Lillys first litter of kittens are piling on the weight with Lillys wonderful care she has taken to being a mum really well and is very protective of her new babies.

We have given these kittens a 'World Cup' theme as they were born a couple of days before the 2006 World Cup started.

Here are pictures of the kittens taken by Toly and Valentina aged 8 1/2 weeks:
