Hi everyone! I wanted to get some advice on what these kittens will look like. They’re only two weeks old, so I know it’s too early to tell, but I just wanted some opinions .
This is their mom, she’s a really sweet stray short hair that’s been living in our garden Since she was Really young (about two years ago).
This is her other kitten, about four months old (he was the only kitten in the litter)
The first pic is the kittens the day after they were born,
then the next pics are them now (sorry they’re blurry!).
The calicos are all female and the spotted and tabby are male. The males and the dilute calicos have very different fur; it’s very cottony feeling (if u can tell here)
The others have much longer and silkier fur. The calicos have much wider faces and they’ve been growing a lot faster than their siblings. Is it possible for them to be different breeds? They don’t look alike in terms of fur and size. Also, do the calicos look like they could potentially grow to be medium hair? I just noticed that their tails are a lot fluffier than their siblings and wanted to know if that could be the reason (don’t know what their dad looks like but their mom is shorthair and they look very different then she did when she was a kitten).
I’m thinking of giving a few of them away to friends when they’re old enough (we have a cat and she doesn’t like other cats around) if they are too long haired because it’s really hot where I live. If not, they can live with their mom and older brother in our garden because we feed them, plus the older cats are happy and are really attached to us.
I also wanted to ask, one of the kittens who was the runt is still much smaller then her siblings but she seems to be progressing the same. Is it something to worry about?
Thank you guys!
