The kittens are now a week old, and for this post I’ll focus on mom’s mini me. She’s a tortie calico and evidently has the personality to show for it. She started opening her eyes yesterday and started… Breathing heavily at us. We wondered if she had a respiratory issue, but she’s totally fine when we aren’t around so… She’s hissing at us.
She popped out of mom and was latched and feeding within minutes. When the cat cam alerts us to movement, it’s usually her flopping around trying to walk. We haven’t weighed them, but she’s a bit bigger than her siblings. She’s gonna be a handful and hopefully we can find someone who can handle her.
Edit to add: we have confirmed the colors! We have one tortico, one void, one tuxedo, and one who appears gray but might maybe be a muted calico.
At that age, kittens will hiss at every smell that’s not their siblings or mother. If you keep up being near them as often as possible, they’ll soon get used to you.
Good to know!
