7th June 2007 Izzy gave birth to four wonderful kittens. She had a very tough time of it and ended up in the vets for 4 hours having to have help to pass a still born baby.
All the remaining kittens are small but seem strong and healthy and have put on weight from their birth weights.
It looks like we have three girls and a boy. We have a cream self boy and two blues and a lilac tortie.
08/06/07 Izzy and her babies are doing really well. The babies have gained a lot of weight and seem to be getting stronger every day. Izzy is a wonderful mum and spends all her time with them snuggled up. Here are a couple of pictures of her in the kittening pen with her babies

14/06/2007 Izzy's babies are now 1 week old and growing stronger each day. Despite their uncertain start being small they have continued to go from strength to strength. Here are some new pictures of the babies.

20/06/2007 Izzy's babies are almost 2 weeks old now and their eyes are open. They are gaining weight brilliantly and have all doubled their birth weights now. Here are some new pictures which we took today of the babies. It is looking like all Izzy's babies are selfs as there is still no evidence of cream on their fur.

28/06/07 Izzy's kittens are 3 weeks old today. They have started trying to walk about and are getting much more alert. Izzy has decided its not fair that Mally's babies come out of the kittening pen and hers don't so she has started to sneak them out and hide them behind the settee when we aren't looking. Izzy is very vocal with her babies and talks to them all the time. She has been an excellent mother and still spends the majority of her time laid feeding them even when she has the option to be out of the pen.
13/07/07 Izzy's kittens are now 5 weeks old. They have started going in the litter tray and are trying to eat little bits of food. They come out of the kittening pen a lot more now and play with Mally's babies quite a lot. Izzy is still very posessive with her babies and is always checking up on them to see where they are. She gets very frustrated if they won't do as she wants them to and can very often be seen carrying them around in her mouth to get them where she wants them.
Here are some updated pictures of Donald. At the moment he is the most stunning kitten out of the whole litter and I am hoping to speak to Chantell his new owner about the possibility of him being shown if he continues the way he is.
Here's Blossom. Today Blossom met her new mum Theresa for the first time. Theresa was really pleased with the way Blossom is growing and loves her to bits.
Next we have Ragapost Diamond Belle. She is continuing to get more patches of cream colouring throughout her coat. She is a cute little thing and loves to be cuddled. Diamond Belle and her sister Crystal Moonlight (pet names to be decided) are going to their new home together. They met their new mum and dad Gill and Wall today and were spoilt with lots of cuddles and kisses.
Finally we have Ragapost Crystal Moonlight (pet name to be decided). She is being rehomed with her sister Diamond Belle and they met their new mum and dad today.
22/08/07 Izzy's babies are now 10 weeks old and had their first vaccinations last week. They have now been seperated from their mum and are together with Mally's kittens in the house. They will go for their second vaccination on 4th September and then will leave for their new homes the following weekend if all is well.
