Kittens Update plus i have a querie

[Sonumb]

So the remaining 3 kittens pulled through & are now fit and healthy , fully litter trained and eating solids though they are still feeding from mum .
They are 8 weeks and Tuesday & I have arranged for them to go to their new homes on the 31/05/14 im not allowed to keep them

My querie is they are tiny (still fit in my hand) more like 6 week olds in size so I'm just concerned as to whether I should be letting them go or waiting a bit longer
I'm no expert though so was just looking for advice tbh - I'll try and add some pics

So that would make them 10 weeks when they go?

Are they packing away their groceries now that they're better because that could make a fair difference to their size in a couple of weeks.

Oh - and are their new owners to be experienced cat owners?

(I'm so glad they pulled through.)

[Sonumb]

I know 2 of the owners are experienced though not sure on the 3rd but they are a lovely family .
They are eating but still prefer mum to food unless its cooked chicken

[Sonumb]

They are feeding a lot more as well now they are better

[isseywithcats]

so glad to read that all of them pulled through and while they are with mom they will carry on using the milk bar cant blame them , my tuxies were tiny when i got them and now 8 years later are still both very dainty cats the other two big boys are twice the size of them just genetics in their case, at ten weeks they should be fine

[Sonumb]

ok fab thanks

[cozietoesie]

They should be fine at 10 weeks. I think one can come to forget just how small young kits are.

But do I detect the merest hint of 'I would rather keep them myself'?

[Sonumb]

Oh I'd love to keep them but Dp says no as we already have 5 cats
But the 5 cats we have seem to have claimed Dp as their owner and don't bother with me

The kittens seem to want to be with me as they nap on me (one on each shoulder and one on my chest) and often sit on my knee for cuddles and to play , They have the most amazing personalities as well

I'm going to be devastated when they go .
I'll try and put some pictures on my profile as my phone won't let me put them on here

[cozietoesie]

You pulled them through some very rocky times indeed so well done you for that - and they'll be going to homes where they will be much loved and likely pampered.

You did good - and soon you'll be ready and free in case you're Dudleyed all over again eh?

[Sonumb]

I'm definitely close too them but they are going too good homes thankfully

[Fluffycloudland77]

Is your dh a cat charmer?

[Sonumb]

It seems that way Cozie its funny at night when they all sit on him as they are huge Maine Coons .

[Sonumb]

I meant Fluffy sorry
