OMG there are kittens in my garden!!!

[GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal]

Was eating my lunch in the garden when this little beauty appeared at my feet! She said hello and wandered into the kitchen, and out again, then disappeared behind the tree stump and came back with a shyer, browner sibling (haven't caught that one on camera yet!) and they had a good explore together.

According to one of the neighbours they live in one of the houses behind us - which will set DH's mind at rest, he was clearly worried we'd acquired two more cats! I was a bit worried about our big ginger beast appearing and giving them their marching orders - instead he came out, clocked them, and hid under the garden table!

I'm being a responsible adult and not attempting to steal them - but I wish I could!! They're so gorgeous!

Well obviously you need to go round and shout hello- from 2 m of course... You need to offer up second owner services. The best dcats have at least 2 homes that feed them.. Don't they???
Ime..
When our 3 legged dcat went missing ours wasn't the only Lost Cat notice for him!!.

[Stabbitha]

Oh they are stunning

[bellinisurge]

Oh Lord. You need nerves of steel.

[Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese]

@Windyatthebeach is right, I think you need to offer second ownership!!

Also love that someone else put posters out when yours went off Windy, did you get him back?

[JessicaDay]

So pretty, gorgeous kitties 😍😍😍

[GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal]

Kittens have gone.

Big ginger beast (Casper) has decided it's safe to come out from under the table.

[Windyatthebeach]

Sadly we didn't. He had been missing before and managed to get back home 10 days after a rta and needed a leg amputated. He was quite a character. Like the Felix dcat off the advert.
Showing my age but he was named Jona after Lance's fish in Neighbours many many moons ago!!

[GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal]

That has made my lock down.

I hope they come and visit again!

[Windyatthebeach]

Op that's isn't a dcat THAT'S A TIGER!!

[fishonabicycle]

Brave Caspar!

[Troels]

Maybe they are his kids and were having visitation.

[bellinisurge]

Casper had it sorted. He was just letting them think they were in new territory that was up for grabs.

[Windyatthebeach]

IsTHE TIGER neutered? Maybe expect a letter from Cms (cats maintenence services)?

[DamnYankee]

It's the little things, isn't it?

[GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal]

He came from a rescue, Windy, so was neutered before he came to us.

DD has now restarted her campaign for "a kitten of my very own." I wouldn't mind at all but DH is not a cat person and only agreed to the one we have because I told him it was a cat or a third child.

Casper does not help our case, as he's a grumpy bugger. As DD puts it "he's a big fluffy ball of bites and scratches"!

Actually maybe he is a tiger...

[TheHighestSardine]

What lovely colours the visitors are!

And what an astonishingly big lad you have there! Does the ground shake?

[GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal]

We think he may be at least part Maine Coon. I don't know about the ground, but he's taught us all never to close doors, or he throws himself against them and I fear for the hinges.

He's not over fed - unless he has another home, which is possible but unlikely as he rarely leaves our house and garden. He's uninterested in cat treats and people food, and gets 3 carefully weighed portions of dry food a day. We do have a theory that if he ever got soaking wet he'd be half the size.

I did once hear one of the neighbour's shriek "bloody hell, next door have got a lynx!!" when he emerged through their fence for the first time. 🐯

Love the kitties - and your cat is gorgeous!

One day we went out and found three tortoises in the garden. They had climbed over a FIVE FOOT FENCE - goodness knows how they weren't hurt! My son was very disappointed that we had to give them back.

[GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal]

Tortoises?? I knew they could climb but five foot must've taken ages! And why three at once? Did you foil some sort of tortoise Great Escape?

[LaurieFairyCake]

Where the fuck were the tortoises going ?!?

[homemadecommunistrussia]

Casper is a beast!
Why do I always have tiny runty kitties?

[Fluffycloudland77]

One looks a bit young to be out.

[GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal]

I thought they were both a bit young to be out tbh, hence why I initially hoped wondered if they might be strays.

[Fluffycloudland77]

Well they might still be. Who lets young kittens out fgs.

[CazzaCat]

They look really young, which means they probably aren’t spayed/neutered so there’ll probably be more kittens in your garden by September!
