The kittens are getting soooooo cute! They are still really tiny, but their eyes are open and their turning into cute little fur balls! One of them is a good bit bigger and stronger than the other 2, she gets up on all fours and crawls around. Anyway, here are the pictures from the latest Kitten Photo Shoot!

We tried to get a close-up of the one that is mostly black, but Diva took her right out of Michael’s hand, jumped down and carried him under the bed! Maybe next time =)

Maggie just loves the kittens! She tries to get really close - Diva usually has no problem with that at all.

Michael did a great job with the picture taking!

This little fur ball (above) is the strongest kitten that walks around.

We’ll put more photos out soon! I can’t wait till they can play!

Well, Diva had her babies! It took around 2 hours, of course we were there with camera in hand. She did great - took care of them very well throughout. She had 4 but lost 1 =(. But, that leaves us 3 itty bitty kittens and a very happy Mama Kitty that is purring up a storm.

I have tons of photos from the birth - but they are sooooo graphic that I refrained from putting them out here (you’re welcome).

In these pictures, the kittens are about 12 HOURS old. Really they aren’t very cute when they are this young. They look like little mice! I am eagar to see how they change and turn into little cutie pies over the next few weeks =)

Diva and her babies:

She’s a good Mama Cat, and very tired.

Mike held up each kitten so I could get pictures.  Diva didn’t like it at all. She got really ansy so I tried to be quick, which is why I only got one shot of 1 of them. Maggie didn’t like it either - she is very protective, too funny.

They are about 14 HOURS old here:

I’ll be posting updated pictures over the next few weeks - FUN!
We’re thinking of names for them. Hmmmm, nothing good yet. If you have any ideas, post them!  I know I’ll at least see something from Gin, Chris and David, right?

Looks like our little Diva is ready to explode with her litter of kittens. She is showing all the tell-tale signs of “maybe tonight” so we are keeping the camera close by. Exciting!

Now, it’s not that we need a litter of kittens - surely we do not. This is her first and will definitely be the last - but seeing new life is just soooo exciting, and I can’t wait!
