Thankyou! Yes, I'm pretty sure it is Revolution. They won't be anywhere near a fire, but that is good to know for when we treat our other cats in the middle of winter!
Thank you! The wormer our vets use is a combined wormer and flea treatment, which is topical and placed behind the neck. We were hoping to get most of their vaccines done too.
I'll probably reduce weighing to a couple of times a week (if I can figure out ways to get them on the scale as they...
Our kittens were 3 weeks on Wednesday, and are 3.5 weeks old now.
I weighed them twice a day for the first 2 weeks, and am now weighing them once a day. At what age should I stop/reduce weighing? They all appear to be on the large side for 3.5 weeks!
Blue 474g
Charlie 472g
Delta 503g (!)
Echo...
Thankyou @white shadow and @lutece . I didn't know that greys could have ghost markings! It will be interesting to see how they all change over time. 😁
1 week old (yesterday) pics
They were all in the 230-240g range, so growing very well!
They're 6 days old now, and now in the 201-211g weight range. 😁
I realised I made a mistake with one of the sexing photos. I posted Blue twice, and missed Echo.
Here is Echo. I'm leaning towards girl? But not sure about the circles on the side (white arrows).
Blue, Charlie and Delta are all...
Thankyou. I was thinking B is male, and C is female, but I'm less certain of the other two.
Here is a picture of their faces. They've definitely inherited dad's blaze!! (Pic for comparison below).
Dad (who is the cuddliest lap cat!)
There are 4 kittens. We've named them Blue (3.50pm), Charlie (4.09pm), Delta (5.46pm) and Echo (6.38pm). It's now 8.05pm, and has been an hour and a half since Echo was born, and they are all latched on. Kit is purring and was just eating some soft food that I fed her on a spoon. She now looks...

I couldn't figure out how to reply to multiple messages. I probably won't sleep tonight!! The kittens are nursing now, I'll give them a bit if time and then will change the pads/blankets over.
I didn't realise they'd be so vocal and be able to move so much!
That's seems like such a long time! 20 minutes was super quick, but she had managed to clean the first one up before number 2 came. I can't tell if there are any more by looking or petting so I will just have to wait.
Kittens are here! Two kittens within 20 minutes. Both squeaking and wriggling. How do I know if there are any more coming? It's been 30 minutes since the last one.
Well, the vets estimate was certainly off, and I feel like the boy who cried wolf🐺, so I'm not making any more predictions about when the kittens will be due!
However, small changes, she is spending more time lying on her side, meows at me a little more, and her nipples appear to be larger and...
Yup, I realised pretty quickly I was definitely wrong about them dropping earlier! Kittens were super active a couple of days ago, but have been quieter the last 2 days, but I don't think she has dropped yet. She's had an increase in nesting behaviour but otherwise no major changes.
So we...
