Xiuxiu gave birth to a litter of kittens on April 15th, 2018. Fortunately, both she and her kittens were safe. Different from her mother, she gave birth to three female kittens and one male kitten.
The one below is the eldest. It has the highest appearance level among all the kittens and resembles its mother the most. Its good looks have remained consistent from its early days to now.
This is the second kitten. Its nose tip is a bit black, so it was quite noticeable at first. As it turned out, the blackness on its nose tip disappeared as it grew up!
Since it was my first time assisting in the birth of kittens and Xiuxiu’s first time being a mother, unfortunately, the kittens got infected with ringworm not long after they were born (such sorrow). So I treated them bit by bit.
The next one to talk about is the third kitten, the only male kitten among the four. It looks… incredibly ugly emmmmmmm. At that time, I even suspected that it wasn’t Xiuxiu’s biological kitten. Given that both its parents are so good-looking, I was really confused about how such an ugly kitten could be born. It’s also extremely gluttonous, troublesome, and naughty, seemingly gathering all kinds of flaws. Strangely, Xiuxiu dotes on it the most. Perhaps it’s because it’s her only son (shrugging).
To show you just how ugly and dismal it is, here’s a look for you.
To be honest, I often suspected that there was something wrong with its genetic inheritance. Otherwise, with such good-looking parents, how could it be so ugly and lackluster? But fortunately, later a young lady who didn’t mind its appearance took it away to keep the little tabby cat in her home company.
Finally, the one I want to mention is the youngest kitten. When it was born, there was a bit of an accident. For some unknown reason, Xiuxiu seemed to have a strong dislike for the fourth kitten. However, it is a kitten whose appearance level is comparable to that of the eldest among all the kittens. But because it was born last, its body is weaker. It could never manage to get enough milk, and Xiuxiu didn’t care much about it either.
So on a rainy night, when I found it at the edge of the nest, its face was bluish, its head was drooping, and it seemed to have caught a chill and was on the verge of death. I quickly consulted the doctor of the pet hospital I usually go to, who told me that there was no way to save such a tiny kitten.
