Just found a cat and newborn kittens in my garden on a low bench. WWYD??

[Pinot]

I rather like Malcolm

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

Do you know what sex the kittens are?

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

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.

One must be called Commodore Fluffypaws

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

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

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!

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

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

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?

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

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?!

hmm, ginger I think!

Oh, how adorable.

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

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.

Well mum has to be Cindy, surely?

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.

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

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

just seen the photo..bless!

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.....

:)

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?
