- three of the bucks I was unsure about whether they are rex or double rex now feel like brillo pads for their coat, so I suspect it will fall out very shortly. All kittens are now reserved and will be off to their new homes soon. Double rexes from this line tend to be hairless as adults.

- the kittens are getting quite big now and the bucks have been separated from does and mums now. I still have 3 bucks I cannot be sure whether they are double rexes or rexes yet - hopefully they will identify themselves very soon!

- kittens are all growing well and looking better on the ears this week as they seem to look less furled over than they were looking last week. The rexes and double rexes are going bald at the moment as they moult out their baby coat and this time I'm having really hard problems confirming which are the double rexes - only 1 has the usual whiskers of a double rex of being extremely tightly curled to an effect of breaking off, while 3 others are currently bald, but their whiskers are normal for rex! Both mums seem to really be enjoying sharing their kittens.

- I have merged Fauna and Flora's litters together and both sisters are looking after them together now and seem happy enough sharing the 19 babies! The babies are all growing well, although the type on some could be better and some of the dumbo ears are not going to be very close to standard!

- Fauna is being a very relaxed and happy mum. Her kittens are all growing well and even the little runt is looking like she is catching up well now. You can see from the mixed pictures just how much lighter the non golden babies from Flora's litter are.

- spot the roans! Yet again I seem to have managed to keep back roan carriers as there are 4 roan kittens in the litter. All are black eyed though so chances are one of the parents is a double black eye. As it's not possible to mix up the roans with the other litter, I've now given over 3 of these kittens to Flora to bring up making Fauna's life a bit easier with only 12 to raise. I may give Flora a few more yet to even the litters out completely, but want to give her a chance to build her milk up a bit first.

3 days old
- all the kittens appear to be dark eyed and Fauna is being a lovely devoted mother to them. I may decide in a few days to share some of hers over to her sister, but will see how things go.
