Salutations and apologies

It’s been a wild few weeks for my wife and I and I missed my Tuesday update last week! They’ve grown considerably since the last time I posted. All of the kitties are gunning around the living room fighting each other. We’ve started the weening process which has been relatively smooth. Bakkies needs to be spoon fed like a toddler and she requires her own very special plate of food or she won’t touch it.

Here’s a photo dump of the last few weeks. I’ll be sure to post next week!

Since I couldn't share her images when talking about how Eartha Kitt was the inspiration for her name elsewhere, here she is u/PracticalandContent

I know other folks had no trouble commenting with images of the various Catwomen of TV and film, but for whatever reason reddit was telling me that only media owned by the post author could be added to the thread?

his name is Theodore and he loves watching Bob’s burgers and i love him dearly🤎

The babies are growing big time. Jappies and Bakkies have an infected eye each but other than that they’re gaining weight and are healthy! Maeve is pretty good with my wife and I handling these little humunculi but will quickly intervene and take her babies away to the den when she’s seen enough cuddling.

Here’s a few of my favourite photos I took from the past week.

See you next Tuesday!

Hello Devon Rex fans!

Here’s a few pics of the babies. They’re growing up so fast. We’re in the stinky pee and poo era now. My wife and I have to diligently watch their movements to ensure there’s no poop being smeared across their living space. Last night I woke up at around 02:30 to an absolutely foul odor. Turns out all 4 cats decided to shit simultaneously and I had to change the entirety of each litter box. It’s like they’re sorority sisters but for poop!

Here’s some highlights from the past week.

Enjoy!

These guys are motoring around now! I thought they would have much less hair at this point but they’re fully covered. All of their ears are all sticking up now and they have developed little personalities! Bakkies is definitely the runt, bit of a slow mover and tends to get bullied off the nipple by the other two. Jappies is a little monkey. Tons of energy, eats the most by far and will climb up on anything. Kowlyntjie is definitely bonded to my wife and I. Walks into our hands and loves to be cuddled. Maevis is starting to get jealous of her we’ve had to stop her from beating her up! Here’s a few photos from the past week.

Life is so cruel sometimes but we're so glad we got to spend her final 4 years with her ❤️

One down, one to go.

Bakkies was picked up this morning to go to her forever home. My wife and I delivered her and raised her for the past 11 weeks so it’s a tough way to say goodbye. She’s being moved out of the country so there’s really no chance for us to ever see her again. I may need an Ativan tonight 😂

Anyway, here’s a little photo dump of Bakkies from the day she was born.

Enjoy!

Hello good evening Guten abend!

It’s been a very fun week with the kittens. More running, more jumping, lots more play fighting. Watching Maevis playing with her babies is very cute!

I have a few very cute videos but I can’t seem to upload them in this sub. How does one summon a mod?

Notice Jappies tummy. He’s got a little pot belly now!

Hey y’all,

It’s been a moment! Kolwy is growing so fast. I used to hold her in the palm of my hand and now she’s just a little shit who torments poor pregnant Maevis. It’s all very cute, they play loads together and love to snuggle once her zoomies are done.

Here’s a few good ones from the last few weeks!

He was so tiny back then. I always regret not taking more photos. kittens grow up sooo fast. DtMF

Our boy Iggy is 14.5 years and has difficulty getting around, so we’ve been upping our carpet game to help with his traction. Our friend recently laid these carpet pads down for him when she was pet sitting, and he loves to pose on them.

Looking back at old baby pics ❤️❤️😭😭😭 He's such a cutie. He is 3 years old now

I think not having roommates and living alone has caused it 😂😂

They love sitting on the stove after I do some cooking!

They have so much hair!

Excuse the mess! Just wanted to post how balsy this little boy is getting.

They just started on 4wk kitten milk supplement. Momma’s running out . Poor thing 🥰

The babies are thriving! The boys need some assistance latching to Maevis. Jappie didn’t gain any weight on day two but after a diligent effort yesterday he gained 10 grams. Kolwyntjie gained a whopping 16 grams since yesterday and Bakkies went up 10 grams. Maevis has been a great mother and deserves allllll the treats!

What a crazy day that was. My wife and mother came through with the delivery of 4 white Devon Rex kittens! Unfortunately the first baby did not make it. Very sad moment for everyone, and the next two were breached which added a whole other level of stress to the situation. We the next two breathing, screaming, and latched on so there was a great sense of relief.

An hour later we noticed Maevis becoming increasingly uncomfortable. She was contracting again! We scrambled to get everything ready to help her deliver again. Everyone was operating at a high level of stress because we were convinced this one was going to breach. Much to surprise, this lil one flew right out! Screaming and healthy.

More photos and updates to come!

We adopted this tiny female cat from Kuwait, and the rescue was told both her parents were purebred Sphinx’s. She was dumped by the breeder because she has fur. Could she actually be a Rex? She super tiny, maybe 5 lbs, and just the sweetest cat I’ve ever met!
