I rather like Malcolm

[aristocat]

just read your thread with my cat purring loudly on my lap ..... you are doing superb pinot and please post some pictures

[LaWeasel]

Do you know what sex the kittens are?

I wanted to name our cat Lafayette, but was not allowed.

[SummerRain]

ime cats nearly always have a 'kitten name' that they're referred to when tiny and usually no one has a clue about the sex and then they get a grown up name when they're bigger/rehomed to their permanent family.

So you can call tiny kittens all sorts of ridiculous names that a cat would never fit.... we've had Scruffy, Squeky, Slash, Gizmo, Whiteface, Little Black Cat and loads of other daft names.

Mom definitely needs a proper name though.

[MrsChemist]

One must be called Commodore Fluffypaws

[Northernlurker]

I met a cat recently called Barton - very cool I thought!

[CherryMonster]

Laweasel- Lafayette is indeed a cool name for a cat. i dont have a cat, but if i did it would be called this.

[Pinot]

Have tried and failed 5 times to load a pic. How vair frustrating! Kitty is a lil girly, not sure about the others, trying to avoid human smell and all that.

at Commodore Fluffypaws :)

There was once a cat on the news (one of those feelgood stories about a cat commuting on a bus or something) and it was called Seargent Podge. A BRILLIANT name for a cate I always thought. But difficult to name a kitten that as you don't know what it will look like when its a bit older

Well done for looking after the cat&kittens, though you do realise that your sons will probably never let you give them away now!

[SomethingSuper]

I'd love to find a cat and kittens, it's the only way DH would accept another cat in the house. I've been tempted to just go and one from a rescue place and pretend I've found it on the side of the road

[Pinot]

FINALLY!! Photo uploaded - its a bit dark but you cant see her if I use flash. Next to a sky remote for scale :)

[LaWeasel]

She's so tiny and adorable!

I also feel strongly she should be named fuzzyface.

Is there one that looks like a lafayette to fulfil mine and cherry's cool cat name wish?

[SomethingSuper]

Oh how lovely, those cats are so lucky that they chose your garden

[Pinot]

There is one white one with black dots like a dalmation, and a white one with ginger splodges...would lafayette be a dotty or a ginge?!

[LaWeasel]

hmm, ginger I think!

[MmeSurvivedLent]

Oh, how adorable.

[watfordmummy]

so so cute! we got our two (went for one from rehoming centre and was told they came in twos!) from a rehoming place.

[MigratingCoconuts]

I'm a little about the kittens!

I have my old girl who has been with me for 16 years after the neighbours 'tomcat' got pregnant and gave birth whilst they were away for a week on holiday.

[JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar]

Well mum has to be Cindy, surely?

[Northernlurker]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!



Yes very nice.

Have you rung CPL again? The mum is going to need spaying asap or she will be up the duff again.

[onadietcokebreak]

Keep up the good work. So pleased you have managed to get her inside

[pranma]

She is gorgeous how about Thando [tando pr] it means black and white in Xhosa I was told.

[MigratingCoconuts]

just seen the photo..bless!

[Pinot]

northern you made me laugh out loud!!

I think I'm in danger of exploding via cuteness overload - if she wasn't cute enough, she is now asleep in the crook of my neck, nuzzled into my ear.

Oh - and purring.....

:)

[Northernlurker]

Sounds like she's doing well. I wonder why mum dumped her then? Did the vet give her a clean bill of health as far as he/she could see?
Is it possible that mum felt she couldn't feed anymore than two?
