No Place Like Home

Finally weekend and a calm one as well! Great to be at home all day to spend as much time with family, cats and kittens as possible :)

The kittens are developing nicely. Anansi is a copy of earlier Nicky-babies (like Tigrinya and Yawning Angel) but even more strongly built. A sweetheart who loves to cuddle in my lap or hands, purring with the cutest sound. Stardust is a great mix between Nicky and Chai. Coraline is more mummy in her looks and she seem to be a bit more adventurous than the others, already trying to walk around with outstretched legs. The only boy, Sandman, is a mummy's boy but cuddly and sweet as well and has a strong resemblance to earlier Nicky-sons. They all purr when being cuddled and it feels like a privilege to have a last litter after Nicky who will be neutered the week after next.

The kittens are promising in type. Great bone structure, amazing chins, promising ears and look but perhaps not the longest bodies or tails. A social bunch :) It is easier to see the details I recognise from Nicky's side as I know them so well, but I'm sure they have inherited a lot from mummy as well. Full of life, they are crawling around, exploring - early like we are used to. Chai is a great mum, taking care of them just as she should. She is also happy and relaxed and takes her breaks when the babies are asleep, running around together with Nessie, creating chaos as usual...
