All Cats are Aristocrats

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Countess-Palatine Nola the Ceaseless of Fiddlehope in the Marsh Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

So I decided I needed a title too!

Small but Mighty

Gooseberry, the smallest of the bunch holds her own against her brothers and sisters and even fends off Mulberry's motherly efforts.

The Berries have moved from the newborn nursery to a room of their own. They are making the most of it, running and climbing like crazies. They range in weight from 15 ounces, Gooseberry, to 1 lb 4 oz (Huckleberry) Mulberry does her best to keep them in line but every day she asks for a room of her own!

Stepping Out

The Berries are picking up speed! They walk with more confidence and are much more interactive with each other and with me. Sometimes when they swat at their brother's tail they don't even fall down! They act more like cats every day.

Playtime

Three weeks old now the Berries have learned to sit up. They walk with more confidence and are beginning to step over their sibs instead of on them! Now they are beginning to play and chew on each other. Note the tiny extremely sharp claws. Mulberry takes great care of them but is clearly longing for a little adult conversation. She's very proud of her family but reminds me that she is a darling kitty who deserves attention too.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Mulberry wishes a happy day to all mothers.............and anyone who had a mother. :)

The EYES Have It!

What a difference the last week has made. Eyes are open and the Berries are working hard on being more mobile. They are even beginning to play in their own baby ways. Mama Mulberry is rightfully proud.

Comforts of Home

Mulberry is a great mom but apparently you can't please all the kittens all the time. Check out the displeased looking fella in the center of the picture. He's sleeping peacefully with a full tummy but he still looks like he's trying out for Disapproving Rabbits http://www.disapprovingrabbits.com/

The quilt is now hanging on the sale wall at Bloomington Veterinary Hospital. All quilt sale proceeds help homeless animals.

Kittens now have EYES! This is wonderful and they are much cuter when their eyes open. At this point they are also much more active and harder to photograph. I'll try for pictures soon.

They're the Berries!

Mama Mulberry and her six adorable babies have moved into the nursery. They are 8 days old today so it's too soon to know much about them. So far they eat and dream. The smallest is 6 3/4 oz and the big bruiser weighs in at 8 oz. Mulberry is the sweetest mom ever .
