Our RESEARCH Group

What a group they are....With six boys and two girls, all brown classic tabbies,
Although Sophie has her paws full, she always finds the time to show them how much she loves them.
Our home feels quite empty without eight kittens running wild.

How do you tell 8 brown classic tabbies apart?? Luckily, that's been the only tough part of having this litter.

It's times like this that my friends provided much needed advice.....shave them! Since they're growing so fast, I've been assured their fur will have grown back around the same time we can tell them apart, visually. Each baby was trimmed in a different area.

As you can see here, "racing stripes" (now Newton) shows his stripes on his lower back making it quite obvious who he is!

Now I have Velcro collars (Beastie Bands) on the four kittens I have the most trouble telling apart.
