Cute as can be awake or finding a quiet moment for napping.
While still one can see their patterns are developing very nicely. |

Mia's first litter was sired by JayAr, a highly regarded stud who lives in western Massachusetts. He is from Askari Bengals, owned and operated by Karen Shaw.
JayAr, a Brown Spotted, is a sweet and gentle boy. His owner was curious to know if JayAr had the recessive marble gene and hoped to see a marble kitten from Mia's litter. Unfortunately, the gene did not express itself in this litter. But this makes the kittens no less beautiful... |

Two months later Mia gave birth to 4 Brown Spotted kittens born at 2:00 AM. Cats and kittens have no sense of time! Mia announced the impending delivery and wanted help and comfort from my daughter and me. The kittens were cute even that night.
Mia proved to be a devoted and patient mom and hardly left their side. I fed her meals in bed for the first day or two. She was exhausted but unlike her kids she could not master eating and sleeping at the same time!
Mia enjoyed all the attention she and her kittens received. She allowed us to handle the kittens from the first day. It seemed she understood the importance of socialization. The kittens grew quickly...... |

Some days it seemed they were growing by the hour! And they kept getting more adventurous all the time. When they started scaling the enclosure keeping them safe, I knew we were on the brink of a new era; kittens everywhere. They soon grew big enough to be safely and fully integrated into our household. |
