Ooh Nun I love it when a lurker posts! Makes me ver' happy :)

I'm down to only 3 milk feeds a day now - brekkie, bedtime and one in the middle at some point - all the rest is whiskas kitten food. I am really gonna miss the bottle feeding I must say!

Awwwwwwwww! There's only one thing I get more gooey over than a kitten photo and that's a photo of TWO KITTENS CUDDLED UP TO A DOG! Absolutely completely adorable..
Well done you, they look like extremely content purry kittens indeed!

Home for a half a day before dashing off to a wedding and had to log on to see how the kitties are doing. Gorgeous new pics Pinot! DD found an old album of mine this morning that had photos of my two (now both deceased) when I first got them and it made me all sad. Happy memories.

Meow and Ginger look bloody fabulous - you have done such a fantastic job. Will read rest of thread when I return.

My cat is a tortoiseshell and not spoilt at all...

ClaireDeLoon · 01/06/2011 17:17

That's what I say Summer - if it is homeless and in need I will take it, but much as I would LOVE to have a fluffy kitten baby I know that the dynamic of my two boys together works well for them (one is very highly strung and stressy, I'm not being massively precious!) and don't want to affect that.

But if a cat in need came knocking or I heard of an oldie that was facing living out is life in a cattery rather than a family home I would do it.

SummerRain · 01/06/2011 16:56

The last time I fell in love with a kitten it was a little grey tabby that was born feral and a woman I know from a rescue forum was re-homing.

I showed the kids her picture and then asked dp in front of them if we could take her Blush

We had 5 cats already Blush

He forgave me after the first snuggle he had with her though, he's a bigger softie than me really Grin

I'd really love to take the tortoiseshell but all my cats are older now (when we got Tess there were two kittens of similar age in the house anyway) and I don't know if it would be fair on the kitten.... fair enough if it was homeless and I had to take it but it's not and I don't Sad

Ha Summer you're so naughty! I luff it!

SummerRain · 01/06/2011 16:38

ds2 is non verbal so no worries there.

The other two blabbermouths would need to be out of the house as they can't keep secrets but they're both school age so that's 5 days a week.

And on at least [counts fingers] 7 occasions cats/kittens have simply appeared on my doorstep (my mother reckons they can smell a sucker a mile off and know which doorstep to park their arses on)

ClaireDeLoon · 01/06/2011 16:18

Summer but what if a kitten just turned up on your doorstep one day all homeless and mewing? Could you trust your DS to collaborate and say 'yes daddy the kitten was just there when we opened the door?'

SummerRain · 01/06/2011 16:14

I almost kidnapped a kitten from the pet farm today. ds2 was a willing accomplice too, he spent over and hour mooching around after a cat and her three kittens and fed them his brioche HmmGrin One of the kittens was a tortoiseshell and was so cute and friendly I almost popped her in my handbag... I blame you Pinot!

I honestly think dp would move out if I turned up with any more cats though.... I'll have to make do with kitten cuteness online Grin

Ginger in the cereal bowl is hilarious... they look so cute with your dog Grin

TheOriginalFAB · 01/06/2011 15:42

Gorgeous pictures Smile.

ClaireDeLoon · 01/06/2011 15:40

Oh such lovely pics, love the cereal bowl pic and they are so grown up now esp the pic of them both with Ruby.
