Cinco's Cinco

This page follows the family's growth. For individual photos, see Blackie, Curly, Polly, Smokey, and Tux/Loudmouth. None of these portraits are good, and aren't worth trying to download if you have a slow-speed connection. But at least they show the size of the kittens at age 1 week. I have rather large hands, a 9" span from thumb to tip of little finger and over 7 1/2" from wrist to tip of middle finger.

Age, 1 week. The kittens are becoming accustomed to the carrier and their trips into the house. Cinco is even taking the ritual in stride.

Cinco can't quite bring herself to climb all the way into the carrier just yet, but has come to accept the kittens' disappearance into the house for a while each day. As fast as they are growing, we're going to have to step up to a larger carrier soon.

Ten days old, eyes opening and starting to explore. Left to right: Tux/Loudmouth, Polly, Curly, Blackie, and Smokey.
