fenlandsnapper says: The Three Musketeers were astonishing kittens. They were born at the home of my friend Elkhead, who is a registered breeder of Burmese kittens in Cambridge, England. You've already met two of Elkhead's previous litters, the Pride and Prejudice litter and the Shakespeare litter. These three beauties had a rough start to life as the only survivors of a difficult pregnancy. They were born prematurely and were very small. Tragically, their mother, Silvie, passed away a few days after they were born due to complications from the birth. I know Elkhead and his wife still miss her enormously. Fortunately the kittens were raised beautifully by their grandmother Bronwen, their great-grandmother, and the lady of the house. After such a poor start, they turned into stunning kittens.

Porthos has a slightly crossed eye. Elkhead says he's the most laid back and affectionate of the three, and has become a charismatic and intelligent cat who charms everyone he meets. Aramisa (or Misa) is less outgoing apparently, but according to Elkhead she's the most mischievous of them all. Porthos and Misa went to the same owners who seem to be besotted by them. Athos is the most lively and assertive of the three. He went to a home full of pets including a Siamese cat.

I saved this photo for six years and ongoing, not knowing its origin! The cat's trust is what we all hope to gain with our loved ones. The story of Silvie is deeply unfortunate since she was the breeder's prize cat, and another reason I dislike breeders--unnatural mating procedures.

What beautiful babies. So sad that they lost their mom. Again, breeding is sick. So many beautiful babies out there needing homes and never getting a chance at life because people are stupid and prefer to buy an animal.

Beautiful family. If the mother died, did the babies have to be hand fed?

Silvie was beautiful and would still be alive today if she had been spayed. Yes the breed is beautiful as are her kittens but I grieve for Silvie who had no choice but to be used as a kitten popper.

Have to wonder how many photos you took to get these cuties to look in the same direction. Adorable!

It's so sad their mother died. I hope the kittens don't get used for breeding too. A lovely photo of the kittens with another family member.
