1. omigosh! They are so cute. How old? Thank you for taking care of them!

[niyad]

2. they are just over a day old--and it is not me -- our own du'er ralps sent this link,

has been following the pregnancy for some time.

[CurtEastPoint]

3. Kudos to ralps and all who care for the kitties.

[niyad]

4. indeed.

[niyad]

5. awww. nursing them now...

[IcyPeas]

10. meant to thank you last night for felicity. more time in front of screen, watching kittehs!!

[sakabatou]

8. They're all sleeping now.

[Paula Sims]

9. I want them all NOW. . .

especially the black kitten. I love black kittens. . .

[niyad]

11. . . . .

12. Momma cat getting a much needed rest. All the kits lined up in a row.

Kittens growing quick, seem even bigger than yesterday. Mom's breathing seems to also be less rapid. Looking good.

[niyad]

13. awwww, she is washing the babies now!!

[yellowdogintexas]

14. Kittens and momcat are beautiful!! However, is that a flea collar on that ginger kitty?

Flea products are toxic for these little guys. Even mom should not have a flea collar with tiny nursing babies

[niyad]

16. possibly an id band of some kind????

[Fla Dem]

17. Yes, it was so they could tell which was which. nt

[Fla Dem]

18. 6th or 7th day. Kits getting bigger. Looks like they still haven't opened their eyes.

[niyad]

19. here:

Kittens open their eyes about seven to ten days after birth. At first, the retina is poorly developed and vision is poor. Kittens are not able to see as well as adult cats until about ten weeks after birth. Kittens develop very quickly from about two weeks of age until their seventh week.

[Fla Dem]

20. Thanks, I thought I had read 4-7 days somewhere. So still a couple of days to go.

10 weeks until they can see clearly.

21. you just couldn't resist, eh????

they are growing sooooo quickly!!

[IcyPeas]

22. Starling et al. will be on the Weather Channel tomorrow.....

I watched Shelly's visit tonight and she mentioned the Weather Channel would be livestreaming the kittens 5:00-6:00 eastern time. At the time she wasn't sure if it would be on the Weather Channel online or on the tv.

I've never watched the Weather Channel before because..... weather. but hey, if they are going to start livestreaming kittens.... well.......................

[niyad]

23. now that is cooooool. thanks!!! but, even for kittehs, not getting up that early.

[IcyPeas]

29. weather channel 5:00 p.m. this afternoon (not a.m.) sorry

so sorry, it today at 5:00 pm not a.m. you can still catch it if you see this post in time. (I wouldn't get up at 5 a.m. either LOL).

[irisblue]

24. Starling is washing one of the gingers now...♥

[niyad]

25. siggghhh. so cute.

[jonno99]

26. I'm glad this post keeps perculating up on the list! I've really enjoyed seeing them grow -

they're looking healthy & plump!

Thanks for the post.

[niyad]

27. you are most welcome. watching star and her babies is a great stress reducer.

just think, each of those teeny babies is already smarter than drumpfy.

[jonno99]

28. Ha - maybe the best post of the day!

[tblue37]

37. I spend some time watching every day. I think Star is beautiful and adorable.

I have a longhaired dilute calico with markings very similar to hers.

Starling has become so socialized that she won't be going back to the forest at all. Shelley has said so in a FB post about the death of Reese, who was hit by a car.

[anneboleyn]

30. Ah, they were all sleeping and twitching -- one little kitteh kept kicking his legs, dreaming

[niyad]

31. one of the babies parked on mama's tail right now.

[Fla Dem]

32. At about 11:39 today Shelly (fosterMom) tries cleaning their home.

Starling watches intently. but is basically unfazed. She has a wonderfully expressive face and her eyes are beautiful. She seems so comfortable with Shelly, you'd never know she is a feral. Looks like a couple of the kits' eyes have opened. Real obvious in one of the gingers.

[niyad]

33. everyone sound asleep right now.

[tblue37]

38. Wren (#4--the one who almost didn't make it) was the first to open her eyes. nt

[niyad]

34. dinner time!!!!

[niyad]

36. mama has arrived

[Fla Dem]

39. Every time I check in on them they seem to be bigger.

The 2 gingers really stick close together. I wonder if they know they're twins. Yes I know they all are "twins" but I mean the same.

[niyad]

41. they are just adorable.

[niyad]

40. eyes are starting to open!!

[irisblue]

42. bump..everyone is sleeping now

[niyad]

43. they are soooo cute, and getting bigger by the day.

[Fla Dem]

44. Mama Cat not spending as much time with her kits. They were very playful yesterday.

[shenmue]

45. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[niyad]

46. it is so soothing just watching them. two and a half weeks old!!

[niyad]

47. . . .

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

48. I am hooked on watching these kittens.

So much squee... and it's amazing how quickly they grow. Starling must be producing heavy cream.

[niyad]

49. you and me both. little eyes open now, getting more energetic each day. . . .

and a welcome antidote to so much of of the stuff we see and hear every day.

[shenmue]

50. Everyone sleeping, at 3:42 EST

Lethal levels of skwee here.

[niyad]

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

64. I love watching these kittens.

They are rapidly becoming catlike.

[niyad]

65. had not been able to watch for several days--and now they are playing, romping--growiing

up sooooo fast!!

[niyad]

66. the kittens are up and playing!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

67. They're eating solid-ish food! And they have teeth!

[niyad]

68. and they have been playing!!! they are growing up so quickly--next thing you know, they

will be borrowing the car, and wanting money!!

earlier today, it was clear that a bowl of dry food had been scattered everywhere.

[niyad]

69. awww, two of the babies are eating from a bowl now!!

[irisblue]

70. play time for kittens. Where is Starling tho? nt

[niyad]

71. probably running around in the outer room. one camera angle yesterday showed it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

[niyad]

80. mama is with the babies now!!

[trueblue2007]

81. darling kittens

[Fla Dem]

82. How are they ever going to separate these kittens?

They have been together every single second of their lives. They''ll be so lonely when they don't have a pal to snuggle up with.

[Fla Dem]

83. Just over 6 weeks old, these babies have grown so much!

If you catch them during their play time they are just so adorable to watch. Mama Starling sometimes just sits there with a look on her face that seems to say, "What HAVE I done".

[niyad]

84. good morning--yes, watching mama with the kits is adorable--and watching them

play!!!! such joy and delight and abandon!!

LOVE your HRC kitteh logo--stealing it!!

[anneboleyn]

85. I can't believe how big they are! They are playing w/human momma right now! So adorable.

[Fla Dem]

86. Anybody know what happened to Starling and her kits? They aren't broadcasting anymore. nt

[niyad]

87. the last notes I saw indicated that they were at another house, and that there was

some sort of problem with the camera (which seemed to happen at almost the same time as our hack. . . .hmmmmm)

[Fla Dem]

88. Well I hope we get them back before they're adopted out.

They were my calm during the campaigning and needed them after the election. I'm not on FB so don't get the updates.

[niyad]

89. I agree with you. I am not on facebook either. the information was on another of

their kitten feeds--amelia and company.

if you google "tiny kittens' you can find their homepage.
