I hope they are too! Having spoken to my Grandad he has corrected me! There were three kittens and on the day they were due to go to blue cross for rehoming (GP's had three cats already, these were result of a wildcat) the smallest one dissapeard. Up to this point they were always together. After 3 hours of searching they concluded that she may not come back so Gdad took others to BC. Within 30 mins of returning she appeared! GP's couldn't bare to take her then so she gained the name Lucky! She is living a great and very spoilt life - if she wants the chair or sofa we have to move, etc!!

Looking forward to more pics!

Is this a kitten party? Can I join in?!

My beautiful cat Dora gave birth to four little bundles of squeaky joy last night - in DS's bed, no less! The oldest is a tabby and white girl (I think), second is pure ginger and very loud (it was his squeaks that made me run upstairs and discover Dora in DS's bed, with ginger rolling around looking very confused!), third came another lovely little tabby and white kitten, and last but not least came a lovely black kitten with white socks and (possibly) a white belly.

We are all besotted with them, just as you are with yours Pinot!! So glad mum is around to feed them, I don't know how I'd cope with feeding four!

Really hope Meow and Ginger keep gaining weight and being as adorable as they are in your pics. They're so lucky to have such a devoted two-legged mum like you! Smile

Thanks so much Halos thats lovely.

Summer I was really nervous of leaving them ( I don't leave the kids much anyway let alone the kitties ) but I have to say I did really enjoy being 'me' for a change, not 'Mum'. We saw 'Wicked' and it was brilliant - of course now I think I can sing like the lead character and am screeching around the house like a loon. Poor kitties having to grow up with me Wink Anyway, after a day off I have renewed vigour!

Glad all went well while you were away and you had a lovely day... it was well deserved!

HeadfirstForHalos · 01/05/2011 12:46

Oh my, they are so beautiful! And what a good mummy you are to them :)

RIP poor Rosie, not a good start in life but thank god she had you to look after her, if only for a sort while.

Awwww. Love that stage bet Meow looks adorable. They are going to be fabulous cats. My Grandad hand raised a cat 10 years ago, she is still with him and follows him everywhere! In the morning she will get up with him, follow him to bathroom then into kitchen. Once fed she goes outside for a bit but pops in every hour to check all is ok!

Morning happymole! Apologies - I was in London all day but happy to report my Mum did brilliantly with the kids, dogs, puppy and the kittens and all had a happy day! There was no weight gain yesterday but that's OK for their age (2 weeks old yesterday bless)

So little Meow has taken to trying to walk on all fours rather than the 'swimming' style of crawling about previously used which is so, so cute - she is super wobbly and jiggles from side to side and seems to have to pluck up the courage to move each back leg in turn but she's definitely getting there and is trying hard. Ginger is content to 'swim' as long as he's getting copious amounts of cuddles. His purr is deep now too :)

:) :) :)

Oh God you're right I am being all PFB!! Oh Lordy!! I've already planned how often I can call home to check up on Mum and have made DH drive so we can leave the after party early to get home!

OP posts:
LaWeaselIsOupaLaDouffe · 29/04/2011 22:17

They're your PFB(Kitties!) You're allowed to worry.

You must be knackered from working so hard! I can well imagine getting into the theater and eyes closed as the lights go down...

Jellykat · 29/04/2011 22:16

Oh have a great time though Pinot, you deserve a break.. I'm sure they'll all be okay, especially with the notes!

Good thanks Jelly though today has been all out of sorts with kittens being picked up lots by rellies and needing odd bits of food. Plus twice weeing down my tops So hoping tonight is OK but it's not their fault if not, you know.

My Mum is kitten, dog and grandson sitting tomorrow as DH and I are off to see Wicked in London for my little sisters 21st birthday so I've written pages of notes so everything crossed she'll be OK and they'll be OK. I've been looking forward to it for ages but now I'm nervous and all bothered about leaving them

Jellykat · 29/04/2011 19:38

Hadn't noticed the additional pirouetting DH [cgrin]

Lol I have a son called Harry (who is a ginger! All my boys take after me and are flameheaded gingers) :)

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 29/04/2011 14:06

Pinot, omg they are cute, in a really cute cute way.

Why don't you just go the whole hog and call them WillKat and MeowKat - or you could call ginger Harry!

Keep the piccies coming, I love them!
