At last on the 3rd of may 2005 our A-Litter was born. In the morning our little Cat-Lady Cleopatra went into labour. The first who was given birth was Asterix and after him his three brothers and sisters. All happened very quickly: Within less than an hour all babies were born. At first the young mother retired frightened and left the washing of her babies to Ginny.

Of course the babies were very hungry immediately. Fortunately the mother’s milk started to flow when they started sucking at Ginny’s teats. So the exhausted Cleopatra could have a rest after the hard birth and her babies were satisfied.

The babies weight in birth was between 72 g (Amaryllis) and 103 g (Asterix). Within five days doubled her weight in birth and Asterix’ weight even is 156 g.
