Updated 7:30 am: I slept through it all, and woke to find that Isabella gave birth to 5 kittens in the early hours of the morning. I’m leaving the little family alone… for NOW.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: at the time that I’m prepping this post (6 pm last night), Isabella is going in and out of her crate. This is generally behavior we see before they go into labor (though not always), and so we’re on high alert. If kittens are born tonight or early in the morning, I’ll edit this post to reflect that. If they’re born first thing in the morning, same. If you see no edits, then you can assume that that brat was just messing with me.
“Made you look!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snuggly girl.
Such a snuggler.
Fred coughed, and she had to sit up and check it out. I love her sweet profile.
“He’s coughing up a lung out there, lady!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isabella and Khal look so much alike that sometimes when I catch a glimpse of him (here he is, in the kitchen with his favorite catnip toy, and Jake coming over to see what I’m doing) for a moment I think “How did she get down here?!” before I realize.

BABIES!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Looks like one grey, the others all black? So happy for her, looking forward to more pictures…
2 gray, 3 black. One of the gray ones has white at the tip of his/her tail!
Awwww! The eye she is giving you in that shot is hilarious. It’s all “look what I did when you weren’t looking, lady!”
Babies!!!
How’s mama doing?
She’s doing great! Resting and snuggling with the babies.
Lil soot sprites!!
I wish we had a “like” button!
Aw, squee! <3 <3 <3 Such cutiepies! Glad to hear Mamakitty's doing well!
That babies!! How is Fred? All this coughing isn’t good.
Yay!!!!
Oh Boy, Oh Boy……. KITTENS!!!!
Can’t wait to see them.
Good Lord she’s hugging one of the little grey babies. I can’t deal. How long is “for NOW” in your world? Pretty sure that’s about done.
Oh, good job Isabella! I’m glad to read that Mama and her little dumplings are doing well!!!!!
Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!! I missed the announcement! And I was checking every so often today!
Can’t wait to see those gorgeous babies! Anticipation!
I’m so happy all went well. Now the fun begins, I cannot wait to watch them grow.
Yay! A big welcome to Isabella’s babies!!!
Babies!!!!!! I must have read today’s entry this morning 5 minutes before you updated it with the news…and went all day without knowing until catching your Facebook entry on my newsfeed, 11 hours later! Happy birthday, babies! Congratulations, Mama Isabella! Wishing love, laughter and some sleep to Robyn and Fred!
YAY BABIES!! And on my husband’s birthday too. Happy Birthday Los Mewchachos!!!
Eeeee kittoons! Yay! Somebody’s black and grey dream was pretty well accurate. No wings, though? Ah well, can’t have everything. 🙂 I was going to suggest one be Ángela if wings materialized. XD Maybe they sprout feathers later.
Hmm. Black and grey, could you have a stealth tortie…? I wonder if there’s a stealth dilute in there, if not a traditional tortie (you’d probably have noticed orange). Time will tell. Super cuteness, whoever they are! And I still want to snuggle the snuggly Isabella. <3
YAY! Welcome to the world, lil ones!
