Adorable.

I am looking forward to having kittens but hopefully not for a long while yet.

5 new photos are up

Best ones I could upload - the others have too many pixels for MN (or something) (can you tell I'm not techy?!)

I want pictures of kitties with teddies

Aloha! Another name change

I've got more pics I can upload later on when I get my lazy arse downstairs :)

Well, the babies are 11 weeks old now and to celebrate this I bought them a little kitten collar each in PetsAtHome yesterday - Meows is a little big as she's a diddy one, but Ginger fits his and they both look scrumptious! Scrumptious I tell ya!

They've graduated to a full size litter box as they were flinging litter out of the kitten litter box with abandon Hmm and, yeah, all sweet and lovely.

They're now allowed free access to everywhere in the house and their favourite place to hide/sleep is in the soft toy tidy net thingy in DS3's room. It's a series of net cylinders all strung together and hung from the ceiling. They climb right up to the highest pod and crawl in amongst the teddies and snooooooze :) :) Pics to follow!

Hey Summer have you found your boy yet? :(

I think they'll have to stay with the same names - it's been a long and testing 10 weeks. I call them chick and chunk half the time already Grin

Hope everythings ok Pinot.

Glad to hear Meow is back on form..... are they staying Meow and Ginger as big cats or are they getting new names now they're all grown up?

ExitPursuedByAKitten · 26/06/2011 16:52

Glad to have you back Pinot, and glad to hear that Meow C is back on form.

Sorry chaps have been absent for a while (hospital stay) but pleased to report Meow is back ruling the roost and is lovely and healthy :) :) She's still alot smaller than Ginger but he's a chunk according to the vet, so all is good.

Ruby is great with them, as is the cavvy too, the only problem is that Rubes is very gangly and tries to cuddle up next to them on the sofa and it all ends up in a ball of fur and squeaking Grin

I've just been admiring the photos all over again. Especially the ones with Ruby, she looks like she's so good with them. I hope they're better soon - good luck...

CestTout · 21/06/2011 12:32

Back again! Wow - love the picture of all your babies! Meow and Ginger are fine looking cats :)

TheOriginalFAB · 20/06/2011 17:50

How is he now?

Mine is looking old.

Ginger is still "corked"! I'm hoping he holds it in until a minute past midnight, then Fathers Day is over and DH can deal with it Grin

OP posts:
ExitPursuedByAKitten · 19/06/2011 14:16

Phew - what relief.

Get them trained to poo outside as soon as possible!

SummerRain · 19/06/2011 13:47

And you'd think there'd be less poo to deal with as they get older wouldn't you? Sadly not the case.... if anything it gets worse as grown up cat poo is infinitely more horrendous to clean off the floor at 7am just because somebody doesn't feel the litter tray is meeting her standards of cleanliness Hmm

Hope they're both back to normal soon poor loves.

BornSicky · 19/06/2011 11:25

they are beyond cute! can't believe how much they've grown.

hope they both feel better soon.

Rusty! :)

The kittens have got him socks that say "Best Dad". How original Grin

As I was typing the last post the boys were calling for me - yup, the kittens have got upset tummies. Meow had wet pooed all over the litter tray, and a bit on Gingers ear, and Ginger keeps going into the (now cleaned) box and frantically scooting litter everywhere then crouching and straining. GOD HELP ME when he finally lets rip. If Meow can squirt poo after virtually no food, I shudder at what awaits me with the Ginger one.

Glad it's just a normal reaction & hope she's back to here old self soon.

Pinot · 19/06/2011 11:03

I'm here! She's much much better today - eaten, pooed, even ran this morning. She still feels reallllly skinny from starving herself yesterday but theres been no temperature so all is OK now :)

ExitPursuedByAKitten · 19/06/2011 11:00

Wail - logged on hoping for good news but no update. Hope Meow Catherine is feeling much better and that Ginger is not giving her too much of a hard time.

Yes, he says a reaction is normal, she's just got it badly. Not an allergic reaction, thank god, as that would have come up within 2 hrs.
