Are you prepared for cuteness overkill?
Then follow me on a yourney, we made about 2 years ago. Our two cats were 2 and 3 years old, when we decided to let them have babies together. Our tomcat is a black ragdoll and our cat is a grey tabby house cat.
It was not the first time, we had kittens, and the last time went pretty well. We had found a loving home for all 7 (!!!) kittens our MaineCoon was able to raise. This was a long time ago and our own children had reached an age where they understood a lot more, were able to be careful and also were so interested in the world. This turned out to be a great experience for them.
Let me introduce the parents:
| Mummy (Lilly) | Daddy (Rasputin) |
|---|---|
 |  |
Then the magic happened (well not really magic, but loud, wild animal sex) and about 60 days later we prepared for a feline delivery. We offered Lilly numerous spots to choose from for her forthcoming birth and she chose a children´s toy carton.
As we knew what do do we had everything perpared to help, if needed. But Lilly is a perfect mom and she delivered 3 healthy kitten in less than an hour. We were allowed watching... (I guess our cat really likes us)
The Birth

We were now proud uncles and ounts of three cute, nice kitten. One kitten was completely black, called "Raven", the next kitten was light grey called "Chaya" and the last kitten was black with a little white, starshaped spot on the chest, called "Starlet".
As our cat really trusts us, she let us help, clean up the birthing box and weigh her kitten...
| Starlet | Chaya | Raven |

Hard work done... now its time for sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating and sleeping again.
In the next chapters I will share with you the first steps outside the birthing box and the development of the kitten during the fist three months. So follow me for updates and the next chapter of "Cats in the Cradle"!
This is a 100% power-up post!
