There are two adult cats in these pictures: Marmite is the dark brown one. With her is her chocolate tabby friend, Baby Reckless (Whyoo Reckless): they are devoted to each other, and Baby R is the most wonderful nanny for the babies.
KiTTENS: there are 5 boys: three brown tabby (mink and solid patterns) and two blue tabby (also mink and solid patterns). There is one little girl, a pointed blue. These kittens were ready to go around 3 October 2009.
The kittens will come with their usual goody bag, but a slightly larger one than usual this time, thanks to the kindness of Holly at Pinky Pawz online pet goodies shop. Many thanks Holly!

Brave loves Tyger
Brave still loves Tyger
Brave loves Tyger the best
Baby Reckless. The best nanny ever.
Still the best place to snooze

Brave still in a half-nelson (actually fast asleep)
6 weeks, but still feeding.
We seem to prefer sleeping on our backs

TygerTyger's stripes are really coming through now
Getting bigger, but the two adults still so protective
They only really lie in this sort of heap when they are tiny
Marmite and Baby R locked in an embrace
Day 2: Stripes beginning to show through
So happy with Baby Reckless to cuddle as well
Just a few hours old
