Oh boy oh boy, I can't wait to see their close up shots. Arlene, thanks for keeping those of us waiting for a kitten in the loop. Congratulations on all your hard work and sorry to hear of your losses along the way. Now that Spring is officially two days away, hopefully everything will be turning green with life. Did I say woo hooo already!!!

Yes Ali, I will be posting and sending some pictures of their little sweet faces, but I think it's best when they have their eyes open Kiki's little man is trying and is doing a squint.. so it won't be but another day or two and his eyes will be open and then a face shot! As for Cappi's, well they are about a week behind so I still have time to work the one little girls foot ( which is doing good) .. so it won't be long now till you can see what a baby angle looks like They are so sweet, not a hiss out of one of them when I first held them.. so these will be snuggle bugs.. of coarse the fact that I can't keep my hands off them or stop kissing them could also have something to do with it On another note.. after talking to my vet and a few other breeders, I was convinced to put MeMe right back with a male.. I know they are the most fertile after birth and in nature the female will go right back out and breed as soon as she weans her young and sometimes before.. so with MeMe being still in top condition ( vet checked her out) she is in with Tarzan! I guess if all goes well we will have another litter in about 65 days.. I always felt they needed to rest but I know in nature they sure don't wait.. we'll see how this goes. Right now her mind is on boys and off of her lost baby so that part is a good sign.. She is a big healthy girl ( 16 lbs) so here we go again !

Well! I have gained so much respect for Rachel, for taking a back seat and letting her place in receiving a baby to that grieving lady. Good for you Rachel, you will receive your kindness back in multiples. I remember the feeling when Kiki had our batch. I feel it all over again when I read Ali's posts. Ron and I think that 3 is the magic number tho

Arlene, how great to see pics of Happy Cappi's babies and good hear that the little man is doing well and squinting already! Looking forward to seeing more pics and hearing continued stories of them all and wah-hoo that they are snuggle bugs, that's the best kind!

Yes, Rachel had a deposit down for a male and a female.. but at the time she just took beans as she wanted a Snow Leopard male.. then she changed her mind and wanted a Copper/Ebony poly foot Clouded Leopard.. But since I have more people on my waiting list then kittens, she said she would wait because she at least has one to love on :-) As for the grieving lady.. she will have to wait longer, besides she is shocked at the 'new ' price but as I explained to her everything, even gas cost more now then it did back in 97! So not sure if she will get back on my list, but I still have others who have been waiting a long time and they will come first It's only fair to do it that way.. I won't pick and choose, it is according to their place on the list.. has to be that way,, well at least for me it does As soon as I can get Kim to help me with the little guy of Kiki's I will send new pictures, he has his eyes open now but not real good a focusing ;D Cappi's are also doing the squint so another day and we could have all eyes open and then watch out.. I will be sending a lot of pictures .. they are so darn cute and so sweet.. just yummy

I am very enthusiastic Jackie. As Arlene knows already, I lost my eleven year old orange tabby back in December 2011 and I sure have missed living with a kitty. Never had a desert lynx, and from all the posts and pictures, I can't wait to see the new boys and girls.

That is a problem !! I want to keep them all too! Especially when you bring them into the world :-) Watching them go thru it all from the opening of eyes to the learning of the scratching post and liter box.. their first taste of the bottle I feed them and of coarse their first taste of food.. then i have to hand them off and hope I made the right choice in a home for them.. I'm feeling very good about the new homes this time around, especially since they ;Dare on the forum, it's like a friend :-) Can never thank Dan enough for doing this for us to keep in touch with each other.. Well MeMe was re bred so if all goes well she will have her one or 2 sometime around the middle to end of May so those left out this time might get one:-) I will also re-bred Kiki who has just the one baby now on her second heat after weaning.. so since that should be sometime in or around the end of April, then in June maybe more love bugs for me and OK maybe a few others Right now Kiki is bored with just one, she spends most of her time just laying around and eating.. she is in really good shape and weight.. so no reason not to. Never can have too many !! I don't know Jackie..only 3 Sounds lame to me ;D
