *smile*
 
Tussilago doesn't really behave like an ordinary maine coon, but more like a cornish rex and somali crossbreed... She's everywhere, all the time! Often carrying around some of her preys, or running after a ball, killing someones feet, or something else... She's only still when sleeping
 
T4 (Teddi / Teodor?) went through a change when we let them loose in the whole house! Now he's the first to come and eat, the one who don't worry to pass the sleeping dog and the one to hiss to the vacuum cleaner instead of hiding... Maybe he is done thinking now..?
 
Tindra is a bit shyer then the rest, but purrs loudly when she comes along striking up ones leg and when you pick her up! =)
 

 

7 weeks of age, soon it's time for their first vaccinations and also registrations! And only two of them have proper names yet... =/ During the upcoming week, I think it's time for them to meed our dog for the first time, and also be introduced to the ground floor of our house. By now I think they are big enougt to run safely in the stairs. This week I've tried to take some close up face pics!
 
T1 (Turtle?) weighs 913 grams now, and is in the middle of the girls. She spend lots of time by herself for the moment, and the biggest excitement in her life is when I bought a "kitten-tunnel" to them, she absolutely loves to play in it!
 
T2 really needs a proper name soon, that suites him better then Terminator... =/ He is still the most curious, always the first one to see what happens. Weighs 1022 grams.
Tussilago seemed to be a bit tired when we took these pics, I don't think her ears looks like that all the time... She plays a lot, love all kinds of balls, and especially the one that is attached to a climbing tree in a string! She weighs 972 grams, and is biggest of the girls, which feels great after her quite bad start in life!
 
T4 (Teddi / Teodor), he has such lovely, white, curly eye-brows, that folds down over his eyes, looking like his glazing out through curtains! :) I think you can see it in the left pic! He still talks alot, and play a lot with Tindra for the moment. He's close to T2 in size now, with his 1018 grams.
 
Tindra the little qutie, looks lika a porslain kitten! :) She's still the smallest kitten, with her 898 grams, but it's really hard to think that it would be something wrong with her... She's so joyful and playful, although she still has a bit hoarse meow.
 

 

Half way to moving from home, six weeks old and time flies! The develop really quick now, one evening Johan found THREE of them on the wrong side of the baby gates, so now they have access to the upstairs hall, and Hollys room. They are quite quick on their paws now! :)
 
T1 (Turtle?) sleeps a lot, and prefers her minced meat fried rather then raw. She likes to go on her own adventures, alone, and is very quick to attack peoples toes!
T2 (Hmm... Terminator...) is such a är en sån cozy boy! He's very happy to lay at his back in one's arms, just cuddle... But he still always is the first one to check out everything that happens!
Tussilago is still the speeded one, attacks every possible pray, wether it is a toy, another cat, a broom or someones feet... She has lost her patiens for modelling, but at least I got a few sharp pics... And minced meat - did I really think she would eat THAT?!
 
T4 (Teddi / Teodor) is still very talkative, but a bit shyer then his red brother. and get behind the others, but he just don't seem to rush for anything. He is very cute, with his white curly eyebrows clearly visable to his dark fur! :)
 
Tindra feels like the "little" one, although she isn't even the smallest one anymore... She likes to hang with Tussilago, the play, eat and sleep a lot together. And, I also think that her meow's sounds clearer now, so hopefully everything will be just fine with her..? = D

 

Quick report from age 5 weeks, weights between 550-630 gram. They start to be really quick now, although they still are a bit unsteady on their feet.
T1 is still quite a sneaker, doesn't make much noise, but is really most eager to climbe on the net to get out to the rest of the room! So I guess we have to keep an extra eye on her, to see that she's on the right side of the net!
T2, is The Big Guy, always the first one to be out of the nesting box weather it is food, weight-time, visitors, littertray cleaning or what ever. He has also found a new hobbie - to try to chew on all zippers he can, it just seems like they all should be broken!
Tussilago still seems to enjoy posing infront of the camera, BUT - as she starts to be quick as a weasel I had to throw many blurred pics directly in the wastebin! She also lag behind T2 as soon as something happens, and has the courage to attack the broom or any new, dangerous toy!
 
T4, with namesuggestions like Teddi and Teodor, is the one who talk all the time - while eating, going to the littertray, when someone comes or when left alone in the nesting box... But he seems to take everything just calm and quiet.
 
T5 has now got a name, Tindra! :) She looks healthy and alert, although she still has her hoarse meowing. She's still qute as suger, but not very found of our photosessions...

 

4 weeks already! Weights between 422-507 grams today.
 
T1 surprised me, was not very shy, but very interested in their bigger environment today! When she met Tiger, she even tried to scare him away! :)
T2 was a lot more careful, mostly sat under a stool, watching... Or climed up in my knees, purring!
Tussilago is the clown, and also seems to want to be a Top Model, the way she poses in every pic! She's smallest, but was the one who yesterday managed to climb out of the litter box... That was the sign to make some more space for them!
T4 is still a philosopher, and was not very interested in the new environment, just took a quick look, then went back to the safe litter box...

 

T5, our very most qutie does not like to pose, but she might already know she's the qutest of them all..? She gains weight well now, but is still a bit hoarse when meowing...
Movies: 1 2 3 4

 

Time flies, here are kitten 3 weeks pics!
 
T1 is growing and purring!
T2 purrs, and try to get the others to play with him!
Tussilago is soo qute! She's also most outgoing, meows happily as soon as she see someone, and wants to come up! She also have rough fights with her shadow! :)
 
T4 seems to be a philosopher, just like Lord Ramsey was... He doesn't move more then necessary!
T5 is growing fine now, and very, very cute! She doesn't like the camera though!

 

T-litter at age 2 weeks - now they have all opened their eyes and looks sooo qute! :-)
 
T1 is a rather quiet personality, just purrs when eating from mum. She's the biggest of the girls.
T2 is still the soft and cuddly guy, purrs a lot, and often he sleeps flat at his back, with tummy in the air! =) Is it possible that red boys always get an extra gene for beeing cozy...??

 

Little Tussilago lost weight, which got an explanation - diarrhoea... Not always good to have such a great mum that cleans everything up, so the owner doesn't notice..?? After three days of medication she's fine again, gaining weight as normal.  Cute as candy! :)
 
T4 is The Big Guy! He just eat and sleep, that's it. If he ever travels round in the nest, he seems to have 4WD, getting around all obstacles!
T5 has got her last dose of antibiotics, but she does not wan't to gain weight again... :( She still sounds wheezing when breathing, and hoarse when meowing, so I have to call my vet. tomorrow to see what she sais...

 

T-litter one week of age
T1 - is growing and doing fine! =) Have started to get eyes!
T2 - seems to be another typicla red Guldklimp, already purring a lot! :)
T3 - now named to Tussilago by Holly, does not want to gain weight... But she's a fighter, so we hope she'll make it! She has nearly openend her eyes.
T4 - just eat, gasps and sleep... ;)
T5 - has got antibiotic for a few days now, as she was breathing very strange. As she came last when Sushi was tired, and with tail first, so she might have got fluid in her lounges. But now she seems to be fine and growing normally!

The tuesday of march 17, Sushi came screaming down the stairs to fetch us, saying that "NOW is the time"! :) We followed her upstairs, she got into the nursingbox I'd made and starded to have contractions. Then she got up, jumped up in the sofa beneeth Hollys bed, had another contraction and out came the first little girl! After that she gave birth to another four babies within 1 ½ hour, so it all happened very quickly! She was quite tired at the end, but took care of everything herself!

The proud and happy father is Whinston from S*Tole'Coons.
Thank you Lena for letting this lovely and sweet "bear" come to visit us! :)
