Bath Time for Kittens

Most of these photos were taken 3 days ago while the babies were still sick.

The larger kitten cat in the photos is Sweepy (brother of Sooty) who is just 6 months old and from the previous litter of the kittens momma. He, for some very strange reason, has taken to mothering them a bit now and then...

He's about half grown now.

Poor guy doesn't realise, but he is for the 'snip' in a few weeks... Maybe that will help his mothering skills... (When I can catch the Mother she is also having her 'fun' curtailed!)



Dinner Time Today...

  1. Have the twins found a sort of surrogate-mother or is she Mona?

    They look like soft black little clouds :)

    Kiss-kiss

  2. No, the grey cat in the photos is a boy kitten cat called Sweep. He is their brother as his mother is also Mona. He is just 6 months old and was born April 2009. So only half grown.

    And yes, they are beautiful soft little balls of love :o) But then I'm just a tad biased...
