I have quietly lurked on the thread but cannot contain myself any longer. That picture of them looking up together. Oh. my. gosh! You know when you're a new mum and feel bad that your baby is way more beautiful than all the others? Well if you're thinking that about these 2 then you are so right!

Those new photos are amazing Pinot, they look so gorgeous and healthy, beautiful, lovely - it must be hard to get anything else done, I would just want to watch them all day.

ExitPursuedByALamb · 12/05/2011 19:13

Oh Jux that is great advice, thank you! Ginger has a smelly enough botty with just milk for heaven knows what he'll be like on solids

Meow, otoh, is a lady

Oh, and I am very very very sure that the loveliness of this thread comes from the support and the warmth of MNers holding my hand in this. I just do the practical stuff!

Just read this thread. It is the loveliest I've ever read on MN. Your kittens and gorgeous; you're amazing, 3 weeks of broken sleep, 2 hr feeds, constant care and attention. Amazing. They are beautiful though aren't they?

I just thought I'd mention kitten food by James Wellbeloved. Mostly, the kitten food you get in the supermarket is OK for kittens from about 8 weeks, but can often play havoc with their tummies until they get used to it; they're generally fine with it at 12 weeks.

We've had 3 kittens in the last 5 years. When we first got each of them, they each found 'normal' kitten food too rich and wound up with diarrhoea and farts to die for - really, really good farts, farts a 12 year old boy would be jealous of!

The Wellbeloved stuff is less demanding for little kitty tummies. You can get over the internet (eg. here), but your friendly Pets at Home probably have it. A bit more expensive I think, but you don't need it for long, just while they get used to having solids in their tums; I don't think we ever used it for longer than two weeks.

OTHM I squeeeeeeeeeeeeee'd on another thread the other day and got a wall of posters doing this Hmm at me Grin Grin

Lamb.... scariest yet was being at my parents house and hearing a scream from ds2 and running round the corner to find one of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=4.bp.blogspot.com/_GeYBSHgvzzM/Sq_tcqn4WDI/AAAAAAAAAzE/vNNX5k4ssc0/s1600/bullmastiff295x266%255B1%255D.jpg&imgrefurl=we-do-write.blogspot.com/2010/06/interview-with-lacey-j-boldyrev.html&usg=__g3qEjJ0oczFzAbs6S3MerAqIo6s=&h=266&w=295&sz=23&hl=en&start=0&sig2=1T58yiXnRF2T2qkdkRktqw&zoom=1&tbnid=Tx-dL9vhEsIaEM:&tbnh=157&tbnw=174&ei=dgnMTbbdHY7PiAL939meBg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbull%2Bmastiff%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4GGLS_enIE403IE403%26biw%3D1659%26bih%3D818%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=511&vpy=111&dur=2266&hovh=212&hovw=236&tx=122&ty=104&page=1&ndsp=31&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these backing him into a corner Shock And my parents really do live in the arse end of nowhere, if there's anywhere you'd expect to be able to let the kids play outdoors safely it's there!

OTheHugeManatee · 12/05/2011 17:24

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I've lot all shame about going squee on this thread Grin

BecauseImWorthIt · 12/05/2011 17:15

Grin Blush

Thank you! I was pretty annoyed actually because it was really uncalled for. However, rather than responding in kind (I was called a 'snobby cow' for information, for the rest of you!), I decided to rise above it. I think it had the desired result. Although it would have been nice to have received an apology Hmm

And I'm very, very honoured to be Aunty BIWI to Ginger and Meow!

TheOriginalFAB · 12/05/2011 17:14

I couldn't find the post.

LaWeasel · 12/05/2011 17:14

Hi all, glad to hear the super cutie's are still doing well...

Summer, Pinot, if you've got time could you pop over to this thread in the cat section? The cat someone picked up from rescue 3 weeks ago is apparently 5 weeks pregnant... pregnant rescue cat

Pinot · 12/05/2011 17:09

Oh no I hope BIWI doesn't mind.

I have a massive guilt complex. Sorry in advance BIWI :(

There was a piece slagging off Mn and GN in the Daily Mail today.

ExitPursuedByALamb · 12/05/2011 16:59

Soooo Cuuuute.

Pinot · 12/05/2011 16:58

They are very squeeeeeeeeee and feel quite chunky - not so fragile iyswim :)

Meows fur is really silky, whereas Ginger is a fluffmonster - funny how they can be so different :)

OP posts:
ClaireDeLoon · 12/05/2011 16:53

Oh they are so big now. But still very squeeeeeee

Pinot · 12/05/2011 16:51

I hope so BIWI Grin Have to say, you are an absolute inspiration in how you handled the thread about gransnet. You were so cool and calm...I'd have freaked out. One day, I want to be as mature as you. Seriously.

So, so, so many threads on MN have nasty comments on them which really saddens and annoys me - well, I just thought that thread was an example of how adults can talk without flinging insults/massive ego's and the other bad bits of MN.

Consider yourself Meow and Gingers MN Auntie Grin
