I've been rationing myself on kitty photos, so as not to get toooo broody, but was tempted back just now - they are absolutely gorgeous, Pinot - you are a wonderful mama.

Hey lovely kitty Aunties, Ginger made us all very proud this afternoon as he did his first wee in the potty litter tray :) :) A big'un too! His ears went flat as he was concentrating Grin

Still no interest in actual kitten food though - warm milk is still the order of the day!

Lovely adorable photos.

Can I be an honourary auntie as my cat might leave us soon?

OTheHugeManatee · 17/05/2011 11:29

Oh I luff catching up on this thread.

I had my ds's birthday party too this weekend Pinot, so haven't had a chance to get on here.

It makes me feel all warm seeing the kittens (just been looking at photos of my ds as a baby too, so I am feeling a little weepy seeing my baby growing up!)

Ginger's big tummy is brilliant, and I am glad to see they are using the scratching post instead of you.

midnightservant · 16/05/2011 22:14

And oh the fun when they first see themselves in a mirror...

5inthebed · 16/05/2011 20:18

Or lordy lordy. I can't breathe for the cuteness!

Adorable, just adorable.

SecretNutellaFix · 16/05/2011 20:13

Bugger!Grin

They are so cute when they follow objects on a screen. My girl tries to see why she can't reach it- used to walk around the TV and then look puzzled.

Grin Secret!! Not on your nelly Wink Their eyes are lightening up - Ginger is quite baby blue now, Meow is a bit darker. They still go all squwiff and squinty when they try to focus on very near objects - but Ginger was definitely watching the TV this afternoon - his head was following the action. B to the L to the ESS!

Pinot, what's your address? I am coming to get myself 2 kittensWinkGrin

they are extremely cute and will rule the dog quite easily. Do you think their eyes are changing colour at all?

ClaireDeLoon · 16/05/2011 19:58

Oh look at them being proper grown up with a scratching post and everything. Adorable!

TrillianAstra · 16/05/2011 19:55

Oh they're proper kittens now! :o

GetOrfMoiCase · 16/05/2011 19:46

oh pinot those pictures are absolutely adorable. They are beautiful little kits. Me and my dd love the pics. Smile

It is so lovely to go through all the pics from when they were tiny babies to what they look like now - healthy, happy kittens. It really is wonderful what you are doing.

I am going to get 2 kittens in 5 weeks Smile. Funnily enough one is ginger, and the other one os black and white. I can't wait

Northernlurker · 16/05/2011 19:46

Oh look at those little cats!

Cheers Stinky. Ooh that sounds wrong but you know what I mean Grin

I was told that if a puppy 'bites' you (playful mouthing) you should yelp like a puppy in pain, so that it gets the message that it hurts you, so maybe with cats you should make an injured meow sound? A complete guess!
Or if they insist on playing with your hands instead of toys maybe get some medium weight gardening gloves (if that doesn't just encourage further hand biting?).
You're doing so well - when I got my two they were about 14 weeks and even then I remember being terrifed about how tiny and fragile they seemed!

OK! Mission "do-not-get-clawed-to-shreds" is a go! Have been out and bought them two scratching post things and some buzzy mouse toys...hoping they can use those instead of me. DH told me this morning I look like I self-harm, such is the amount of scratches on my wrists/arms Hmm Tis a good job I'm rock hard eh?

Mom cats bugger off when they get annoyed at the fighting. Usually to somewhere the kittens can't reach.

Putting them down or moving away when they're too rough is the best approach
