Who wants to see a three-week old kitty?
Here's our one survivor, Alphie.

With mama kitty.

Sorry about the blur - used natural light to avoid blinding the kitty.

...keep him in the family.

3. You've redefined cute.
Nice work. The rest of us have to work harder now, dammit.

I kid. Alphie is cute at a level most of us will never experience. Love the last pic with mama.

:thumbsup:

7. Thanks, man...
:pals:

The pics looked a lot better in the camera - but I'm glad they got the cuteocity across. Mama kitty (Daisy Jane) was a rescue who will now be spayed. ;-)

4. There is something so unusual about his face.
Adorable!! Kinda lion-like, or maybe I mean panther. Something. It's escaping me atm.

10. It was pretty sad
A small litter to begin with - one stillborn, two born, but one of them did not 'thrive' and only made it two days :(

Alphie's a peach, tho.

11. We wnet through that with puppies. Unbeknownst to us, our doggie had a uterine infection
and she went out to go to the bathroom and instead delivered all these puppies all over the yard that we didn't find until much later. Most were malformed or stillborn. One, "Squeaky" made it for a bout a day or 2, but that was it. :cry:

Glad Alphie is ok. :) Hope he continues to do well.

13. Alphie is just so dignified!
I can't even believe it. He's astoundingly beautiful. He has such a sweet face, he looks almost human with that expression. :loveya:

21. Mama looks pretty young
Might have been her first heat/litter. That would explain the poor results.

Alphie's definitely a keeper :loveya:

31. You should see the schnauzer and JRT watch him
They hang over the side of the bed like Snoopy doing his vulture impression. Just watch him for hours. They're both females, and the schnauzer is very maternal - she even gives baths to the mama cat on occasion. IT's all very cute.

:hi: Bunny!

While I am sad about the kittens that did not make it, I can see that Alphie will be a source of great joy.

Good job, Mamma Cat!
