My girl is having her kittens! First one is here squeaking and healthy! Second is imminent. I think she’ll have 4 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Ah, I’m going to be sad as well, when the kitties go home! Funny story, we rehomed the kittens we were presented with, and of course DS1 was sad. I explained that we couldn't keep them all, kittens are expensive to look after, we’ll just look after their Mummy. There was a thoughtful pause, then he commented, ‘I hope we can afford to keep our baby.’! He was 4 and DS2, the baby in question, about a month.

He changed his tune fairly soon and would happily have rehomed the baby. Hey ho.

I Iove how lateral children’s minds can be. Sweet little bean.

@1reason We are keeping one of the black kits. He’s pure black except for the TINIEST white speck on the end of his tail.

My son picked him and has called him Tostada.

Aww, lovely! Great name Tostada

OP, thanks again for taking us on this kitten journey with you.
If not Scrump, which kitten will you be keeping?

Daleksatemyshed · 13/12/2025 17:31

You’ll be able to visit him. And maybe even be his holiday home?!

Just snapped this beauty plus one of Scrump with my son - they are so wonderful.

The pile of kittens picture could go on a greetings card, it's so cute!
So glad this thread is still going and the kittens are thriving, looking at the Thread Gallery it's lovely to them change from damp little scraps into beautiful fluffy kittens. Mum looks very protective in the latest pic with her in it!

Oh my God, his graphics are fantabulous! What a face.
Can’t you just tell he’s brimful of zip, vim, and general🐾 zoomology?

A friend got a rescue cat, great cat, adored her - cat got ill, took her to the vet, turns out she was really elderly, like a decade older than the rescue had said. Broke my friend's heart.
Got another rescue cat and the same thing happened!
Third time round she bought a kitten.

I’ll tell you something; exPILs kept getting pets cats and rabbits from the local RSPCA shelter because they were wealthy and could meet all the criteria @Peridoteage lists, the pets were always a lot older than they were told (the vet would tell them this) and with undisclosed health problems, the latest one has real social problems. I did ask them to stop getting pets there as it was breaking my children’s hearts. there’s absolutely no way I’d get a cat from that shelter I’d be too scared

Show quote history

The RSPCA and other such organisations are terrible for animal welfare, ironically. My DH's family who had a cat tried to adopt a dog via Dog's Trust and they said 'not suitable for cats', and then also said 'not suitable for kids', my DH was around 13 at the time. So they went to a family that they knew whose dog had just had puppies and they adopted a dog from them.

Scrump is going to be quite a character

I want people to stop breeding cats when rescue centres are full
