Not that simple...


In the middle of the night, the weak girl started eating and in the morning she was as warm and full of life as the others. Fingers crossed she will make it! The kittens had low birth weights, but they all seem fine so I hope they will make it. (Had to look it up and last litter had low weights as well and they ended up just fine as adults).

Colours then... Well, they are blotched tabby all of them... Very dark such. The tiny spots where the 'brown/silver' parts break through the shiny solid black makes me more confused than give answers - they are all more or less cold... Time will tell. There should be a couple at least. Two has classic amount of white: face, paws/legs, stomach. Two have tiny amount of white: tailtip, medallion, a few toes. Two have no white.

Since they are so tiny, I got a bit confused over the male/female bit ;) Probably four females and two males (those are rather clear at least).

Älva is a proud and happy mum and I am glad I got to keep her company this time. Hoping they will all make it...
