Kitten update

I'm sure you've all been wondering how Rainbow and her babies are doing. Or maybe you haven't, but you're about to find out anyway. ;)

Here are Rainbow and her 1-week+1-day-old babies:

The babies are all growing nicely. It's still a bit hard to distinguish them in the photo above, so I recruited the help of my ever-eager-and-ready-if-it-has-to-do-with-kittens assistant for some individual pics! (We tried this last week, but it was a rainy day and so dark that the pics didn't turn out to be blogworthy.)

Here they are! Aren't they beautiful? (Click on the collage to enlarge it.)

As you may have noticed, they're just beginning to get their eyes open. The two orange ones have names - Bert and Betty - so named by "Agent Orange" herself, Jess. She was hoping Rainbow would have some orange babies, so I told her these are both hers. Unfortunately, since Alex is allergic to cats, "Jess's" kittens will have to remain here.

The black-and-white ones are both males, as is one of the oranges, and the rest are females. The white one has the potential of ending up with Annabelle's coloring (which I should get more recent photos of to show you... she's really gotten quite beautiful). We're open to suggestions for names! Anybody have any good ideas?

Here are a couple more shots of the adorableness:

Calico is always my favorite:

Anybody want a kitten in about 6 or 7 weeks?????  :)
