I’ve been watching the last 48 hours.

There is a routine: Sleep ... wash the kiddies ... the babies eat ... sleep [repeat]

All day.

When the wake up they are so cute.

One or two little babies stay up and eat while everyone else sleeps. :)

They were born Memorial Day weekend ... 2 weeks ago.

Mom’s name is “Sera”.

They are the first lions ever born in Norway.

Haha .. I have tried to do that too. She is up now.

But, as the quintessential kitty, she sleeps a lot. :)

It's not like she has to hunt for her food, either.

OMG!! There are people in the cage. Looks like they are weighing each of the babies in a bucket and recording it. They are meowing. :)

Do dangerous to weigh the kitties with her there. :)

Thanks for the screen caps. I missed the real thing.

Now it looks like the little ones are looking for mama. She's not back in yet.

They are getting bigger.

I noticed that with my chihuahua Fidel. He went from 15 ounces up to 5 pounds in no time!

We’re having a lot of fun watching the cubs. Mom really does take good care of them.

Soon they’ll be playing and leaping at each other to exercise their muscles. Can’t wait to watch them.

Thanks, BS, for this treat.
