Isis 2nd Litter


	This page will have photos of our kittens when each litter arrives, we aim to keep it updated regularly when this happens... We just had a litter of Usual/Ruddy Abyssinians born on February 16th 2009!


	The first born, Isis and Solo’s son as yet unnamed but very much loved by all here. Oh and it looks like he has a good set of ear tufts on him, just like both of his parents! :)


	The largest of the litter and the first born daughter of Isis and Solo, nicknamed BG for now, she’s a sweet and cuddly little thing and the only one of the kittens without clear ear tufts from day 1, but we’ll see as her ears are very fluffy right now! :)


	The smallest and last born of the kittens is nicknamed LG for now, unlike her bigger sister LG has a fine set of ear tufts on her. She’s just as vigourous as her brother and sister, even if she’s the smallest so I expect she’ll catch up with them pretty quickly! :)


	Regardless of size, sex and birth order all the kittens are doing fantastically well and have been all gaining weight consistently - so far 15g’s a piece in just 12 hrs! It seems Isis milk is just the stuff for growing big and strong on and this lot plan on getting plenty of it over the next few weeks! :)


	The kittens are now all nearly double their birth weight and far more active between feeds, making taking photos of them far more difficult. However they are still sleeping much of the time so for now we’ll have to make do with mostly sleeping kitten photos! ;)


	Boy and LG at 4 days old, BG was too fast for me to get a shot of her though! ;)


	LG & BG sleeping happily as Boy decides to nose dive his way in between them, though they soon got comfortable again, even if BG had to sleep with Boy’s leg over her neck! ;)


	Boy on the left above and BG on the right, both now have at least one eye fully open and are enjoying discovering their world, as is LG below lift, with her eyes partly open.


	Above, right: Boy once more this time showing of his fully opened eye. Below, left: Boy looking around a bit and Below, right: BG doing exactly the same, with Isis in the background.


	Below, Left: Boy posing nicely for the camera, now 2 weeks old. Centre: BG looking very cute and Right: LG squirming and being pretty vocal about it all! ;)


	Below, left: BG shows off her new found skill and sits up on her own, right: Boy has a little help from LG to do the same! ;)


	Above, left: BG shows LG how to give Boy a good smacking round the ears, right: Boy shows LG what will happen to her if she tries it, by pinning BG’s head down! You’re right they are endlessly amusing! :)


	Below, left: Boy shows off how well he’s now walking, just a few more days now and there’ll be no stopping them all! Right: BG thinks about pouncing on the toy we are using to get her attention! ;)


	Above, left: LG poses nicely for the camera, showing just how well she can sit as well as how much her ears have moved in the last 24 hrs! Centre: BG once more showing that she can sit, even if she won’t pose like LG does and then (right) she’s off again to investigate the camera!


	To the right, you can see Boy and BG sleeping as LG is awake and watching Isis intently, as she shows her how to make the little toy cow move and the bell ring, by tapping the elastic cord that it’s on. LG is a fast learner and is now getting the hang of patting the cow to make the bell ring, which in turn tends to wake up her siblings so that she can play with them! ;) It’s certainly very entertaining to watch them learn these new skills... :) Just as long as they don’t practice them in the middle of the night! ;)


	Below, left: BG Sleeping with her favourite toy, right: Boy playing patty-cake with BG! :)


	Above, left: LG poses, Boy sleeps and BG keeps a firm hold on her beloved ball, right: LG posing once more for the camera! :)


	Below, left to right: LG gets her morning wash, BG decides to show she can sit nicely for a photo and lastly Boy stretching out and enjoying the bed before bounding off to play again! :)


	Below, left: LG smiling for the camera shortly after deciding solid food is actually good! :) Right: Boy sound asleep in my arms after a good dinner and lots of play time with his sisters.


	Above, left: LG fast asleep next to our friend and occasional kitty sitter, right: BG in my other half’s hand shortly before being taken up to bed! :) Below, left to right: Boy sleeping, LG making new friends and BG taste testing my hubby, just in case she fancies a snack! ;)


	Below, Left, Top: Isis feeding the kittens, you can see how much bigger they are now! Right, Top: Setra with the squirrel, Middle: Enta trying to catch the squirrel’s tail, here eyes are starting to take on their adult colour now! Bottom: Ramses refereeing the girls as they have a play fight. Left, Bottom Elzar posing with his ball! :)


	Below, Left: Enta posing beautifully for the camera, Middle: Elzar restraining his urge to be on the go for just long enough for me to get a reasonable shot of him and Right: Setra doing her best to pose as nicely as her sister for a change! As you can see they all have their ticked adult coats starting to come in now, which makes a big difference to how they look.


	Below, left: Our little Setra taking in a bit of sun in the run on the kitty house, middle: Enta showing us that she can make it all the way up into the “Penthouse” area and right: Elzar playing “hide and seek with us - one second we saw him the next he was off running round! ;)


	Below, left: All the kittens fast asleep in the big cat bed, Elzar at the back seeming to smile, Setra sprawled in the middle and Enta all curled up with the pom-pom in front of her. Right, top: Enta looking very sweet, below: One very sleepy Setra face! :)


	Below, left: Enta having taken possession of the “Penthouse” level of the cat condo as usual, she really does love it up there! Right: Elzar refusing to give up his spot on the corner cat seat to his mother, Isis, later found there soaking up the sun on his tummy! ;)


		Below: Elzar wearing a sleeping Setra as a scarf. Right, top: An Elzar Sandwich, bottom: Enta using Elzar’s bottom as her pillow! ;)

Day 86 - Enta using Elzar's bottom as a pillow


	Below: The kittens and what is now apparently their little cooler bag, having hours of fun together! ;) First Setra hides in the bag and then Enta and Elzar look for her, at last she is found and the fun begins once more! It’s been just so entertaining to watch them playing with the bag that I guess it’s become their latest toy... :)

Below: Clockwise from the top right: Setra decides that Elzar needs a little extra mothering it seems! ;) Elzar thinks Setra’s face needs a wash; Elzar in the garden pouncing daisies while trying out the kitten harness; Enta playing in long grass when she had her tern in the harness; and lastly Enta sunning herself as Isis lets Elzar have a little top up of milk in the run! :)

Day 97 - Enta sunning herself as Elzar gets some milk off of Isis in the run

Below: Clockwise from the top right: Setra and Enta decide to see how well they can both fit in a small IKEA bag, next it looks like Setra and Enta have decided it’s a good fit! Elzar looks on in mild astonishment at his sisters from on top of the ying-yang scratcher, it seems he thinks they are silly. Meantime the girls pose for the camera, until Elzar finally looses interest... ;)

Day 108 - Setra and Enta, 2 for the price of 1 at IKEA
