ok ok kitten pics!

Dill (ginger boy) and Parsley (brown tortie ish girl)
my 12 week old Maine Coons :)

It is already clear that Parsley is the brighter and braver of the two.. I've had them 24 hours and she is coming for a cuddle and purring lots. Dill is more timid and dopey but will purr if I stroke him after food:)

As you can see from Dill over my shoulder.. he's only 12 weeks and I think he may be quite big when he grows up!

[cozietoesie]

Almost edible. (And those ears on Parsley - don't let her outside in windy conditions !)

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

I know.. she has HUGE Coon ears :) And a purr that can't possibly come from such a dinky little body :) Maybe we should rename her Dumbo

[chockbic]

They are gorgeous and cuddlesome.

Loving the lion face of Dill.

[Meow75]

It's a good job we don't know where you live. I love ginger cats so Dill is awesome, and Parsley looks a bit like my childhood cat.

Lovely names too - nice one Medusa!!

[Fluffycloudland77]

Oh they are munchable. Parsley is so pretty.

Dills paws are huge. He's going to be a big boy.

I just want to munch their little tummies.

[Corygal]

Too swooningly sweet! You must be so happy and proud.

[CatKisser]

Oh they are just BEAUTIFUL!!!
Torties have such a special place in my heart as do gingers. Those ears! Immensely jealous and suddenly cat-broody!!

[CatKisser]

And look at the ginger's MASSIVE front legs!! He's going to be a huge lad!

[timtam23]

Oh they are gorgeous. Just look at those ears!

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

Now having a name dilemma
The kids are adamant that we should stick to our original choices (Obi.. Oberon and Ophie ..Ophelia) and I kinda agree. But Dh wants to stick with Dill....

[Meow75]

Well, there's nothing wrong with them having nicknames. Out two have about seven names each!!!!

[Fluffycloudland77]

I kinda like dill too.

My cat was called peter and spartacus as a kitten by the breeder.

Who chose names last time?

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

I always choose... (last time my kids were only little) they are mine I tell you MINE!!!!!

Girly is deinitely going back to be Ophelia.. Ophie suits her as she looks delicate and ethereal but is actually pretty feisty. Obi/Dill is less obvious... maybe we can combine them.. Dillobie? Obidill?

[cozietoesie]

They'll grow into the names that 'fit' them. I'd be pretty relaxed about it.

[RubbishMantra]

Aww! Female has awesome ears! Like a Lynx! (I have a weakness for large-eared cats, having a Devon Rex myself)

Enjoy basking in the lovely kitten love.

[minkah]

They are completely gorgeous. more pics will be required.

Congratulations on the new family members.

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

Aw SugarSkully they are mega ears :D

[chockbic]

Pretty kitty, SS :)

How are your kittens doing, Medusa?

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

They are FAB! Ophelia is the braver..and naughtier of the two and is already rocking up to me in the morning squeaking and purring :) Oberon is a bit shy and dim, but is now approaching me and this morning came and lay across my laptop while I was having my coffee in bed before work :D

I am wondering whether I could bring them downstairs for a few hours when Portia is out (she usually mooches out for a few hours in the evening) or is it too soon?

I need to tire them out as they were rampaging across the landing at 3am this morning..and for tiny babies they sounded like elephants. Plus the attractive 4am poos..... :D

I LUFFS them!

[cozietoesie]

That's th advantage of having Siamese sleeping in bed with you - within 24/36 hours, they've adjusted to human rhythms and are sleeping through. Have you considered letting them come into your room of a night?

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

I slept with them last night in the spare room.. but yes tonight they can come into my room..and bed.. ANYTHING for a quiet night :D

[cozietoesie]

Best of luck then. I've always had cats who sleep through (for many moons) and I would be a tad.....tetchy......about being woken up at 3 in the morning.

[kelper]

Oh my they are gorgeous!!!
