My girl is having her kittens! First one is here squeaking and healthy!

Second is imminent.

I think she’ll have 4 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Lovely photos as usual. The black ones have amazing eyes and the other two must be Scrump and Tostada?

Beautiful ❤

Just worked out the babies must be 5 weeks old today! 13 November seems so long ago.
Hope you will have time to post more cute photos as Christmas approaches, OP.

They are! They are out and about now and have the sweetest little shaky legs. They make every day lovely ❤️

Oh my gosh, they're sooooo cute!!
Look at the curiosity and playfulness in their eyes ❤️

Sorry what, please can you provide evidence that the RSPCA and other organisations are terrible for animal welfare because that’s quite a bold statement? In what way are they terrible?

The RSPCA seem to be far more concerned with prosecuting animal abusers than actually taking care of and rehoming the animals they have removed from abusers. This makes them behave more like gatekeepers than animal shelters. It's similar to how GP receptionists can be. You ring up, you talk to the receptionist and if you're unlucky, the receptionist will do their level best to make sure you can't see a GP because your problem just isn't considered enough to warrant talking to the GP.

A: "Oh you want to adopt this bundle of joy? They don't like kids or other animals. And if you rent, you're not allowed anyway."

B: "But aren't you overrun with kittens and puppies?"

A: "I'm not telling you twice."

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.

They are so sweet

Beeinalily · 15/12/2025 21:52

So gorgeous, thank you OP for sharing their story. If anyone here is on X I recommend following Malcolm the cat and Baby dog - it's quite a tale (and several tails!)

Scrump looks like Phantom of the opera!

Omg he really does!!

They are absolute chaos.

Oh they’re proper little cats now! The markings on the little one on the right are gorgeous.

Daleksatemyshed · 15/12/2025 21:25

They are so lovely, I want a kitten but my cat would go mad

Kittenwatch · 15/12/2025 21:17

@justthecat they are actually jumping and pouncing now. I am obsessed.

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 15/12/2025 21:13

Stunning!
I will get myself registered as a cat fosterer, if I can. Sadly DH is allergic, so I’ll have to wait for him to pop his clogs or get fed up and leave me! 🤣

Look at my little flooferellas!

Thanks so much. I usually use my phone for Mumsnet so didn’t realise this was possible. I’ve just looked at the little kitties again and my Wilfred is sitting next to me staring at them 😆

@Growlybear83 your question has been answered above but I would just add the detail of clicking the arrow to see the pictures:

They are getting more beautiful by the day. I love Tostada’s little face!

@Pudmyboy I never realised you could see a thread gallery - would you mind telling me how to find it?

Under the original post you'll see thread gallery and it's currently at 54 photos. click on the first photo and you can just view any photos that have been uploaded. Includes everything that's been uploaded so as well as 40+ photos of kittens there's also an unpleasant newspaper article and some lambs (viewing on a tablet so it could be different on other media).
