We have a new kitten

[Pantone363]

Can't take a pic yet as he's hiding behind the washing basket!

Not our first cat, we have a lovely moggie that some bastard shot with a airgun and we have to have her PTS.

Trying to keep the DC from "just going to check" on him every two minutes

Uh Huh. And can you swear, hand on heart, that you haven't done any checking yourself?

Looking forward to the pictures.

How old is he?

9 weeks

Still v v scared, haven't seen him at all! He's just hiding behind the shoe rack

At 9 weeks I'd be inclined to grab him and cuddle. He's a baby and they need cuddles.

Even if he doesn't realise it.

I'd check on him later this evening though. Maybe chat to him and see if he will come for a cuddle.

You have broken the mumsnet rule of not posting a picture

You're not allowed to say 'new kitten' without the picture

Now fuck off

Definitely place marking for the photo. I love a kitten

Oh, and what's his name?

He's out

Suddenly feeling brave but darting to hide if anyone walks past him!

adorable

What a cuddler.

A little Birman?

Oh how gorgeous!!!!

Oooh! The beauty and sweetness! Well done and welcome.

Yes a little chocolate Birman!

We've always had moggies before, he's so SOFT and fluffy!

Can't wait until he snuggles in the bed

He is gorgeous. Just lovely. He's big for 9 weeks, though, I reckon - that's going to be one sizeable cat.

I know, his sisters were much smaller!

Take him to bed with you tonight. That will sort him.

er NO.

We took him to bed last night and he crapped on the quilt

It was an accident, runny poo. The smell

Lovely kitten.

Too cute!

Has he used his tray normally yet? Poor wee lad's innards could well be all discombobulated with the huge change. (Bed would likely stabilise that.)

Yes lots of wee's no poo yet after last night.

But until earlier he hadn't eaten anything because he wouldn't come out

9 weeks is young to me - and he looks very nervous. I just pull my Siamese boys straight into bed and by the next morning they're soncy as anything.
