Four of them (so far) born within the last hour. They are wet and ugly but should grow out of that. Both parents are that old Standard Breed: Heinz 57. Mother is a calico and father is white w/black spots. I can’t really tell the babies’ colors yet. I’ll dig out the camera and post pix when they are more presentable. If I’m allowed near them. I’m a grandma! 😃 Davmi ---

Looks like the total is four. Three are orange and white and one is a grey tabby. Mother is resting comfortably and father keeps trying to climb in the box with her. I turned the door of the kitten box to the wall so he can’t get in. I don’t trust him. ---

Let’s hear it for baby cats! My favorite thing about kittens are those ridiculous tiny tails pointing straight up like little pieces of string. ---

Want kittypix NOW! I love newborn kittens, even though they don’t look anything like cats yet. Some toms, by the way, are very good parents. ---

Hooray for Kittens! please post pix soon. I agree that its a good idea to keep the dad segregated for the time being. Although **Lynn** is right that some toms make good parents, some don’t, and there’s a chance that the Tom could sit on one of the little guys, which aren’s strong enough to squirm out from under. In two or three weeks he can get supervised visitation. [sub] also, no offence, but please consider spaying/neutering the cats once the kittens are weaned 🙂 [/sub] ---

Oh my yes, little kitty cats. Most excellent. Just think how cute they’d look in little pink tutus! (That’s a long-time thing with me: little pink tutus on cats…) MEOW!! ---

I like them better when they’re wearing viking costumes and singing Led Zeppelin songs. (Kudos to anyone who knows what the heck I’m talking about 🙂 ) ---

Still looking for the camera batteries. Damn things went flat on me. :mad: Kittens in viking costumes singing Zep? Sacrilege! I’m a Queen fan! Imagine the little fuzzies in leather singing “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” Now you’ve got me doing it… Davmi ---

We’ll fight the hoard, singing and crying, Valhalla I am coming!”_ The scary part is, I could do that from memory, I love the Viking Kittens. ---

[Viking kittens.](http://users.wolfcrews.com/toys/vikings/) I even have a t-shirt when they were available. Joel Veitch, the gentleman that made the video got in a bit of hot water because of it. He also did the Subway commercial with the sponge monkeys. More of his work can be found [on his site.](http://www.rathergood.com) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kittens-we-have-brand-new-kittens/296965.md?page=2)
