Dd found a stray kitten,she doesn't yet know I'm going to pick hers up today at 5pm.

She found the kitten in a box at the bus stop and has watched it for a couple of hours before deciding to take it to the vets. She has got her wormed and flead and bought litter,trays,food and toys. Very proud of dd for being so responsible but do we keep the kitten?would I be unfair not to let her keep this kitten as I've already arranged a surprise kitty for her X

ASBO looks very smug pleased with his new bed.

The only ones mine will entertain are those unattractive radiator hammocks.

Oh yes she has settled in very well thank you.

She has no fear at all and will even sit next to my rough and tumble 14month old. (Who is being surprisingly gentle with her).

She looks like she has been here forever.

Meowing for her dinner and for fuss

Oh how sweet, she must've been so scared being all alone in a box without mum cat.

It's a good job you got two by the sound of it.

Need they really do win hearts over X did your kitten settle in well?

Thank you draenor 4 weeks old,the poor thing. She's very lucky to have you find her!

cescine French username Wink? We've managed to put dd's curtains back up. The nets in the living room are already started to get ripped. After what I've been told,I don't think I want blinds. Me thinks I'm going to have someone over to fit slatted shutters tooEnvy.

fluffy how gorgeous is he! Someone's enjoying their bed.

I can't check but to who suggested a routine because my phone is being attacked by kittens as I type Grin . Was it you fluffy? They both slept through the night. Silhouette stayed in her bed all night and has only just woken up and Missy decided to go into dd's bed in the early hours of the morning but didn't wake her up this timeGrin. Ds has got a special bond with Sil ,he's deffo a kitten lover and since Dd found Missy; she won't stop following her aroundWink

My kitten and grown-up cat who thinks she's a kitten ripped through my nets to the extent that they looked like Miss Haversham's wedding dress, and passers-by were stopping on the pavement and pointing. I was worried about the strings on blinds, so have ordered slatted shutters at huge expense! Can't wait for them to be installed, as it means I'll be able to have the front room windows open without them getting out (busy road, so indoor cats).

Ohhh my God, how beautiful is that picture??
I'm the proud owner of a foundling kitty. Olive was 4 weeks old and I heard her mewing outside in the pissing rain. Ran outside, saw this tiny little thing moving by the roadside. Took her in and had a few weeks of having to nip home at lunchtime from work and syringe feed her. It was absolutely worth it though! Foundling kittens are especially loving, I find! Grin

We got a kitten on Wednesday and she already sleeps all night...but tucked under Dh's chin Grin

Dh who...doesn't like cats yet is happily curled up now with her

Re nigh times : we got a medium dog cage for our cat when she was a kitten and we put her in it every night with a litter tray and a bed. She doesn't mind it - she's 4 now and will happily go in there herself at bedtime. Smile would that work for you?

We've got them both dogs beds so they leave the dog alone Smile. Like you said,all the cat beds seemed too small x

I buy ours dog beds, cat beds are too small and not as well padded.

On YouTube there's lots of videos sleeping in the dogs bed while the poor dog shivers on the floor.

Thank you all , we have gone round kitty proofing the house. They are both girls . Silhouette has been shortene down to Sil already as its a bit of a mouthful but ds wanted to call her that Hmm. Dd choose Missy for the kitten she rescued because she has a tiny bit of white fur above her mouth and she thinks it's like a moustache Grin

That half of 'something else' may make all the difference.

If he were a full Siamese, I'd be guessing that you were an 'OK to be going on with' family member but that his 'real person' was in fact your mother. (And watching with interest what happened if, for example, she stayed the night.)

As a halfer, though - Who can tell? Smile
