Well, the 4-5 grams doesn't seem to happen often. In one week, they've doubled in both length & weight - all 7 about equally. Today (day 10) they started opening their eyes. However: While some have both eyes open, there are at least two with one eye open, and the other eye partially open...

Day two weigh-in: They've gained 4, 5, 14, 9, 6, 23 & 10 grams respectively. 23?? Yes, I weighed it twice. Unless I really screwed up the weighing yesterday, we've got a nipple hog on our hands. The main problem I'm having is between #3 and #4, and #5 and #6, telling them apart. They are SO...

I think it's a different one; I'm keeping an eye on them. Last time, there were two. I looked at her and discovered that she does indeed have eight nipples; there are two smaller ones just behind her front legs. However, I'm not sanguine about their efficacy; they're much smaller, and don't...

Also, something strange: This is the third time I've found one or more of the kittens outside of the box. Why would she move them? I don't want them on the cold, hard floor.

So tomorrow they ought to be at 1: 117; 2: 114; 3: 124; 4: 107; 5: 135; 6: 101; and 7: 121 or better? If the two smallest aren't gaining as much, how will I know when I need to intervene?

I picked up a kitchen scale today; they're three days old, and this is my first weigh-in. 1: 107; 2: 104; 3: 114; 4: 97; 5: 125; 6: 91; and 7: 111. So I'm obviously watching #4 & #6 the most, since they're much smaller. Two big ones, three medium ones, and two small ones. How much weight...

Here are some more pictures! They're in the order of birth. The hard ones to tell apart are the two striped ones, but #4 has darker stripes than #3. If we're planning on giving them away/selling them, should we name them? ...and a couple more... Proud mama guards her kittens...

Our local vet only charges $10 to spay or neuter (I won't be able to wait THAT long for the kittens); any idea how much they might charge for the shots?

Florence, SC. I've seen people pay up to $50 for kittens, no particular breed. $200-$500 for puppies, the latter for specific breeds and/or ones with "papers."

People can get puppies from a shelter, too - yet there's still people paying $500 for these dogs at the Flea Market. It's about convenience. These pictures were taken when there were only five. I'm taking new pics tomorrow.

I'll keep the weight in mind. Yeah, I'm at least as good as a Tom. I did pretty well with my son. It's just that feeling, you know? I'm sure most ladies are better at this than most guys; at least they have the natural inclination toward babies - in general.

I'm guessing that I can pick up a scale at the local pet store. What's the ideal weight?

Hello out there! I'm a first-time cat daddy. We've had cats all my life, but this is my first time caring for a pregnant cat, and now a mommy cat. When we moved into our trailer, she was living under it (there's also about five others). However, she kept sneaking into the house somehow. It...
