Cinder_and_kittens
Judging from the number of emails and blog comments I’ve been getting, it seems I’m overdue with news about blind Cinder and her babies.  We had an update in our September email newsletter we sent out last week, but I forgot I hadn’t posted anything on the blog.

It’s official:  only two kittens!  We did an ultrasound on Cinder last Tuesday, which showed no more kittens inside.  Whew.  As worried as we were over the one-kitten-every-24-hours delivery pace, we are relieved we didn’t have a litter of eight kittens.  (As is Cinder, needless to say!)

In keeping with our ‘fire’ theme, we named the tortoiseshell kitten Spark and the gray kitten Ash.

We’re happy to report that Cinder, Spark and Ash are all doing fine!

    Just awesome! How amazingly cute. It’s the first real close-up I’ve seen of Cinder too. What a beautiful face! Thanks for the update.

    I was trying to exhibit patience as I eagerly waited to hear more of Cinder’s kittens; otherwise, I would have been emailing you too!
    The kittens are adorable and Mom looks quite pleased.
    Spark and Ash are purrfect names.
    Good luck to the new family!
    I hope they can remain residents of the ranch.

    Is Dr. Dave going to take one in Spark or Ash? Then will you keep the other kitten? Glad to see Cinder adjusting to motherhood.
