When our hand reaered kitty was ready for food he refused point blank to eat it....a few days later he was seen tucking into a plate of left-over fish from teh chippy which had been left unattended for 5 minutes

CaveMum I wondered where you'd been! Glad to see you again (and your purdy cat in your profile :) )

Funsized that is bad news. Bad news. Can you deny DP sex until he gives in and you get your kittie? Grin

The rest of you lovely lot I'm so chuffed you like the piccies! I've been and bought kitten food and litter - though Ginger wasn't intererested in eating the food, he gave it a good sniff. The dogs, however, were circling me!!

Going to try again in a couple of days. Even the Whiskas Kitten box is cute

OTheHugeManatee · 04/05/2011 17:46

So does this mean you're doing KLW then, Pinot? Grin

BornThisWayBaby · 04/05/2011 17:48

they are beautiful!

Pinot · 04/05/2011 17:49

Whats KLW?

Is it really obvious and I'm a doofus? Confused

Absolutely Gorgeous new piccy of Ginger, Pinot Grin

CestTout · 04/05/2011 21:26

Oh wow! Love, love, love the new picture!!

watfordmummy · 04/05/2011 21:34

Pinot, Ginger looking good, too good in my opinion!!! Feel they are my virtual kittens, loving this. Grin

Pinot · 04/05/2011 21:41

Hee hee Grin thanks all! I just wish you could all cuddle him in RL as well as cyber-cuddles!

My aim tomorrow is to get a super-close-up of Meow (and to make it big on my profile). She really is a little love. So far, personality wise, Ginger is a cute little pickle in that he's awake more often and plays with my hair/fingers/mouth whereas Meow is more chilled and settled and is more content having a tummy rub and occasionally stretching her legs at me.

Ginger has spent all evening asleep on my chest, all tucked into my PJ top whilst DH watched the boring football. Love love love!

Shes doing well thankyou - I think they'll be here in a week max! I can feel bulges now! Grin

Marlinspike · 05/05/2011 00:33

I love your super big pic of Ginger - he looks so lovely and clean and new!
I always have a quick look on your profile each day to see if you've posted any new pics.

Ginger's markings look just like a cat we had when I was a girl - Oscar was his name.

Pinot · 05/05/2011 09:37

I'm so pleased that at 19 days old the kittens have both trebled their birth weights!

Meow has gone from 120g to 380g and Ginger has gone from 150g to 450g

Promise more pics later when they wake up :)

LOVE the notion of KLW.
LOVE your new pics.
LOVE that you're doing such a fab thing and sharing it with your Kitten Kommittee!

Pinot · 05/05/2011 12:29

Kitten Kommitte Grin

Adorable!

Oh I so want a little kitten. My two hulking boy cats would make it's life a misery though as they are so rough with their play fighting.

Bucharest · 05/05/2011 12:41

Oh my sweet lord. I have never gone for a ginge in my life, but am so feeling the love for one now.

They are a-maz-ing.

Went to look at a (bigger) house the other day.....and I did think of kitten space when dp was harumping about storage space and cupboards to put his spanners in.

Pinot · 05/05/2011 12:46

Yay for gingers! I am a human one and have 3 ginger sons so Ginger the kittie fits right in - seriously, we may have to paint him when he's older so we can actually find him, such is the orangey glare in this house Grin

OTheHugeManatee · 05/05/2011 12:49

It's amazing if you scroll through all the photos you've posted, to see just how much they've changed in less than 3 weeks. You're doing an amazing job, Pinot.

HazeltheMcWitch · 05/05/2011 12:53

Yes, Pinot, maybe it is MEOW that you'll have to paint, so he feel like he belongs?
Perhaps you could dye his white bits ginger, so he is ginger and black.

OMG those new pics are so lovely.
