DEVON REX AND SPHYNX

Leyla had 8 kittens on 8th December, two days earlier than her due date.  We knew she was carrying a few, but 8!!!  As of today they are 12 days old.  I have had a few problems as the birth weights ranged from 42 to 84gramme.  The smaller kittens have had to work hard to compete with their larger brothers, but with a little help from me by tube feeding, they are all still with us. Two of them are still needing dietary support but I am optomistic about their chances.

Rosa's girls are thriving.  They are healthy chubby little girls who at the age of 4 weeks show no sign of wanting to wean just yet.  I never force kittens to wean and allow them and their mum to set the pace.  Whilst Rosa wants to feed her babies and doesn't lose condition, then that is okay with me.
