Eyes open!

Kittens are born with their eyes closed, and they stay closed for a little over a week.  When they finally do open, kittens still can't see too well for several weeks.  And their eyes always start out blue, but then a few weeks later, become the color they'll have for the rest of their life.

Hazel's kids have started to open their eyes!  

First Session of 2016 Begins Today!

Some new territory for us today!  Hazel has been staying with us for a few weeks already.  This morning, she finally gave birth to seven healthy kittens!  

Warning for the squeamish:  the video below isn't too graphic, but does contain a little blood and placenta.
