What’s New, Pussycat?
Just Good Stuff | Posted by Jannie on 5 May 2012 @ 4:57 PM 23 Comments
Wow, looks like FOUR new things.
Introducing…
Eenie, Meenie, Miney & Primo…
born between 4:30 and 6:00 a.m. May 4th, 2012 in an empty subwoofer cabinet.
Mieshka “Fluffy Butt” Funster and babies are all doing well.
Kittens, anyone?
This will be Mieshka’s one and only litter so get ‘em while they’re hot, if I’ve the heart to let them go when the time comes.
But I’ll have to.
2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 parakeets and 17 fish already fill up this house quite well.
However… the darkest one, Primo (Prima?) the firstborn, would be nice to keep!

P.S. The kittens were 33 hours old in these pix.

I wouldn’t have been able to let any of them go.

Ah – so lovely. I love the look on mom’s face in that last one. Keep the calico at least! My beloved Cleo was a calico.

Oh Jannie .. how absolutely adorable .. gosh were you expecting this?! Bet Kelly’s having a ball with the little souls … Mum would love to see one – can you send Eenie, Meenie or Miney down the tube? We’ll send her back real soon .. the Rare Breeds Sheep Farm centre brought in a new lamb recently .. and my mother was seen staring in blank amazement at it .. and she had a brief stroke of her wol …
Beautiful and so heart warming .. lovely – cheers and nearly American Mother’s Day .. xoxoxox Hilree

EVERYBODY, whooohooo!!
BRIAN! Rock N Roll cats, I think?
And Happy Monday to YOU!!
PAT! I’m surprised actually how receptive to me she has been about her babies. Makes me feel so happy she trusts me with her little angels.
MAMA ZEN! You’re really not all that far away, what 700? 800? miles?
They sure are sweet little thangs!
RAVENBLACK! we might keep one. Will that make us animal hoarders? They are so dear, and with their own little personalities already.
LYNN! That one is unique. And so sweet, like all of them. Thinking of keeping one, it’ll be Kelly’s choice which one if we do. I think Mieshka would freak if all her babies were suddenly given away. We’ll see. This is my very first time at this kitten thing since I was Kelly’s age — 38 years ago.
ED! Great name. They could be a band. Yes, that little face is just precious. They all are, little sweet smiling things.
HILARY! I only suspected about 3 weeks ago. had no idea she would be so “active” on her first heat, just when I was thinking it was time to have her spayed. Living and learning what happens when one has a pet dor installed. Yes, I can send all FOUR down the tube!!! And you can KEEP them.
As I said above, I’m softening to let Kelly (and Mieshka) keep one. Will that make us animal hoarders? We’ll be getting Mieshka and the little one spayed. Oh, a lamb, how precious. Yesm only 6 more days till our “mothering sunday.”
DR. J.! He (or she?) is very unique. So cute. We may have to add him or her to our family. But that will be IT for pets.
toodles…..

Awww, so sweet! They are darling, Jannie.

Jannie said,
Daisy — they really are. Falling in love with them. And their names are now Primo, Karma, MooShoo & Clue. Kelly’s names, except Primso’ my idea. They are just soooooooo cuuuuuuuute. Jim said we can keep one if he gets a parrot. So… we may not be keeping one of these little darling babies after all. I find it’s enough work keeping after the parakeets, as much as I love them. We’ve already have one neighbor-friend peek at the kittens today. He may take one. And hopefully 2!!
They are super-cute tho, and getting moreso each minute.

They are adorable, but then I am a sucker for kitties. I didn’t know she was in the family way, but I’m glad mom and babies are doing well. I expect to see lots of baby pictures!

LINDA! Well, she got preggers on her first heat — surprised the heck outta me too. Since she’s only a year old I wanted to make sure all were healthy before broadcasting to everyone. Yes, all doing grrrreat, thankfully. They are SOOOO SWEET, jsut darling little angels. And Mieshka is such a wonderful mom. Nature is so amazing Yes,you’ll see lots of baby pix. Kelly has taken some great ones on her phone. And once they’re mobile I’ll be catching them on my good cam in some cute poses, I’m sure.

Oh damn it, those kittens are adorable. I love the first shot.

Jannie Funster said,
Alice Audrey, I’m not sure how his (or her?) nose got so pink, but now almost 2 weeks later, it still is — with just a bit of black on the tip. Yep, they’ll be 2 weeks old tomorrow morning. Eyes fully open now. NOt sure yet if they like me or not, but I’m working at it.
MARY D!! Why, I am so happy these little fluff balls touched you. A true miracle. This weekend I’m gonna put up a photo at the local stores for adopting them out. It’s been a few days since I took photos. And you know what? They have ended up with the names Primo, Clue, Mooshoo & Karma. And getting sweeter each day.
LLCoolJoe! And you should see them NOW! Cuter and cuter by the day. Thinking now we’ll adopt all 4 out. We do have a full household. So we’ll enjoy them, then set them free to share the love with others wanting cats.

Imagine how it would feel to have that many babies at once Jannie. Your breast feeding may benefit from a milking machine and other reinforcements…

Dearest Liara, that momma cat is eating us out of house and home. She likes the canned food best, and not the 40 cent kind — the 50 cent cans! Yet, she remains so skinny. Takes a lot of energy growing those 4 sweeties!
Here is a photo I took of them a few hours ago. They will be 4 weeks old in not too many hours from now, halfway to adoption age, I reckon.
And here they are…

Oh, and Liara, the momma cat is NOT possessed, as that photo may lead one to believe.
Funny expression I caught on her.

Wow finally got to load all these pics in under a half hour! So cute!
I definately think the “Spot” one has the coolest markings. I would’ve named him Spot too… or maybe Dot…
Don’t feel bad- Mischief is so old (13) she’s spoiled on the .79 green Medley cans. I try to split it up with other ones, but she’s too picky.
I must say your pics are awesome!
