Jux Oh gosh sorry I think it's because I've shortened my nickname a bit. Try under this new name and let me know would you?

Pinot, I can't access your pix any more; your name isn't underlined for me. Waaaiiiiil! I can't see the kitties.

I keep osing this thread then finding it again.

Meow and Ginger are so big now Pinot! Good luck for tomorrow. make sure you ask them for calpol, incase they get a fever Wink

Marlinspike · 16/06/2011 13:32

Pinot, your babies are all so... colour co-ordinated? Even though Meow is black and white, she sort of tones in with everyone else!

Exit Trude! I remember! Ooh it was awful! Funnily enough though, our vet is scandinavian - though he's a sexy chap called Lars

I keep thinking about Rosie and how sad it is she didn't make it. I find myself wondering what she'd look like now. How can one tiny animal make such an impact in 5 days?! :( Bless her soul. Glad it's not just me who's soppy.

Stewie and Tapsel They're really big and all weaned - even big enough to steal chicken off my plate (well, I say steal - they come up and sit on my lap purring furiously and pawing at my mouth as I eat)

Did you ever watch Vets in Practice when the Scandinavian vet injected a kitten and it went straight through the neck and out the other side Grin?

Hope the kitties aren't too upset (actually, they look as if nothing much upsets them).

ExitPursuedByAKitten · 16/06/2011 12:33

Oh God Pinot what fabulous pics! Had to have a little weep. Crikey how sad am I?

I'd definitely be up for a calendar. (You would have to make sure Rosie was included Sad)

TapselteerieO · 16/06/2011 12:32

Really glad I found this thread again(moved house two weeks ago), the kittens look so gorgeous and healthy Pinot, well done!

SoDiana - you have a kindred spirit in me. I suffer too, much to my chagrin. I am so glad the kittens have worked their magic and held the dark curtain up for a bit. (Can I also recommend Edward Monkton books as a similiarly uplifting experience - he also writes as Giles Andreae but his EM is his pseudonym for positive tales. He suffers too).

Tripper I'm now trying to work out who you used to be!! It's a lovely idea, I'd be happy to 'give' the pictures up for that. I'll venture it to MN nearer Xmas Grin

trib They're huge aren't they?! Ginger climbed up the back of the cupboard yesterday and managed to get into one of the drawers. We found him curled up in the kids art drawer Shock :) Crazy thing!

Cheers Northern Wink

I can't believe how much they've grown!

Northernlurker · 12/06/2011 17:07

What a lovely post sodiana. I do hope your spirits continue to lift. I agree - this is a fantastic story.

ATripperToTheLast · 12/06/2011 17:03

Hi Pinot

I have posted on here under a different nick before. I also keep coming back for a peek. I wonder, whether MN would be interested in making the pics into a calendar for the christmas charity type thread. Just a thought, but I bet loads of the followers would buy it.

SoDiana · 12/06/2011 15:59

I just wanted to thank you for this thread. I've read half yesterday and finished today (I do that with books I don't want to finish, leave the last few pages unread, as I don't want it to end, daft I know).
I have been having a tough couple of weeks and have a history of depression and have been feeling symptoms creep up on me recently. Your thread has honestly lifted my spirits.

The kittens are desperately cute (the little one with the moustache looks like Kitler as someone mentioned), but it's just something about the tone of your posts, the 'mammyness' that comes across and the gentleness and eagerness of the replies which has lifted my spirits and soothed me greatly.
That you nurtured newborn kittens this far by bottle feeding/hand feeding is exceptional. I hope they make you feel proud every day!

SummerRain · 12/06/2011 12:21

SGM.... hooray for daft but lovable cats.

Our roadside rescue daft fool of a cat woke myself and dd up this morning by sitting on the stairs and howling like a little lost kitten because he wanted attention (obviously all the human males managed to sleep through it Hmm)

Still no sign of Petie though, I drove around the area searching yesterday and have been whistling for him so much i've sent next doors husky into a howling frenzy Blush I'm really worried now.

just looked at their pics omg they are delicious!!!! so sweet seeing them 'reverse' in age :) and so sad to see all 3 together :( what a great little memory box you'll have for them :)

superjobeespecs · 11/06/2011 15:59

have just spent the best part of 2 hours reading this and am so glad i did :) i think your wonderful pinot i am totally not a cat person (we have an evil cat instead of guinea pigs at DD and DHs begging request and she hates me) but this made me smile and also glad i joined mumsnet. there is a fair amount of arguing on here iv noticed so its nice to find one place where its all soft and fluffy
< Grin total kitty refference there >

ExitPursuedByAKitten · 11/06/2011 13:16

Well we need a pic of that too please!

Pinot · 11/06/2011 09:51

Me! It's such a wonderful record of them, I'm so proud of them. Even when they wake me at 4am playing chase across the bedroom floor Hmm and are now fast asleep, curled up in the dogs bed whilst the dog is lying next to them.

S.W.E.E.T!
