my babies are getting friendlier. i have not succeded to teach them their names but they are getting straight A-s in cuddling subjects

Can there be anything cuter than two Tonk kittens growing up together?

I might be biased...but I don't think there is anything cuter than Tonks...period!

I so love snuggly kittens...more pics please!!!

My natural mink boy has more yellow eyes than acqua - actually his eyes are of a solit coat pattern. But the breeders said it may change. Has anyone had experienced eye color change after 5 months of age? Whatever his color is he is very sweet and I do not care. However with acqua eyes he would be absolutely stunning.

Alastair (Blue Mink)had the same thing...but his eyes were a very gold green.

My breeder told me that sometimes Mink's eye's take time to "develop"...so I waited but Alastair's never changed into aqua...and Finster my current Natural Mink and Aston my first Natural Mink (he's over the bridge now) both has georgous aqua eye color from the get go...

give it a few months...but if they haven't changed by around 8 or 9 months, chances are they are just going to stay...my parents have two champagne minks who's eyes are clearly aqua...but much greener aqua than my Finster who's eyes look like the Carribean....

Oh my! i love all the pictures of the tonks and delilah! i just love the stories too! i can just pictures alistar trying to make his mark, and the 2 kittens jumping. ahhh, such sweet joy!

Is your blue boy more friendly now? They are both absolutely beautiful boys! Hope you are enjoying your first time with kittens!

My little Sina hid under the bed all day the first day I brought her home... and it took her days to voluntarily venture out from my room into the rest of my apartment. I cried the first day because my new baby didn't like me! (of course I knew this was not rational, but having lost my beloved Charlie three months before it was extremely emotional getting a new kitten) Now of course, Sina is a velcro cat and my best friend...

In short, sometimes it just takes a bit of extra time!

Hi Calin,

My blue boy has wormed up a little bit, but he still does not come to my laps voluntarily and when I stroke him and cuddl after half a minute he is ready to run. However he does roll down and let me pet his belly and face, then in a second he decides it was enough and runs away. He likes his brother a lot . He is also more difficult one to brash and groom. In shourt he is a tought boy. The natural mink continues to be very sweet and docile. lets me groom him easily and stays in my laps enjoying stroking.
