This one is litter I!

The other announcement is our surprise litter from Erika and Mumbai! We didn't intend on having Erika have a litter right now but things do happen. So, we are now blessed with 7 beautiful and healthy babies! Erika is such a great mom and is fortunate to have easy pregnancies and smooth births. This one did take longer than normal but Mumbai seems to have passed on his large size to his babies. Our brown classic baby was 130 grams at birth! Average is 90-110 so he was well above average. In face the smallest kitten was 108 and most were nearly 120. Way to go Erika!

This litter is 6 males and only 1 female. We plan to keep the female to monitor her development and possibly retain for our breeding. We get females from Erika so seldom that we want to grab the chance while we can.

Here is a picture of the kittens - some of them anyway

Notice the clear markings on the brown tabbies.

Here's Erika coming in to lick her babies.

See the little brown tabby boy - he has a white mask.
