Last all together photo shoot yesterday, as kittens start to leave this week.
The handsome Andrei Nicolsky
Andrei will be staying a little while longer and will be going to a show soon.He is a happy purr machine and naughty cheeky boy.
The very beautiful Polina Pavlova - pet name Ella.
Another beauty Kalisa or Kali 
Kali will be going to live with her sister Ella.So we get to enjoy her longer too.
Pretty little Liliana - Lily
Lily will leave us on Tuesday.She is going to be a great companion for her new owner.
The most gorgeous baby Button in the world - Lakisha petname Kisha.
Kisha left us today and she will me very much missed as she is a cheeky, beautiful little girl with a fabulous personality. She also has the most wonderful plushy, soft, silky, silvery coat - devine to touch. We are hoping she will be seen at shows in the future to fly the Koreshka flag, as we are sure she would do rather well.
Last but by no means least
Kandilinska - petname Kandi
Kandi also left us today as she has gone to live with her sister Kisha. She too is a fantastic character and will make a really good companion.
Two sleepy babies on a Sunday afternoon.

Hi the pictures are a little late again but here you go.
The kittens are really growing now - getting bigger and getting lovely shiny coats and all getting more pretty/handsome for the boy by the day. Only 2 more weeks leftt for some - so we can introduce you to some who now have names.
Koreshka Lakisha or Kisha you might remember her as Button?
Next is Koreshka Kandilinska or Kandi.
Then the boy is called Koreshka Andrei Nicolsky orAndrei or little man.
And then the other girls have names but we need to decide who is who, the names are Koreshka Liliana, Koreshka Kalisa and Koreshka Polina Pavlova.
7th August 2011 ( 9 weeks and 5 days old).
Again apologies for late photos but we have been very busy not only playing with the kittens but we also went to a show on Saturday. Unfortunately Nici didn't get his Imperial certificate but we also took Roksi with us as she went off to stud after visiting the vets for a health check . On the way home we picked up our new kitten Eva, so although it was a long day it saved us another trip on another day. We will still have to go and collect Roksi though and we can't wait for her to come home.
The kittens had their first trip to the vets last week and they all had a thorough health check and their first vaccinations. They were as good as gold and didn't even flinch when the needle went in, it was very tricky with 6, next visit we will remember to take 2 baskets!
Anyway here they are looking rather good in their 10th week.

Apologies for no pictures for a while, we have been to busy playing with kittens but we hope these will make up for it. The kittens are growing fast now and playing hard, so need plenty of food for fuel.
Here is the boy kitten - see how handsome he has become.

2nd July 2011 (4 weeks and 4 days old).
We are growing fast now and learning something new every day. This week we have discovered the litter tray, some of us have mastered the art of using it for a no 1, not quite managed the other in their yet but close by. Some still think it's to play in too. We have been having some formula milk, water and some of us have had a nibble at some food too, oh and we have stood in it, walked in it., flicked it everywhere. We have also got flicked with milk as our Mum finishes of our tea - known in the Koreshka household as messy week.
We have also learn't to climb up the sides of the pen but not quite figured out how to get down - we are getting faster. Human mummy is going to give us some toys later. Not that we need them as we are having fun chasing each other and biteing each others ears but we still wobble and fall over.
Let us introduce ourselves
Boy Kitten, he's going to be a handsome chap
Baby girl our human Mum has called her Button for now, she has lovely sweet features and a button nose.
This is one of 2 girls the only way to tell her and a sister apart was that one had a narrower tale
Our human Mum is likeing this girl and her ear tufts.
And also this girl and her ear tufts
And this one and her ear tufts, she has a look of a young Champion from last years litter.
We are all quite gorgeous again like last years kittens, how could you resist us?
I Love my sister so I decided to give her an ear wash! Must be love!
But we are still very much babies, and our batteries don't last very long.ut we
That's all for this week folks.
24/25th June 2011 ( 3 weeks and 3/4 days old).
The kittens are really getting mobile now, no doubt they will soon be making the great escape from the cat bed.
See how cute we look, I have tufts like on my ears like Roksi!
I say high five.
Look into my deep blue eyes - they will tun green though.
Guess what Mummy and our sister are doing?
Yes that right, they are thinking so which one do I round up first?
Roksi looks on dumbfounded by the pesky kittens!Thinking they should be in this bed not me.
i How sweet we all look, just about managed to get a picture of all 6 of us.
Roksi desides to stun a kitten to see if she can control them that way.
That's all for this week folks.
21st June 2011 ( 3 weeks and 1 day old).
Well we are really coming on fast now, we are all standing but we are
very very unsteady on our little feet and we topple over even if we jsut lift a paw to have a look or Mum give's us a lick. Some of us have started to try to wash a paw or to play, we have been chewing each others ears or ankles, we are going to be having fun in the next few days.
And we're off!
See our lovely markings, all Russians have a tabby gene which makes the markings show when we are kittens. As we get older these fade and the only markings which are left on adults are sometimes a few faint rings on the end of the tail. These will generally continue to fade with age.
Mum watches on as a couple of us have had our fill and fancy a little explore.
Our Mum is brighter than us and blocks the exit.
One of us is frightened of missing something.
But it doesn't last long all that milk in the tummy makes for very sleepy kittens - Goodnight! Purr purr, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
16th June 2011 (2 weeks and 2 days old).
The kittens are growing before our eyes, they are now holding their heads up a little but are still very wobbly and move by doing a swimming movement, it will be a little while yet until they can walk.
We have a new bigger bed as it was becoming a tight squeeze in the one we were in last week, as you can see we have grown lot bigger.
IHi everyone here we are - we can all see you now.
I am a little cutie - human mummy will be keeping an eye on me to see how I develop.II
Human mum reckons I have the look of a certain little lady from the litter last year - so we will watch with interest over the next few weeks along with my siblings to see who might stay!
Mind you who wouldn't be gorgeous with a beautiful Mum like ours?
11th June 2011( 1 week and 4 days old).
The kittens are growing well, putting on a good amount of weight every day and their eyes are all open except one girls who has hers half open and the boy is slower than the girls and his are not open at all.
A collection of kitties.
Snoozy faces
Cutey - nice nose shape
Sweet expression on this tiny
5th June 2011( 5 days old).
The babies and Mum are more settled now, Eli has stopped moving them around, she is now in her kitten pen in our room and even though it just has mesh sides ans she is free to jump in and out when she likes - she is happy in there.
Look at the whisker pads already on this tiny girl.
Mummy and kitten all sleepy - it's hard work feeding and being fed.
g and 3rd June 2011( 3 days old).
The babies are growing and putting on weight, Eli still can't decide where she want's to be with them so she has adopted our bed - not much sleep for the humans then!!!! Especially as she keeps depositing 1 or 2 in the bed, so we have disposed of the duvet - good job there is a heat wave and she is now in a bed at the end of our bed but still on top, as she likes us close by - Bless her paws.
Eli in residence on our bed - looks comfy doesn't she?
A couple of kittens tuck in at the milk bar.
Look at this tini tiny back paw - aawwwwwwwww!
What a little cutee?
