When emotions after the birth of
the babies have decreased, we silently watched Tsukiko and her babies in
amazement. In total admiration, we experienced Tsukiko changing in a perfect
mother taking care of her babies.
After she has bit the umbilical cord
of each of her babies, she started to wash them thoroughly. Her babies immediately started to look for her
teats although they do not always took the shorter route. Fortunately, each kitten
found one and immediately started to drink. When all her babies were born
and her family is cared for, Tsukiko lied sleepy in her den.
The first three weeks Tsukiko focusses
on her six babies. Tsukiko only leaves
her babies to eat or to visit the litter box. Her babies are sleeping, drinking
or pushing each other, to get to the best teat.
When they are three weeks old they
are getting more and more interested in the “great outdoors “ and they start to toddle.
Their first attempts to walk are very comical,because their movements are not very coordinated yet
and they often fall over.
It is amazing to experience their
development when they are starting to get interested in their surroundings. They are recognizing
people and their voices and they are getting interested in toys.
When they are five weeks old, they
are confident and ready to explore their playground. They need a challenging
playground, to ensure an optimal physical and mental development. In short,
they need enough room and many toys.
See the world trough “kitten’s eyes” today, be adventurous…..
Love Conny
