Calina's second litter, born 5 May.. Picture 15 May 2012.
The kittens, in birth order, are:
Ariana - a female seal colourpoint kitten at 10 days old, 15 May 2012
Alexander - a male black tabby Siberian kitten at 9 days old, 14 May 2012
Alfredo ('Alfie') - a male blue colorpoint Siberian kitten at 10 days old, 15 May 2012
Calina is a great mum, and the kittens are all thriving. Each is gaining weight steadily, wriggling for best feeding position, and sending out a chorus of squeeks every time Calina returns to the nest. They have just opened their eyes, but are still very wobbly on their feet.
Our lovely vet Justine did a house visit on Monday to do the kittens’ first health check. They were pronounced healthy and adorable!

Our other 2 Siberians, Harley and Mari, are VERY curious about what’s happening in the ‘nursery’, but won’t get a peek until the kittens are 6 weeks old. Until then, Calina will have to update them during her occasional forays through the rest of the house.
