Kittens are born with their eyes closed, and they stay closed for a little over a week. When they finally do open, kittens still can't see too well for several weeks. And their eyes always start out blue, but then a few weeks later, become the color they'll have for the rest of their life.
Hazel's kids have started to open their eyes!
We had a little photoshoot today. Here's some of our favorites!
Some new territory for us today! Hazel has been staying with us for a few weeks already. This morning, she finally gave birth to seven healthy kittens!
Warning for the squeamish: the video below isn't too graphic, but does contain a little blood and placenta.
2015 was a banner year for Kitten Academy. We had 11 students graduate successfully. And two of those -- Loganberry and Ari -- have stayed on to become faculty for the 2016 season! Farewell to our students from 2015, and welcome to our two new professors!
Meet Mochi! Possibly the cutest student yet!
We're starting to see students trickle in for the third session of 2015. Today, meet Coconut!
Max has graduated from Kitten Academy, and tomorrow he goes out into the world! We'll miss you, Max!
Although Max, Maisy, and Ruby are still performing their final exams and waiting anxiously for graduation day, our second class was ushered in today. Meet Loganberry, Mango, and Pickles! We expect great things from tiny Loganberry and his sisters.
Today is the official Grand Opening of Kitten Academy, and we welcome Max, Maisy, and Ruby. They are all eager to learn the art of kittening from the very best.
