Please meet Holly and Dave(Lister) my two new ferally foster kittens, they are 8 weeks old and staying with me to tame them up and get them to trust people, they are a bit hissy and scared but i think they will tame up quite quickly

They're lovely issey. Good luck with them. So how many felines are in your house at the moment?

What beautiful kittens!

MummyBeerest · 14/08/2014 01:55

Awww! Lovely!

Aw and you didn't need reminding to post pics

cozietoesie · 14/08/2014 08:22

They do look a bit tense but I'm sure that they'll end up as little cuddle monsters after a few weeks with you, Issey. Has the rescue got their mother as well?

JuniperTisane · 14/08/2014 08:26

They are lovely. Which is which?

cozietoesie · 14/08/2014 08:33

I'm guessing thath Holly is the little tortie mix at the back?

Fluffycloudland77 · 14/08/2014 08:35

Holly looks scared bless her.

Scarletohello · 14/08/2014 11:22

catneuterer this makes 7 (ooer) yes holly is the torie and they are quite scared but hopefully the full on cuddle treatment from myself and various family mamebers including my grandaughter who loves kittens will work, no mom all i know is they were at the back of a pub and needed trapping as no one could get close enough to pick them up, they are relaxing a bit more today but still a bit hissy lol

giles rimmer and kryton are their brothers who are both ginger and they are in a pair with another foster parent as it works better taming them in ones or twos

I'm just imagining them acting like "The Cat" with his bottles of perfume "This is mine, that's mine, it's all mine ......"

OOoh cute can I have one? We have SF cats here anyway (the real names of our pair are from a couple of pretty well-known shows) so it'd be lovely to have a little ginger Red Dwarf kitten.

not that I'm desperate for a ginger kitten to go with tortie and B&W, no...

moonbells if you are really interested they are being fostered by me for yorkshire cat rescue details on their website, holly the tortie purred during cuddle time this morning so they are getting nearer to that corner where they become kittens like the ones that have been socialised beforehand

Issey I think I live too far away from you I'm afraid! Wouldn't want to subject nervous kittens to such a long trip. It'd be scared out of its tiny. But I can dream...

Wanders off to find the mad Moonkitten and see if he'll tolerate some more combing, the little fleabag! What is it with this year and fleas?
