Exciting news! Nerantzi has had her kittens!! Things don’t get much more exciting than this in the hard hitting world of cat blogs!

After yesterday’s pictures where she looked ready to burst, Nerantzi has had 6 little Nerantzakis!! They are now called the Nooninies. (I don’t know that any more variations on that theme will be possible!)

After being very clingy this morning, she went up to the little mezzanine storage area at her home and very conveniently gave birth on some plastic! There is a bed waiting for them all downstairs, but maybe she preferred to keep them away from her own Mum and siblings, especially her brother. She was only born this time last year herself.

Here they are as very new kittens, only a couple of hours old.

There are two that are a very light beige colour, two reds, one red and white and one tri-colour. Too early to tell the genders yet. Number 6 is very small, but also very spirited apparently and an extra watchful eye is being kept on that little fella.

Looking forward to seeing them tomorrow for the first time – you can be assured of more photos!

(Many thanks to Sarah for sending and letting us use these photos.)

Now all cleaned up by Mum and having a drink. (When they do this they all purr, which is an amazing sound. Not sure if these guys would purr yet?)
