Oh god oh god oh god oh god, how could I have missed this thread?? Pinot in the four years I have been on MN this is quite simply the most gorgeous thread I've ever seen, and the pictures are just beyond c.u.t.e.

Though am I the only one to think that when Meow grows up he might possibly look just the teensiest, tiniest bit like one of these

So sorry about little Rosie Sad

They get more beautiful every day, Pinot - you must be such a proud mum!

I'm worried about a local cat at the moment - I've seen him a couple of times crossing the turning circle outside our house, and he has a nasty limp. I did manage to pick him up on monday night, and one of his front paws is all bent over to one side, and he has a wound on the side of his head - dh wondered if he'd been hit a glancing blow by a car - unfortunately he panicked and clawed his way out of my arms (ouch) and escaped over a fence into someone's garden, so we weren't able to get him to a vet.

I think he is a stray, because his fur is very harsh and rough, and because he's been limping since last thursday or before, and if he had any sort of a decent owner, they'd have taken him to a vet as soon as they saw him.

I am just hoping that he turns up again, so I can see if I can catch him - and then I guess I'll have to ring the Cats Protection, to see if they can take him and care for him. It breaks my heart, but we honestly can't afford to pay the vets bills that he is going to need - otherwise I would keep him - he is grey, with fur that looks like velvet from a distance. [csad]

You see Pinot, this is why your thread is so wonderful Smile

To see your 2 doing so well, and being cared for so lovingly, restores ones' faith in humanity, when there are so many cruel idiots about..

I'm sooooo going to be a 'mad' cat lady when i'm older (soon) and i'll throw secret 'stinger spikes' under the wheels of any vehicle, that drives too fast along my 'quiet' country road! .. Mwaahaahaaaaa ...

HRH, love how your cat is sleeping!!

HRH, your cat is beautiful, she looks very regal Smile

I had to rescue my neighbours deaf cat today, bloody tractor driver was presuming kitty would hear him and move out of the way, he wasn't slowing down at all.. until i stepped into the road - then he had to stop.

Bastard! When i pointed out that it was the same spot where my cat was run over, he just said 'you shouldn't live in the countryside then' Hmm
Work that one out..Talk about one solitary brain cell! Hope he only grows crops, and doesn't have any animals.

Apologies.. just needed a tiny rant.. As you were ladies..

HRH,I agree - lovely dress!

Aww Pinot, they are so so so adorable drinking out their tiny bottles.

Glad Meow has put on weight :)

HRHCaveMum · 27/04/2011 20:17

Ta! She's ver, ver pretty [cgrin]

I'll let you into a secret, the dress was an EBay purchase, i.e cheap! But shh, don't tell everyone [cwink]

Pinot · 27/04/2011 20:13

Oh HRH she's so dinky! And such a glossy coat!

She's proper lovely - hope Meow turns out as pretty (and Ginger as handsome)

I thought it was only MY cat that slept with her paws over her eyes!!!

fridakahlo · 27/04/2011 20:05

I was getting a bit worried as I was having trouble accessing the pictures but it worked and they are still as adorable as ever! Keep up the good work mummycat (but reallly a human) pinot!

Pinot · 27/04/2011 20:03

trilpot lol at baby rice! I hear the weaning stage is super messy for kits so am enjoying the bottle stage while it lasts!!

watford thanks - Ginger does a disgusted 'sqwaa' noise to go with his indignant get-off-my-butt look Grin

Pinot, they look so cute, I actually awwed out loud -and there's no one in the room!! Love Meow eating and Ginger's look could stop traffic. Keep going girl [cgrin]

HRHCaveMum · 27/04/2011 19:58

Pinot: Her Ladyship (also known as Molly) is nearly 5 years old (it's her birthday next week [cgrin]). We've had her since she was 9 weeks old (from RSPCA along with her brother, RIP). She is black with white paws, a white belly and a little white smudge on her top lip that looks like a moustache! There is a photo of her on my profile [proud mum]

tribpot · 27/04/2011 19:57

Pinot, I love it when my cat sleeps with her paws over her nose, they are so funny. The kits are just doing gorgeously, god knows how you are keeping going with this routine but don't start them on baby rice just yet [cwink]

Just popping in for my daily kitten fix, and Grin at new photos!.. Their little ears make them look like a couple of pixies.

Pinot, you must be knackered, hope you're managing to look after yourself too!

Pinot · 27/04/2011 19:37

Well Meow has having none of it and crawled back onto me (yay!) and is now finally asleep on my tummy with her paw covering her eyes.

C.U.T.E.

Thanks CaveMum - ooh how rude, HRHCaveMum! Whats your madams name? And what colour is she? I'm becoming very cat obsessed!!

Ginger is asleep in his bed, Meow is refusing to go to sleep and keeps twirling onto her back for more and more tummy rubs. I've done it, DH has done it and now DS1 is rubbing her. Every time his hand stops, she meows and twirls! The girl is a diva in her tummy tickle demands [cgrin]
