Xander

...also known as Kenokki, Kehari, Kenopää.

On a scale just after he was born, looking like a little alien.


Houston, we have an eye! Just one for starters... Xander was the first of the kittens to open his eyes.


He was such a caracter, poor little thing had a crooked neck and his head was tilted to one side all the time, hence the nicknames. It didn't slow him down a bit ;)


Watching skaters at Brahenkenttä.


Chatting with pals.


Learning to use the toilet.


And here he is, all grown up and handsome!

Happy 7th Birthday Guinness!

Only Alice is missing....


"The proper order of things is often a mystery to me. You, too?" - Cheshire Cat, Alice in Wonderland

An useful lesson from Lemony Snicket

"If you are allergic to a thing, it is best not to put that thing in your mouth, particularly if the thing is cats." ~Lemony Snicket

Darla

Darla weighed 70 grams when she was born. I've never seen anything so tiny and perfect before.


Here she is couple of days old, still her eyes closed.


Bigfoot ;)


Here she is three weeks old.



She was the first of the kittens to leave "the nest", one night she had moved from my bathroom to the livingroom and was sleeping under their scratching post. Since she was so tiny it took me awhile to find her ;) Even if I carried her back, she would stubbornly wonder out again. The others soon followed.

A perfect place for a little nap - right next to the heater.


"My, what big ears you have!"


Chillin' with mom.


Darla with her "little" brothers Spike and Xander.

Vampires?!?!?

"One is never sure, watching two cats washing each other, whether it's affection, the taste, or a trial run for the jugular." ~Helen Thomson

Mad hatter

"You can't help that. We're all mad here." - The Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland






"Uh oh, all this maddness hurts my head!"

Hello Kitties

Couple of years ago Buffy got kittens. Here she is week before those kittens were born.


The best place to give birth was in a same basket with Guinness and Ola. I guess she felt safe there.


The little guys were naturally named in the same fashion than their momma,

Darla


Xander


and Spike!


Although kittens = chaos it was the most amazing experience to see them open their eyes for the first time, learn to walk, learn to eat and to grow up to be proper cats.


Here the kittens are 4 days old.



And here 4 weeks.
