Briar & her kittens were moved yesterday to Kitten pen. Often the mother cat has other ideas of where her kittens are going to be raised & she moves them!

Last night kittens were behind book case, behind TV & under our bed!

This starts as kittens start to leave the nest (basket) here is a picture of the first girl kitten to venture away from litter mates-

Close up of other six kittens trying to work out if they are brave enough to jump so high out of the basket.

Kittens are 3 weeks 2 days old. All seal burmese.

Our queens are allowed outside in the mornings if not on call.

All are super hunters. Here is Briar watching her prey and keeping the mouse population under control.

This morning I found Briar eating a bird! – Thankfully it was not one of James’ baby chickens!!!
