A Landmark of Growth: The Two-Pound Club
We celebrate a major milestone this week: every single kitten now weighs over two pounds. This substantial gain is the engine for their newfound strength and endless stamina.

THE CHRONICLE BEGINS: WEEK ONE & PRIOR UPDATES
Spectrum of Color
Week 1 Log
The DLuxxy Aurora Borealis Kittens are here!
Our greatest wish this season has been granted —
not in the sky, but in our nursery.
Welcome Aurora Borealis kittens!
December 5, 2025
Born under the winter sky, this litter embodies magic and mystery. In their honor, we are thrilled to announce they will be our Aurora Borealis Litter. Over the coming weeks, as their colors and personalities shine through, we will give each kitten a name inspired by the northern lights — from the myths that surround them to the dazzling colors they paint across the heavens. Welcome to the world, little lights.

True to their celestial namesake, this litter has painted our nursery with a breathtaking palette. We are thrilled to see:
- Three vibrant Red kittens, blazing like the most intense bands of the aurora.
- One soft Cream kitten, a luminous wisp of cloud.
- One serene Blue kitten, the color of a deep, mystical night sky.
- One stunning Black Tortoiseshell kitten, a perfect mosaic of storm and ember, just like her magnificent mother.
Their colors are a beautiful testament to their extraordinary lineage. They are the living art of their parents: Garnet, our sweet tortoiseshell queen whose every hue is matched by her golden heart, and Sorbus, their gentle red giant of a father.
Our First Priority: Peace & Bonding
The first 24 hours are sacred. Our primary role is to ensure Garnet feels secure and the newborn kittens have uninterrupted access to their vital first meals and their mother’s warmth. To minimize any disturbance during this critical bonding time, we allow for a period of quiet rest before beginning our routine health checks.
✨ Our Magnificent Queen: Garnet
Our majestic queen, Garnet, has done it again with the grace and surety that defines her. In the final days of gestation, her impressive size was a testament to the vibrant life within her. Ever the creature of wise habit, she politely ignored the cozy new birthing cabin we offered, opting instead for her trusted, familiar spot in the nursery — a sacred space where she feels most secure. Her instincts were, as always, flawless. The delivery was smooth, and she handled every moment with serene focus.
Mere moments after the last kitten arrived, the photo here captures her: tired, triumphant, and already the picture of devoted motherhood, with her tail still damp from the birthing waters. She is now settled, purring contentedly, and tending to her precious brood with the same innate kindness that makes her the heart of our cattery.
Steady Growth & First Portraits
Week 1 Log
The nursery is a picture of peaceful harmony. Garnet is the epitome of a devoted mother, nursing and grooming her brood with quiet intensity, while the kittens focus on their vital first job: eating and sleeping.
Mom’s Corner
Garnet is relaxed and confident. She’s enjoying her nutrient-rich meals and plenty of fresh water, fueling the milk bar that’s working so perfectly. She spends most of her time curled protectively around her babies, only leaving briefly for necessities.
First Official Weights – Day 2 Baseline
Now that the family is settled, we’ve completed our first official weigh-in to establish a healthy baseline. We are thrilled to report all kittens are nursing well and have strong, vigorous latches. Their starting weights are:
Day 2 Weights in Ounces:
| Kitten | Day 2 |
|---|---|
| Red A | 5.65 |
| Red B | 5.78 |
| Red C | 5.56 |
| Blue | 5.20 |
| Cream | 6.06 |
| Tortie | 5.69 |
These numbers give us our crucial starting point. From here, we will track their progress with daily weigh-ins to ensure every kitten is on a strong, upward growth curve.
Individual Portraits & Weights
While they spend their days as a cozy, indistinguishable pile, each kitten is already a unique individual. Scroll to see their first solo portraits and the starting weights that mark the beginning of their growth charts.
The Watchful Eye & Fine Details
Week 1 Log
The rhythm of the nursery is now firmly established — a cycle of gentle nursing, deep sleep, and attentive grooming led by the ever-present Garnet. The peace is palpable.
Day 3 Weights in Ounces
| Kitten | Day 2 | Day 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Red female A | 5.65 | 5.93 |
| Red male B | 5.78 | 6.32 |
| Red female C | 5.56 | 5.71 |
| Blue female | 5.20 | 5.75 |
| Cream female | 6.06 | 5.73 |
| Tortie female | 5.69 | 6.49 |
Breeder’s Vigilance:
We monitor our neonates around the clock through observation, not just scales. While our cream kitten’s weight is slightly down today, our physical checks show a strong nursing reflex and a adequately full belly after feedings. We are therefore taking a watchful, supportive approach—ensuring ideal nest temperature and assisting with latch positioning as needed—before any intervention. Garnet is providing excellent care, and we are confident in this kitten’s vitality. We will, of course, update immediately if our protocol escalates.
Developmental Watch:
- Umbilical Cords: Are drying nicely and should detach naturally soon.
- Activity Level: We’re noting subtle differences in wiggle-power during weigh-ins and repositioning. The first hints of personality are in the squirm!
- Vocalization: Some are developing distinctly louder “mews” than their siblings when they root around.
Mom’s Corner:
Garnet is a model of efficiency. She leaves the nest only briefly for her own needs, returning immediately to clean, feed, and settle her brood. Her appetite remains excellent, and she accepts her supplemental snacks with a grateful purr.
Breeder’s Note:
Our primary goal remains unwavering: supporting Garnet and ensuring a stress-free environment for this steady, healthy growth. So far, this litter is textbook perfect.
In the Details, Magic Resides
Before they command the room, they captivate with the smallest wonders. Scroll to witness the exquisite details of our Aurora Borealis kittens — from velvet paws to the whisper-soft patterns just beginning to bloom.
The Rhythm of Growth
Week 1 Log
The nursery hums with the quiet, vital rhythm of neonatal life: feed, sleep, grow, repeat. Our watchful care continues seamlessly alongside Garnet’s impeccable motherhood.
Day 4 Weights – Tracking the Trend
| Kitten | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red male A | 5.65 | 5.93 | 6.46 |
| Red male B | 5.78 | 6.32 | 6.52 |
| Red male C | 5.56 | 5.71 | 6.43 |
| Blue | 5.20 | 5.75 | 6.08 |
| Cream | 6.06 | 5.73 | 6.11 |
| Tortie female | 5.69 | 6.49 | 6.96 |
Update on Our Cream Kitten:
We are pleased to report a positive turnaround! With our supportive monitoring and Garnet’s diligent feeding, our cream kitten has shown a solid gain today, putting them back on a solid trajectory. This is the outcome we work for through attentive, non-invasive care.
Developmental Watch:
Umbilical Cords: Most cords are now dry and should begin detaching soon. The navels look clean and healthy.
Physical Changes: Kittens are becoming slightly more substantial in the hand. Their skin is less translucent as they fill out.
Movement: Increased wiggling and gentle pushing with hind legs during nursing is a sign of growing strength.
Mom’s Corner:
Garnet remains the serene center of this universe. She is eating and drinking heartily to sustain her milk production. She now often greets us with a soft trill when we approach for checks, a sign of deep trust.
Breeder’s Reflection:
Day 4 reaffirms that growth is not always a straight line, but a path guided by vigilant observation and respect for nature’s process. We are exactly where we hope to be.
A Constellation of Contentment
Week 1 Log
Even with a bit of travel these past days, the nursery remains my true north. I stole moments to check in this morning, and again just now tonight — and this evening’s visit was pure peace.
I found Garnet stretched gracefully across the top of her nursery cabin, keeping watch from above.
When I carefully pulled out the kitten basket, the scene inside was nothing short of idyllic. Instead of one tightly wound bundle, each little one slept independently — spread out like tiny, contented stars, their bellies perfectly round and their breathing soft and even. It was so serene, so perfectly cozy, that I didn’t dare disturb them with a camera. Sleep well, little stars. 🌟

Week One Weights – The Impressive Numbers

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Tortie female | 5.69 | 6.49 | 6.96 | 9.25 |
These are exceptional gains, showing strong nursing and excellent maternal care.
Mom’s Corner: A Protector’s Heart
Garnet’s motherhood shines brighter each day. Her protectiveness is a beautiful thing to witness — so much so that during weigh-ins, she often leaps into the basket as if to say, “That’s quite enough, thank you!” Her devotion is the foundation of their well-being, and she continues to eat, drink, and care for them with unwavering commitment.
Developmental Notes:
- Growing Strength & Senses: We are seeing wonderful physical development! All kittens can now hold their heads up steadily during handling, and a new world is opening up to them — when placed on the scale blanket, each one gives it a curious, deliberate sniff. This is a fantastic sign of growing neurological and sensory awareness.
- Quiet Confidence: They are becoming more settled and secure during our checks, a sign of robust health and well-being.
- Physical Changes: Their legs are strengthening, and their movements, while still wobbly, are becoming more purposeful.
- EYES ARE OPEN! In a beautiful and early display of their vitality, the entire Aurora Borealis litter has opened their eyes! We have tiny, dark, curious slits peering out at the world. This is the most magical developmental leap of Week 1.
What’s Next:
We enter the truly magical Week 2, where we eagerly await the opening of their eyes to the world. Our next update will come at the two-week mark, where personalities will begin to sparkle as brightly as their namesake lights.
Thank you for sharing in this joyful journey!
Two-Week Summary: A New Chapter of Awareness

Their impressive growth trajectory holds strong. Every kitten is thriving.
| Kitten | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 7 (Week 1) | Week 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red A female | 5.65 | 5.93 | 6.46 | 8.89 | 12.89 |

Each ounce represents the energy fueling their new adventures.
Mom’s Corner: Garnet’s Shifting Role
Garnet remains the steadfast center of their universe, but her duties are evolving. She now allows brief periods of observation from a slight distance, watching intently as her babies begin to wiggle and sniff. She is still the primary source of warmth, nutrition, and bath time, but she seems to understand that their world is gently expanding.
Developmental Highlights: Senses & Interaction
This week has been defined by a quantum leap in connection and awareness.
- The Gaze: We are now met with direct eye contact. Those dark blue eyes are focusing, tracking movement, and truly seeing us for the first time. A toy wiggled nearby captures their full, silent attention.
- Confident Voices: Their meows have transformed. They are no longer constant, reflexive peeps, but selective, purposeful communications — a call for mom, a squeak of protest during a weigh-in, a murmur of discovery.
- Mobility & Curiosity: Neck strength is solid. When placed on a new blanket or surface, they don’t just lie still — they immediately begin sniffing and nudging, actively processing their environment. They can wiggle and pivot their bodies with determination.
- Ears & Eyes: Ear canals are opening, and their eyes are slowly widening from slits to more rounded shapes.
Two-Week Portraits: Faces of Curiosity
This week’s photos focus on their new alertness. We’ve captured:
- The Intentional Gaze: Close-ups where they are clearly looking at the camera or a toy.
- Sniffing in Action: Shots of them with noses pressed into the blanket, mid-investigation.
- The Awake Pile: A group photo where you can see most faces are up, eyes open, taking in their surroundings.
Three Weeks: Where Promise Takes Form
Weekly Log
To witness the first three weeks of a Maine Coon’s life is to watch magic condense into fur and bone. They arrived as whispers — tiny, blind beings who knew the world only by scent and warmth. Now, they are declarations. Eyes the color of a winter sky track our every move. Ears, once folded against velvet skulls, stand at attention to capture the symphony of the nursery. They have learned the alchemy of human attention, practicing ferocious little puffs and heart-melting head tilts with equal dedication. Their colors, once mere hints, now blaze with promise: ember reds, stormy blues, creamy moonlight, and the tortoiseshell’s mosaic of night and fire. Even their tails whisper of the grandeur to come, fuzzing with the first hint of the magnificent plume that is their birthright. They are no longer simply newborns; they are kittens, in every glorious, curious, and cunning sense of the word.
The nursery has become a classroom, and Lesson One is clearly: How To Be Irresistible. They don’t just hear us enter into their realm — they mobilize, becoming a warm, meowing tide around our feet. They are learning their power, and their tools — those wide, watery blue doll’s eyes and fuzzing tails — are already masterfully deployed. The little rats have vanished, replaced by magnificent, tiny cats.
But the true marvel is in their behavior: they are little con artists and comedians, already experimenting with the dramatic puff and the helpless snuggle. They have learned that humans are the source of all good things, and they gather at our feet like fuzzy, purring disciples. The miracle of Week Three is that they are now, unmistakably, themselves.
This explosive growth is measured not just in wonder, but in ounces and grams. We are thrilled to announce a landmark that speaks volumes about their vigor: every single kitten in the Aurora Borealis litter has surpassed the one-pound mark, a full week ahead of the typical milestone. They are not just thriving; they are conquering their own growth charts with the same determination they show in their daily adventures.
| Kitten | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red A female | 5.65 | 5.93 | 6.46 | 8.89 | 12.89 | 16.12 |
| Red B male | 5.78 | 6.32 | 6.52 | 9.09 | 13.75 | 16.21 |
| Red C female | 5.56 | 5.71 | 6.43 | 8.62 | 14.92 | 16.48 |
| Blue female | 5.20 | 5.75 | 6.08 | 8.62 | 12.87 | 16.59 |
| Cream female | 6.06 | 5.73 | 6.11 | 8.77 | 12.82 | 16.92 |
| Tortie female | 5.69 | 6.49 | 6.96 | 9.25 | 13.58 | 16.97 |
The Aurora Borealis Litter – Four Weeks: Comedy in Motion
Weekly Log
🌟 FOUR WEEKS – The Social Spark Ignites
If Week Three revealed their personalities, Week Four has set them loose upon the world — and our ankles. The nursery has transformed from a sleepy haven into a bustling playground of pounces, tumbles, and elaborate, comically serious games. The most profound development isn’t measured in grams, but in intention: they now seek us out, clustering around feet with purposeful devotion, their bright eyes locking onto ours as if sharing a private joke.
The Numbers: A Foundation for Play
Their breathtaking growth provides the fuel for this daily circus. We are delighted to share their continued impressive gains.
| Kitten | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red A (female) | 5.65 | 5.93 | 6.46 | 8.89 | 12.89 | 16.12 | 20.06 |
| Gunner (red male) | 5.78 | 6.32 | 6.52 | 9.09 | 13.75 | 16.21 | 19.37 |
| Elara (red female) | 5.56 | 5.71 | 6.43 | 8.62 | 14.92 | 16.48 | 21.70 |
| Ursa (blue female) | 5.20 | 5.75 | 6.08 | 8.62 | 12.87 | 16.59 | 19.49 |
| Taiga (cream female | 6.06 | 5.73 | 6.11 | 8.77 | 12.82 | 16.92 | 19.30 |
| Citrus (tortie female) | 5.69 | 6.49 | 6.96 | 9.25 | 13.58 | 16.97 | 20.67 |
Each ounce translates directly into higher pounces, faster escapes, and more determined climbs onto unsuspecting human feet.
Mom’s Corner: Garnet’s Gradual Release
Garnet now watches the chaos with the serene air of a seasoned supervisor. She is still the ultimate comfort station, but she increasingly allows her rambunctious offspring to explore, stepping in only for feedings, baths, or to break up a wrestling match that gets too rowdy. Her motherly pride is evident in her calm observation.
A new logistical chapter has begun: The kittens’ substantial size means Garnet can no longer accommodate the entire litter at once. Nursing has become a carefully managed activity of shifts. She calmly feeds three at a time while the others wait their turn, play nearby, or doze—a testament to her patience and their growing ability to understand routines. It’s a beautiful, practical dance of motherhood.
Developmental Highlights: The Intentional Kitten
- Mobility Mastered: The wobbly walk is gone. Replaced by confident runs, controlled skids, and playful leaps onto siblings (and shoelaces).
- Social Creatures: Play is no longer accidental. They orchestrate games — stalk, pounce, wrestle, repeat — with each other and are fascinated by the gentle swishes of older cats’ tails.
- The Human Connection: This is the week of targeted affection. They don’t just accept human contact; they initiate it, swarming our feet and following us like tiny, fuzzy ducklings. Eye contact is constant and intelligent.
- Features Emerge: Ear tufts are becoming visible. Coat patterns are crisper. Their baby-blue eyes still hold that watery doll-like shine, soon to begin their color transformation.
This Week’s Focus: Action Shots!
Our photo session will capture the blur of motion: mid-pounce play, the intense focus of a stalk, and the heart-melting sight of a kitten pile that has deliberately formed at a human’s feet. Check back soon for the gallery!
On the Horizon: Weaning & World Domination
Week Five will introduce the next great adventure: the first serious steps toward weaning onto solid food. As their physical coordination and social bonds solidify, their unique characters will shine brighter than ever.
Introduction to the Aurora Borealis Galleries: Stars Finding Their Orbits
Weekly Log
We are profoundly grateful that the first two stars to find their orbits are joining cherished returning families. There is no greater testament to the DLuxxy journey than the trust of a family who chooses to welcome a second kitten into their home. It is the highest compliment we could receive.
As our kittens cross the four-week threshold, their world — and ours — expands in wonderful new ways. This update was initially meant to feature a unified gallery of the entire litter, as we have in weeks past. However, a wonderful development has reshaped our plans: the constellation is already beginning to find its forever homes.
With two of our Aurora Borealis kittens joyfully spoken for, our shared story naturally enters its next chapter. To honor the individual journeys now beginning, we will present their progress through dedicated, individual galleries.
This shift allows us to celebrate each kitten’s unique spirit and burgeoning traits in detail, giving special focus to those charting their course home — and offering a clearer, more intimate look at the spectacular personalities still available.
Where to Begin:
We invite you to meet them one by one, starting with those whose futures are now mapped. Below are the first of these individual portraits. For those dreaming of a DLuxxy Maine Coon, we encourage you to look closely — the remaining stars in this luminous litter will not shine here for long.
The adventure continues, now with a focus on the singular wonders within the aurora’s glow.
Red Maine Coon Kitten Gunner: A Portrait in Motion
As our Aurora Borealis litter embarks on their individual journeys, we begin with a star of formidable promise: Gunner.
This vibrant red male has captured hearts with more than just his stunning color. From the early days of determined head-lifts, Gunner has revealed a core of focused intensity. The playroom is his proving ground, and these images capture the essence of the kitten he is becoming.
Here, you’ll see more than a beautiful coat. You’ll witness the precision of his physique in mid-pounce, the concentration in his eyes as he tracks the “prey,” and the powerful instinct of the hunt coming alive in a tangle of wool. These are not just playful snaps; they are the first frames of Gunner’s great adventure—a testament to the mighty heart and sharp mind housed in his growing form.
We are doubly delighted that Gunner’s adventure will unfold in a familiar, loving territory. He is going home to join Leni and become a cherished companion for Suzanne. There is no greater compliment than a return customer, and we are overjoyed that Suzanne’s happiness with her DLuxxy Maine Coon has led her back to us. We know Gunner is stepping into a world ready to appreciate every ounce of his mighty spirit.
We are overjoyed that Gunner has found his family and will have a world to explore. This gallery is a tribute to his fierce, wonderful spirit.
Citrus: Our Tortoiseshell Sovereign: Grace Personified
Meet the serene heart of the Aurora Borealis litter: our magnificent black tortoiseshell female. From her earliest days, she has carried herself with a gentle, innate grace — a calm and observant presence amidst her more rambunctious siblings. Her feminine poise and sweet, steady temperament make her the epitome of a perfect family companion, a kitten who seems to understand the quiet magic of a loving home.
We are overjoyed that she is destined for a very special place. She will be joining the wonderful family of our stunning blue boy, Nimbus. We have it on the highest authority — a young gentleman named Thomas — that her place is certain: “Yes, Thomas says tortie needs to be in our home with Uncle Nimbus.”
With such a heartfelt decree, we know she is not just finding a home, but enriching one that already understands the DLuxxy standard of love and care. We are thrilled to imagine the joy she will bring to the entire family and the beautiful friendship that will blossom alongside her majestic uncle.
Taiga: Our Cream Female: A Ray of Soft Light
Now, we turn our focus to a radiant star still shining brightly in our nursery, awaiting her destined home: our exquisite cream female.
This kitten embodies a beautiful duality. In play, she is deeply attentive and wholly engaged, studying the movement of a toy with intelligent focus before launching into the chase with graceful precision. Yet, when gathered into your arms, that same intensity melts into the most soft, pliable, and affectionate temperament. She is a study in contrasts — playfully sharp yet endlessly sweet, making her the perfect integrated companion.
Her luxurious cream coat, like warmed ivory, promises the magnificent fluff of the Maine Coon lineage. She is more than ready to become the engaged playmate and the devoted, soothing presence at the heart of a loving family. For a home seeking a kitten with both spark and sublime gentleness, she is a dream waiting to be realized.
Elara: Behold The Ember Empress: Incandescent Spirit
If the Aurora Borealis litter has a heart of pure, joyful fire, it beats within this magnificent red female. She is a vision of vibrant color and incandescent spirit, a kitten whose very presence seems to brighten the room. Her personality is not merely engaging — it is captivating.
Watch her in play, and you witness fearless determination paired with an innate genius for fun. She approaches every toy, every tumbling sibling, with a focus that borders on regal command, transforming simple games into epic, delightful pursuits. She doesn’t just play; she orchestrates joy.
Her attitude is perpetually sunlit — a positive, radiant force that is both confident and irresistibly charming. This is a kitten of sublime confidence and boundless warmth, a companion who promises a lifetime of dazzling engagement and unwavering affection. She is, quite simply, incredible beyond comparison.
Ursa: Our Blue & Cream Maiden: The Serene Sky at Dawn
Every kitten in the Aurora Borealis litter carries the celestial signature of grace, play, and joy. Our stunning blue and cream female embodies this legacy with her own serene and luminous beauty.
Her coat is a living watercolor — a gentle wash of pale cream brushed over a soft, misty blue, like the first light of dawn meeting a quiet sky. She moves with a poised, liquid grace, making every pounce and playful swat look like part of a elegant dance. Yet, within that grace lies an unmistakable spark of joy; she engages in the litter’s lively games with bright-eyed delight, a soft murmur of a purr underscoring her happiness.
She is the peaceful center and the playful participant all at once — a kitten whose very presence feels like a blessing of calm and contentment. For a home seeking a companion whose beauty is matched only by her sweet-natured and joyful spirit, she is a dream painted in the most delicate shades of blue and cream.
Tundra: A Fiery Soul with a Steady Heart
Where some flames burn bright and fast, this radiant red female possesses a different, more wondrous kind of fire: one with a deep, steady warmth. She embodies a magnificent balance—the engaging beauty and spirited playfulness expected of her glorious color, tempered by a foundation of remarkable calm and poise.
Her beauty is undeniable, a vibrant cascade of red that commands attention. Yet, her true magic lies in her demeanor. She engages in play with focused enthusiasm, but never frantic energy. After a spirited romp, she is just as content to settle into a serene loaf, observing her world with intelligent, peaceful eyes. This balance makes her an exceptionally integrated companion—a kitten ready for adventurous play one moment and offering tranquil, devoted companionship the next.
She is the best of both worlds: a fiery soul to light up your days and a steady heart to grace your home with timeless, gentle presence.
Graduation to Preschool: The Great Exploration
Weekly Log
Conquest of the Living Room
If Week Four was comedy, Week Five is an epic adventure. The nursery walls have fallen. Our Aurora Borealis kittens are now citizens of the entire house, a tiny, fuzzy exploration squadron mapping every corner, chair leg, and shoelace with fearless curiosity. Their world has exploded in scale, and they are claiming it, one wobbly climb and pounce at a time.
Habitats & Personalities: A Tapestry of Quirks
We are now watching individual habits crystallize into delightful daily rituals:
- Citrus (Tortie Female): The ultimate companion, a silent, devoted shadow who believes anywhere we are is exactly where she needs to be.
- Taiga (Cream Female): The master of cozy engineering, finding the perfect, improbable nook on Rigel’s shoulder for her naps.
- Gunner (Red Male): Our intrepid explorer, constantly testing his strength against siblings and the laws of gravity.
- Elara (Red Female): The playful pragmatist, who has discovered that human shoes are the most fascinating, moving toys.
- Ursa (Blue/Cream Female): The affectionate anchor, expressing love through the gentle art of foot-clinging.
- Tundra: The quiet communicator, speaking volumes through her intense, soulful gaze.
The Heart of the Matter: Exceptional Temperament
Amidst this whirlwind of activity, their core nature shines brighter than ever. Every single kitten possesses an exceptionally soft and kind disposition. They accept being gathered up with trust, only voicing a gentle concern as they are lowered to the floor — a tentative spread of paws, a brief tension that says they are still learning the absolute certainty of our care. It is a privilege to earn that trust daily.
Mom’s Corner: Garnet, The Patient Patron
Garnet continues her reign with magnificent patience. She now presides over a mobile milk bar, feeding her robust offspring in diligent shifts while calmly observing their domestic conquests. Her work in building their health and confidence is the foundation of every adventure we now witness. Thank you, Garnet, for your unwavering excellence.
Five-Week Milestones: Growth & Development
- Hygiene: Mastery of kitty litter boxes — a tidy and independent crew!
- Diet: Fully engaged in solid food while still benefiting from mom’s milk — the best of both worlds.
- Growth & Energy: Impressive weight gains continue unabated, perfectly fueling their boundless adventures and muscular development. Every kitten is the picture of robust health.
- Mobility: Furniture scaling, leg climbing, and confident sprints are now standard.
- Socialization: Deep, habitual bonding with both humans and each other is evident in their daily routines.
The Next Chapter: Graduation & Individual Showcases
This marks a major transition. The kittens have graduated from our chronicle’s “kindergarten” and are ready for their individual spotlight. Week 5 weights will be updated in the growth chart below, but moving forward, you will find their continued stories, new photos, and details on our dedicated available Maine Coon kittens page.

Six Weeks: Force of Nature
Weekly Log
If Week Five was exploration, Week Six is domination. The Aurora Borealis have transformed into a mighty, furry force — a stampede of pure kinetic joy that thunders through the halls, redefines play, and then dissolves into a house-wide sprawl of deeply satisfied sleep. Their power is palpable.

Development in Motion: The Full-Tilt Life
- Activity Level: Has tripled. Their world is a non-stop circuit of chase, pounce, wrestle, and climb — often involving the patient older cats as bemused jungle gyms.
- Fuel for the Fire: They are voracious eaters of our premium homemade food, seamlessly combining it with nursing sessions. Garnet’s milk remains their sacred superfuel.
- The Sleep of the Victorious: After the whirlwind, they scatter to their secret nooks for the deep, twitchy sleep of the utterly spent and content.
Mom’s Corner: Garnet, The Confident Matriarch
Garnet’s role has evolved into that of a confident matriarch. She provides milk and grooming on demand but now also grants them independence, knowing her robust offspring are safe within the DLuxxy fortress. Her trust in their environment is the ultimate testament to their security and her impeccable care.
The Human Connection: All-Access Affection
Their friendliness is as boundless as their energy. They seek us for shoulder perches, lap naps, and foot-play, communicating with their entire beings. (A gentle reminder: those razor-sharp kitten claws are instruments of love, currently being guided toward appropriate climbing posts!).
The Final Act: A Closing Constellation
With profound joy, we share that homes have been secured for four of our six stellar kittens. The DLuxxy legacy continues to grow in wonderful families.
Now, the spotlight shines on our two magnificent, available red females: Elara and her sister Tundra. They represent the pinnacle of this litter’s health, temperament, and beauty. Their time in our nursery is now a precious, fleeting gift for the right family.
If you are ready for a lifetime of determined play, dazzling beauty, and boundless love, your moment is here. Visit their galleries above and
