We picked up our kitten today!

[Kenworthington]

Here he is. He is BONKERS and into everything. MN meet Colin

Sorry can't keep him still long enough to take a proper photo 😂

[Fluffycloudland77]

He looks bonkers too! I hope your chimneys too small to fit a kitten.

I bet your shattered with removing him from exciting life threatening situations by now.

[cozietoesie]

Hasn't he slept yet? You'll be a nervous wreck before too long!

[BikeRunSki]

Is it you who was ranting about Centre Parks last night OP?

[Kenworthington]

Haha yeah it was! Am home now thank the Lord!

[Kenworthington]

Cozie- he's now crashed out on my best blanket on the sofa, finally. Dh who was white ADAMENT we would not be getting a kitten, has instructed me that I must be prepared to get up in the night in case Colin needs me and to leave all the doors open so he can come and look for us if he wants us for anything. 😂 that's not gonna happen though right? Right??

[cozietoesie]

He'll likely sleep for about three or four hours. Be prepared for Crash Bang Wallop in the early hours.

How I love the fact that Siamese sleep through.

[Lorelei76]

Ooh if he is asleep you can take a proper photo, can hardly see these.
Back at home with a kitten, you must be well happy. Enjoy!

[WeirdAndPissedOff]

Aww, he's gorgeous - congrats!
IME kittens gave two modes - asleep and MANIC WANTS ATTENTION/FOOD/TO PLAY NOW!

We always tended to limit ours to one room overnight when we first got them so that we could kitten-proof it to some degree - ours seemed to always be getting into mischief and scrapes! But then I'm quite a worrier anyway.

[LaurieFairyCake]

Is that him weeing in the plant pot ?

[iloveeverykindofcat]

Guarantee you he is crapping in that pot. When we first got kittens we thought they didn't poop. Totally mystified. Then we went to water the plants.

[Kenworthington]

Oh god do you think? He seemed to sleep all night- was in the same position this mornjng as last night. He is sneezing a lot. Has he got a kitten cold??!

[Kenworthington]

Oh god he's in that bloody plant pot again. I think maybe you're right but how an I make him stop and go int he tray?

[iloveeverykindofcat]

We just removed the plants! But my friend did it by wiping the kittens' bottoms with cotton wool, then putting the cotton wool in the litter tray. She had two and once one used the tray the other copied.

[Kenworthington]

Will that work at his age? He's just over three months and apparently has been no bother this far. (Previous owner obv did not own a lovely cheese plant)

[Fluffycloudland77]

Has he seen a vet? Kittens shouldn't sneeze.

Has he had his flu vaccine yet?.

[iloveeverykindofcat]

I'm not sure, but it can't hurt to try. Does he pee in the tray? And yy to vet.

[Kenworthington]

He's seeing vet tomorrow. For second lot of vaccinations and a health check. He has been sticking his nose into all kinds of dusty nastiness though..

[Kenworthington]

No idea i can't tell. I bought the wood pellet litter (which I don't think he likes) but maybe I'll get some clumping stuff today.

[fanniboz]

Hello Colin he's gorgeous. Enjoy him OP, very jealous! he has the best name ever

[Kenworthington]

Here he is this morning with his favourite feathery thing. He's now just dragging it round the house

[iloveeverykindofcat]

A gorgeous panther! I love black cats.

[OliviaStabler]

He's so lovely.

[Emochild]

Colin is 100% using that plant as a litter tray

Have fun with that

[Toddlerteaplease]

He's lovely. I second the plant litter tray thing!
