Buried the three dead kittens this morning, turned out they all had the severe unoperable cleft palate problem, and the runty one who died very quickly also had a hare lip :( So, very sad, but at least we know it wasn't an infection which could passed to the remaining kittens. And Ghost!cat will be getting neutered as soon as the vet says it's okay after babies weaned, and the babies will be getting done as soon as they're of age/large enough, so no more risk of it happening again. Reading around, it looks like it's commoner amongst persian types than other breeds, so :((

===========================

Anyway.. onto the good stuff. Ghost!cat is proving to be a fabulous mum, protective and nudging the remaining two kittens into place, letting us take photos and check on them properly, whilst still very much on her terms. I've taken to calling the little ones 'the Bumbles', in leiu of names. Well until we all feel a little more settled/confident, and I settle on names that suit that is!

Annd piccytures! I have pics of all of them, but I can't bring myself to put up the ones from their birth day yet as they have the ones that died on them, and just.. I can't face that. So these are from today, it's amazing how much they've advanced already!

Oh they're adorable. Such pretty markings.

They're very much good for the soul :)

Oh they're gorgeous!

Ghost was naughty with a pretty grey tabby by the looks of things!

I know :) And here's us thinking it was a black and white tom that'd gotten to her.

Oh my days.HOW Gorgeous???? I squeed when I saw them

They make me have warm and fuzzies every time i see them :D

I am dying of over-cute! Go GhostMummy! :o)

She's sooo good with them :) It really does the heart good.

Awwwwww! Awwwwww! Awwwww! *teh cute*

They are adorable, so very, very cute! Awwwwwwwwwww

*melts*

*scoops you up* They are so very adorable.

So cute! And Ghost is gorgeous!

*nods* She's very pretty, and such a lovely temprament with the kittens. I still am at a loss to even get close to comprehending how someone could discard her skinny and in a mess in a bin bag (how she was found when she was rescued :( )

Aww. *snuggles her. and you*

It never fails to amaze me just how gorgeous ghost is.I wonder if the bumbles will get fluffier like their mommy when they get older?
It's unfortunstely commonplace for some of the litter to die for kitties, i believe, so don't worry, its natures 'way' & perfectly (if upsettingly) natural.
The remaining bumbles are so cute! this post did NOT help with my 'I WANT A KITTEN NOW, PLEASE!!!!' rampage against paul at though!!
Thanks for posting - keep up the picture posts!

She *is* pretty, and very much the princess-type (In how she can look *so* disdainful sometimes, and how fussy she can be!).

Heheh. We did have homes lined up for the guys when we were expecting more.. but currently I'm getting very attached, and loathe to split them up. We'll see how I feel in 8-10 weeks or so :)
