OOhh's and Aahh's

Here they are fooling around in their nest.

Above is Domino.. they weren't very good at looking at the camera,
but there will be more pictures in the future.

And this is Kali.. again, not good at looking at the camera.

So when we visited yesterday, Butterscotch (the mom) was keeping watch outside her nest.. Probably because Alex's Aunt was there and I'm not sure how well Butterscotch knows her. So we pet Butterscotch for a while to distract her and then Alex reached in and grabbed the kittens for us to hold. That's how we got the pictures above.. obvi.

They're so adorable.. 7 weeks is a long time to wait! But as you can see we did name them, Domino and Kali. We're not sure of their gender just yet but Kali has to be a girl since she's calico colored. Their brothers live with Nick and Laurel.. Dilla and Othello.. we can only hope that these kittens will become as fluffy as their bros in DE.

Everything was going really well with holding them, that is until someone put one of them in front of Butterscotch and she got paranoid and tried to take them back to the nest.. here's a picture:

They carry them by their teeth.. Kittens are born with extra
skin on their neck for this exact purpose.

Anyway, right after I took this, Butterscotch dropped her and went over to the nest. Alex but Domino back and then I put Kali back and they fed. I think next time we go (which is Thursday) we'll wait until Butterscotch is out of sight.. that way we won't stress her out. There were a lot of people around this time which i'm sure is not ideal for her.

But they are so adorable, i'll be documenting them everytime we visit so we'll get to see their growth!
