Kärlekskullen/The Love-litter


 

The Lovelitter was our second litter, and a fantastic experince, just as the forst one. They were born on feruary 14:th 2008 and there were two boys and four girls. Sadly the black male "Lufsen" didn't make, we had to eunuthatise him after 58 hours. But there were still five spotted beautiful babies left! Four red girls and one chocolate male.

The first 24 hours we had to hand-feed them, since mum Nora is B-blood and dad Jesus is A-blood. But no worries at all, and they all started too feed beautifully after those 24 hours, and Nora was a fantastic, trusting mum.From the left at the photo is S*Besito's Long Lost Love - Lina - who now lives with FIN*Tiktun in Finland. After that S*Besito's Origin of Love  - Poppy - who lives with my friens Jina in Karlstad along with her two neutered females Thea and Luna. Poppy will stay in the kattery for one or two litters before she is taken over by jina.S*Besito's Loveson of a Preacherman - Hemlis - is also still in the kattery but lives with my friend Caroline and her family here in Mariestad along with dad Jesus. After a few litter he will be theirs.After him we have S*Besito's Love me to Pieces - Tottis -  who also lives with a friend of mine! Maria i Skövde has cattery S*Guzmanias. And last but not least;  S*Besito's Love me to Pieces - Molly - who lives with hos Kristina at the island Visingsö.

When the kittens were almost 14 weeks old we took them to a show, where they became BIS-litter Kat III against a cornishlitter and a burmillalitter. I was, and still am., SO proud!

This is the littes' diary:

Nora is probably pregnant! If she really is, she is due on Valentine´s day


 

080111

Noras tummy is growing!! I don't really think it cam be much else than kittens... And she has a hysterical temper, especially towards her daughter!! Sometimes she just walks up to Laa-laa and smacks her... And Laa-laa is just walking away thankfully. No catfights.


Looking over her territory


Well it COULD be just a very good kitchen, bur I seriously doubt that...


I just love her SO much!!!


Wonderful dad!


I think he likes it here... And we like having him here!!!

Last night they were born! A Valentinelitter as I had wished for!!! Or well at least two of them showed on Valentinesday and that's enough for me. She har been showing "signs" the last few days but I was starting to think they were going to stay forever... But then she told me that she WILL have babies so I rushed to keep her company. The first little red darling showed him or herself at 11.13pm and then they continued...


Mum it hurts! Please massage my tummy as Päivi told you to...


Two little redheads!! The first one at 11.13pm and the second one at 11.25pm


mummy licking them clean


and so the third one arrived at 00.16!!!


The other to resting nice and warm between to warm bottles


The fourth one arrived at 00.37


Then we were out of redheads and the torties began instead!! The first tortie at 01.43am and the second tortie at 02.10am


A whole bunch! Six all together!


curly furry little darlings


Busan inspecting our little miracles....

Today we are in greif. The little black kitty was cold and slow this morning, and barely reacted as we tried to wake him up. So we took the hard decision to let him go over the rainbowbridge. He wolud have died very soon anyhow and we didn't want him to be in pain. Then we buried him at the petcemetary alongside our domestic cat Simba who died last spring. Martina and Marcus (our kids) had named him "Lufsen" and we were all upset. So we cried for a while and talked about lite and the responsibility we humans have to our pets to not let them suffer. The kids took it well and Martina has been talking about Lufsen all day long. We will always carry him with us in our hearts!

The little tortie is now a brown spotted male... Or at least we think so. It's NOT a tortie anyhow so he must be a male. Hes name given by the kids is "Serafina". Well time will show us the colour, right now we are so pleased he gains weight and eats!

The red ones are also spotted I think. Just now they look like three girls and one boy. Exciting... They look very much alike so they haven't been given names yet. They are left fron, left back, right fron and right back for the moment!

Nora is a fantastic mum! She goes away to go to the toilet or ask me for company, otherwise she spends all the time in the box with her kids. I love her, she is SO fantastic!


Two redheads cosying together


All six in a row!


They almost therew themselves over Nora as we removerd the body 24hrs after the last kitten was born. And the were each stuch to one nipple for the following hours. They didn't gain much weight the comming 24 hrs, but they didn't loose weight either, so thats fine.


But on sunday morning Lufsen had lost 10grams during the night and was so cold and tiered. H was only 58 hours old. Bye bye little darling, rest in peace. You will stay in our hearts forever...


 

080220

Now I have had a friend over to try to decide what sex the red guys are. And the result - probably female all four of them. I have also decided on names, but I cant really say who is who just bu looking at the photos...



S*Besito's Sacred Love


S*Besito's Long Lost Love maybe?


S*Besito's Love in Return.


S*Besito's Loved by You


S*Besito's Love me to Pieces. Or if it's one of the others... Happy the all have nailpolish!

And they are tring their best to keep me calm by gaining weight ans be warm at all time and move and make noices when I look at them!!


080221

Some new photos today as well. They are still gaining weight exceptionally good! Nora is a fine mum and she is now even nice with her older daughter Laa-laa, fantastic!! Busan is often keeping an eye of the babies, but if she is there as an extra mum or if she just enjoys beeing under the infrared light, well, I don't know...

All five in "cuddlebundle".


It looks SO cosy!!!


Mums food is THE BEST!!


I really like this transport box it is perfect for kittens!! And it also works vert well in the car if we go on longer trips. Best buy!!!


 

080228

Now the kittens are two weeks old. They are growing rapidly and gaining weight evert day. I haven't needed to help with food at all, wven though Nora couldn't feed the first 24hrs. My darling darling perfect kittenmum! She is so fantastic with her kids!! And it looks like she really enjoys beeing a mum. She is so much more calm and tender with everone - kittens and us. When not having kids she's more of a "little bitch" but of course we always love her. Or well at least I do, the kids think shes not THAT funny...
 

S*Besito's Sacred Love is the only boy in the litter


I will keep him in the cattery and hopefully exchange matings. Unfortunatley I can't use him on my own queens..


I hope he continues to develop in the right direction!


Miss "left frontpaw" - the girls are presented after their markings since I haven't decided which one will have which name yet




Nora wonders what we are doing...


Miss left backpaw


Her neck is getting stedier!


This is a bit scary but very exciting


Miss right fronpaw


Mostly looking down in the sheet


Look I can hold my head up!


Miss right backpaw


As for now she is my favourite!


But I will take my time to choose what girl will stay!


Well now Nora is getting a bit tiered and wants her kids back


Photosessionen was ended when Nora took her baby back to the nest. Of course we respected that!!

Kittens already three weeks old! Last sunday one of the girls had lost some weight. I thought it was just temporary, but unfortunatley it wasn't. Monday she had lost even more weight and also seemed a bit dehydrated, so I started to panic a bit. Thank you Anita from Streetcat's Maine Coon who helped me get hold of saline, syringes and needles! Of course, no vets open at 10pm...
I started to rehydrate the little girl, and on tuesday morning I called my vet and got an appointment at 11.45am. He saw what I saw, a little girl, a bit dehydrated, no fever, a little tiered but not much. No other signs. So he rehydrated her again and instructed me to continue rehydrating her twice a day for two days, and then come back if she wasn't better.
As I came home, I felt an ugly smell from the kittenbox, and discovered a diahorrea. Found out witch kitten it came from, and called the vet again. He told me to come back and get some "Pro-Kolin" - probiotics - and give her that, and continue rehydrating kitten who needed it. On saturday, they were all fine again! They have all lost weight and became dehydrated, but they all soon got better again. I'm so thankful I was teched to weigh my kittens every day. That made us catch this in an early stage, thankfully. Now they are all fine and playing and growing.
Nora didn't really like me husteling the kittens all the time, so she started to move them around. But then in the end we agreed on letting them stay in the kittenbox and now everyone is calm and happy again. Nora is a fantastic mother!!!


Here they all are, placed on a down-pillow, by noras chiose...





Little guy S*Sacred Love. I don't know if he's brownspotted or chocolatespotted?


But I have sent a DNA so soon we will know for sure. Exciting!





Miss left front. I think she is the one that will stay in the kattery but I haven't decided yet...


Mum that lady is smelling my butt!!!


But she is kinda nice too that lady...


Miss left back


Mum I got stuck!


Miss right front. Looks a bit surprised...


This sheet smells funny...





Miss right back seems a bit tiered


But still in exploringmode!


I wonder what that smell is on the sheet...


080313

The kittens are now four weeks and everything is happening at once. Ity feels like they'll be moving out tomorrow, slow down the time!!!

They have already started using the litterbox to my big surprise! But they are less interested in food... The kittenbox now stands in a big cage and that works just fine! They are starting to move around and klimbing out of the box so it was really time to move them. Now they can see us och we can see them, perfect



This is how they now live

Well I know I haven't updated in a very long time. The english part of my brain has been asleep or something. The kittens are soon 12 weeks old and will soon start to move from home. I can't believe the time has run so fast!!! And even though I KNOW I have found perfect homes for them, my heart still aches. My babies...

They are now able to get wherever they want. and they also practice that knowledge every day! Thet are all small athletics I think... And our little sewwthearts.


Mummy needs help seewing.


Watching the fabrics for her.


Hemlis - how can someone be so SWEET!!!


Fina Lina playing at my sewingmachine. Quite certain I will stop as soon as she gets there, totally unafraid.


Climbing trees. and, of course, as every sane cat person, as the kittens klimb in the "trees" - you get the camera instead of letting them down on the floor. Of course.


Hemlis and Poppy. Of course the tree is there for YOUR sake, of course my darlings!!!


I will eat you alive!!!


All five in one picture!! Poppy to the left, Hemlis to the right. Lina behind Hemlis, I think Molly at the far back and Tottis in front of Poppy.


Lying in the climbingtree


The climbingtree is very popular!!


Laalis using one of the girs as a pillow. The kitten doesn't seem to mind...


Lina is giving me the angry eye. I probably disturbed her sleep...


All four girls!!


First time outside! Tottis has fallen asleep in the corner.


And Hemlis is NOT dead, he just likes sunbathing!


I just love kissing that little mouth...


Lina showing her nice but a little outgrown profile.
