Aww, wonderful pics - you should be OK taking pics of them now, it is more before they close their eyes and soon after, as they are delicate. The grey and white is lovely, I have a soft spot for greys
Please spay your cat

Liza, I haven't a clue. It makes me teary just thinking about it, and I haven't even had much contact to get attached to them yet.

The pics aren't much good, cos they were asleep, and eating, but I'll take a few more over the weekend.

Hey!

All's going really well. Jasmine got her collar off on Monday. She was giving herself a good wash and scratch for about an hour after, bless her  :Luv:
Babies are huuuge!
I haven't got any new pics cos I haven't liked to take them now their eyes are open, but it's a very bright day so the camera might work with no flash. I'll have a go later  ;)

Aww, I love Happy, but it doesn't really suit him

The windows are on baby catches so she can't get out of them. I'm not sure I've even got a fan  :-:

There's been a change of name. Happy is now Meeko, which suits him so much better.

Still all doing well, they are too cute with their little eyes open. Jasmine gets the collar off on Monday morning. It's only just today I've noticed her pawing it, trying to get it off herself. But she's so hot today, I've got the windows open, but it's still roasting in here.

The kits look in great condition: you and Jasmine have been doing really well ;D

Most of my cats have had 'witchy' names like Bella, Minnie, Polly, Samantha, Grisselda, all except for Max, who was 4 years old when I had him and knew his name too well to change it.

A Disney theme would be great. How about Thumper?

Kittens are so cute.  :blow kiss:

Ohhh Tinkerbell is good! I think she kinda looks like a Tink  ;D
I really don't know about the little boy, he doesn't look like any name I can think of. The little grey and white one would probably suit Tinkerbell most of all cos she's half the size of the other two. She eats plenty, but I think she's just going to be a small cat like her Mammy.

My friend suggested Simba or Bambi  :-:

Belle is good but Thomas O'Malley will end up plain old "Tom"  :evillaugh:

Tom said to tell you he likes his name fine  :rofl:

mmm - I suppose Tom suits some cats - bit too "alley cat" for me  :evillaugh:
