Last evening at 5:30, I posted this picture on Facebook with the caption “Here we go!”
At 7:30ish, I posted this one:
And at 10:45ish, this one:
At this moment (I’m writing this at 11:30 Wednesday night, for the record), Khaleesi is the proud mama of five kittens – a brown tabby, a white with orange, a gray tuxie, a black tuxie, and what appears to be a mostly orange with some white. If I wake in the morning to find that she decided to have more while I was sleeping, I’ll come back and edit this post to reflect that.
I have some errands to run in the morning and a busy day ahead of me, so at this point I don’t expect the full entry about the experience to be up ’til tomorrow morning.
I had already mostly written a post for today, so that’s below.
Also – I had thought that I would stick to dragon names from Game of Thrones. I’m undecided about that and may still go with that, but just in case I opt to go with dragon names in general, but if you have a good one, feel free to leave it in the comments! Edited to add, 7:04 am: There are still a total of 5 kittens (and this does include the little orphan.) Khaleesi and the babies are doing great and I look forward to giving y’all the details in tomorrow’s post. 🙂

Would you care for a cuppa kitteh to start your day?
Or perhaps you’d prefer a floofier, more robust flavor?
This flavor is also pretty robust and a little bit naughty.
So strong it can stand up and plug itself in!
Didn’t I predict this?
All five in one bed!
I love how COMFY Aslan is. “A bed made of kittens is the best idea EVER!”
It only took about 300 tries to get them to all look in my general direction. That’s Leia in the back, Buttercup right in front of her, Aslan in the middle, Jareth over there on the right, and Charming in the front.
Someone’s always gotta be the funny guy.
Grumpy faces.
Leia, chortling.
And Aslan stretching, while Leia grumps.
Yesterday, when I took Kate her mid-day snack, Charming and Leia pretty much elbowed her out of the way and ate off her plate. Kate is just skin and bones -I’m thinking that it’s time she start getting short breaks from the kittens. This weekend I’m going to try letting her out into the house and see how that goes. I can put her in the bathroom and let her eat to her heart’s content, and then she can check out the house and meet the permanent residents.

“Hallo.”
“What babies?”
She’s such a pretty girl.
Oh good lord, the BELLEH.
