Ohmygosh! How exciting! The babies are BEAUTIFUL!

I would SOOOO be willing to foster a pregnant kitty!

Well, I hang out on Ragdoll Central, a cat forum, and some things that the wonderful breeders over there do is really make a point to socialize the babies from about age 2 weeks on. Get them used to being loved and gently handled, and spend as much time with them as you can. It really helps make for a happy, friendly, affectionate, well-adjusted cat.

Also, they don''t let them leave their mama till at least age 12 weeks. Those 3 months with mama and littermates are invaluable and teach a cat so much. These poor kitties who get taken away from their mama at age 6 or 8 weeks just break my heart!

Please keep us posted!

(And you are WONDERFUL for taking such good care of them! Bless you!!!)

Awwwwwwwwww!! I love the cute little baby butt showing. Totally funny. How cute are they?!!!

LOL, SDL...that cracked me up too! In fact, that one reminds me of our dear kitty, "Hobbes" whom we lost 2 years ago...he was that color and had the same kind of markings.

I am a dog man who has a cat. I now love cats!!! I think you just have to own one to learn their personalities!

My father in law always hated cats (well, never WANTED to have one) and always had dogs. Until a year ago, when a lost TINY kitten happened upon my in-laws'' front porch in a rain storm...''Lulu'' was sick, cold and weak and they took her in for the night, took her to the vet the next day and have had her for a year now...and guess what? My father in law is CRAZY about her, LOL! Cats sure have a way with non-cat lovers!

Doesn''t take long to convert them!

OMG SO CUTE - bless you for fostering her. Here''s hoping mom and babies continue to do well, and definitely second Lynn on the importance of socialization and handling - you can probably even find exercises to do online (I know they exist for puppies - things like gently rocking them on their backs, touching their paws, etc...).
