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

[Pinot]

Yes yes - I'll do some now

OTHM - pics are up They've become obsessed with shoes atm :)

They are sooo gorgeous, pinot.

Will you start a new kitten thread when this one is full?

Really gorgeous photos.

Sat with FabCat next to be wagging her tail. I remember when she was that small......

ada07 we're over the thread limit already so I think MNHQ are keeping this one open :)

I have a cute one of Ginger in a (empty) cereal bowl but can't upload it yet as they're both curled up on me

they're almost all grown up now

How do I stop them biting wires/leads??? They have a plethora of toys...but the TV/PS leads are their favourite thing to bite. Not good!!

Lovely new pics!

Anything they do that you don't want them to, pick them up, move them away from the wires, say 'NO' really firmly and put them down. Don't cuddle them and then put them, resist cuddles when they're doing something they shouldn't or they'll just get confused. This worked with my kitten when he was jumping onto kitchen worksurfaces, admittedly he was a few weeks older though.

Pinot Tell the truth you're feeding them Miracle Grow aren't you

A tip for wires that i have used with puppies is get a piece of garden hose, split down the side and put them in there. Not the most attractive look but having lost cables in the past it does protect them and naughty kittens from electric shock.

Good tips thank you both :)

arf to Miracle Gro! Ginger is alot bigger than his sister - maybe I should check the shed

The large sized pics are just too cute!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Pinot

Luvverly new pics, my two love playing with shoes, chewing laces and hiding soggy toys in dh's boots

Surely it's about time they had their own Facebook page....or are they not old enough yet?

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

If they are not old enough for a Facebook account of their very own, they are certainly old enough for Catbook.

Another way to discourage them from doing things you don't want them to do is a loud sharp hand-clap. You can accompany it with a loud hiss if you like (my dad was a master of the hiss!). Saves you running across the room to pull them off something, cuts down on temptation to cuddle, doesn't hurt.

lovely new pics

They look so busy and determined suddenly. Watch out perfectly ordered house!

More pics are up they are looking very grown up indeed :) :(

Oh such lovely pics, love the cereal bowl pic and they are so grown up now esp the pic of them both with Ruby.

Gorgeous pictures .

I almost kidnapped a kitten from the pet farm today. ds2 was a willing accomplice too, he spent over and hour mooching around after a cat and her three kittens and fed them his brioche One of the kittens was a tortoiseshell and was so cute and friendly I almost popped her in my handbag... I blame you Pinot!

I honestly think dp would move out if I turned up with any more cats though.... I'll have to make do with kitten cuteness online

Ginger in the cereal bowl is hilarious... they look so cute with your dog

Summer but what if a kitten just turned up on your doorstep one day all homeless and mewing? Could you trust your DS to collaborate and say 'yes daddy the kitten was just there when we opened the door?'

ds2 is non verbal so no worries there.

The other two blabbermouths would need to be out of the house as they can't keep secrets but they're both school age so that's 5 days a week.

And on at least [counts fingers] 7 occasions cats/kittens have simply appeared on my doorstep (my mother reckons they can smell a sucker a mile off and know which doorstep to park their arses on)
