Minnie

Our smalles Muffin Minnie has started on wet food. This is a moment to celebrate since we've been fighting to get weight on her since her birth.  Now she can eat all she wants and not have to wait for Momma or us to feed her.  Though, she has decided we put down wet food faster if she howls for it at our feet.

Big momma

This is our girl Fiona, ealier this week

And this is her now, after giving us another lovely litter of kittens. 

That's the first little guy to be born there nursing. 

More baby pictures to come.

New, soft, kitties!

Meant to have these up days ago, but time flys when your crazy mama kitty decides to take a 20 odd hour break, then have one more kitten at 4:00 am, just to make sure your paying attention.   Skye's such a joker. 

So Slow!

Everything seems slow this year, winter is slow to leave, moving has been slow to unpack after, and I've been  slow to post.  Sorry for that. I owe everyone more muffin pictures.

First is Aramis, a gorgeous natural mink mctabby boy, the last of our Musketeers. 

Then there's Sprout. He and his sisters Violet and Rose were named in hopes of spring. Very faint hope this year! We still have snow on the ground. But it's fun to stay in and snuggle the kittens anyway. 

First glimpse of our Trio

Glory's threesome are doing well.  Maybe it's not very original, but they've been dubbed Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. 

Their little eyes aren't open yet, but should start this week.

Early presents

  Glory got in the holiday spirit and decided to give us three early gifts. There are now two red and white fellows and one that may or may not be a boy and/or mink and white. We'll be keeping a close eye on these tiny guys over the next few weeks and post more updates and pictures as they grow.

Autumn Activities

Things have started to slow down a little here, so I'm hoping to get enough time this week to tinker with the website.  If you visit and http://softkitty.ca is acting/looking odd, have faith I'll get it back up and running soon. Of course I came up with this plan yesterday, when it was gray out with icy drizzle. Today we have sunshine and mild breezes, so I might get some pre-snow yard cleaning time in instead.  Okay, looking at all I have or want to do, things haven't slowed down.. website, yardwork, quilting, knitting, cat baths, dog walks, nail trims.   No more time to blog, must get started! Lol!
