Pinot, forgive me if I'm being presumptuous, but I wonder if a bit of cold, hard cash would help you and the kittens? I saw another poster days ago offer some feed, and mention of vet bills... have you a paypal address?

DP and I are home from holiday and squeeeing loudly over the kitties and their baby blue eyes. Too much cute for one thread. You're doing such a great job with these little cuties, Pinot!

Our own very pregnant cat is lying between us purring loudly. She's got just a few more days left so tomorrow I'm going to put together a bed for her and hope she likes it.

You are welcome Pinot, I am a compulsive googler I will look for any info you need, if it helps you with your wee kittens then that is all that matters!!!

Pinot I hope the weight gain slowing is okay, I had a look online, saw this which seem sfull of advice, wish I could help, but my experience of trying to hand rear abandoned kittens was not very good, sadly.

It sounds like you are doing everything right with them, keeping them warm.

Ginger is adorable! You are doing so well with them.

Been away for a few days. So sorry to read about Rosie Sad but the other two look gorgeous. Hope they both continue to make progress.

This is the first thread I have checked on today and while out I bought DS2 the Mog and the vet book. Couldn't see any kitten ones that weren't too young for him.

Off to coo over the new photos now. Grin

New pictures are lovely, they are so scrummy. Pinot you are doing a wonderful job. Looking forward to hearing about their antics in a few weeks time when they are tearing around your house!

LaWeasel · 25/04/2011 15:06

Oh Pinot! They're adorable - lost the thread over the weekend.

Our cat also went missing, when he turned up this morning (late) for his breakfast I almost double checked he wasn't pregnant and shiftily planning to give birth in the garden. He is very definately neutered and male though!

Sorry to read about Rosie - the other two are lovely though and doing so well.

SummerRain · 25/04/2011 14:35

OH. So cute, they're growing up so fast!

purpleknittingmum · 25/04/2011 13:34

Oooo lovely photos!

I still have a soft spot for Meow, similar colours to our cat!

new piccies are up

Neither kitten gained weight since yesterday - does anyone know if this is normal? Or OK? I'm guessing it's OK for their weight gain to slow down after a few days but....

Well lovely Mners, I now have a ginger and white fluffball with deep blue eyes gazing at me! squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Scrumptious little darling opened them properly at his 5am feed this morning and I was whispering to him what a clever boy he was and how gorgeous his eyes are when DH suddenly sits up "His eyes are open? Lemme seeeeeeee" Bless my DH, that's why I love him so much!!!! He may pretend to be the sensible one but really he's just as much as a wally as me :) :)

Meow's eyes are a bit teary looking so I think she'll soon be open too. Very exciting!

I'll weight them later and report back :)

sorry to hear of rosie, honestly read this like a book, so emotionally attached now.
Wonderful story

TapselteerieO · 24/04/2011 21:05

Even my dh has asked about them, a first in all the years I have been on mn!
Fingers crossed they keep getting stronger and bigger Pinot.

5inthebed · 24/04/2011 20:59
