New fosters - mum and ickle kitten (with pics)!

[GingerHanna]

Picked up new fosters this morning. Mama is the sweetest and most friendly cat I could ever imagine.

Kitten is seven days old. Eyes not yet open. Lost it's sibling sadly but seems to be doing well.

More pics!

Aww it's wearing socks!
Mums got beautiful markings too

So sweet. Mum is beautiful, but she looks very young.

They're both adorable.

Mum looks tiny, poor love. But they are both so gorgeous. I bet they are adopted quickly, hopefully together!

Aw, I love it when they still have their ears folded! Mum is very pretty.

The mum looks like a kitten herself! They are gorgeous.

Ginger what a lovely thing you're doing. They are so sweet.

They are just gorgeous.

You do know that we expect daily picture updates now right?

Not sure on mama's age but yes, very young. Maybe a year.

There will be lots of pictures. I am a kitty picture whore!

Mama is exceptionally friendly and purrs up a storm as soon as you start scratching her head.

She just did the lost enormous poo, human sized, so I guess she is happy here. Shame she went to the corner diagonally opposite the litter tray. There are now two trays.

Awwww gorgeous! My babycat has the same sort of colours as the mum - beautiful! And the kitten is super cute - when do you work out what sex it is?

Beautiful. Poor mum does look young.

Today's instalment. Mama is getting bolder and demanding of cuddles. Also very playful! Kitten still not opened her eyes so guessing she is a day or so younger than thought as they are meant to open their eyes at seven or eight days I believe.

Loving this thread!

Shameless place marking - they are SOOOOOOOOO beautiful

I think I've got something in my eye. There's nothing more beautiful than to see animals with their Babies.

Does mummy let you give her kitten a cuddle or is she a bit weary

Oh, so lovely! Love the one where they are sleeping cuddled up together. So adorable. What a nice thing you are doing giving them a home

Mama is more than happy for me to pick her kitten up and give her a cuddle. She's so relaxed and trusting it's incredible.

She hadn't her mamaoth wee to match her previous mammoth poo yesterday evening. Fortunately I was there and had just spent some time getting her head around the litter tray so it was contained. She must have felt so much better after that, poor thing!

Met me at the door of the room this morning for breakfast. Definitely getting bolder. Will try for more pics before I go to work.

Today's instalment.

Beautiful. I rescued an 8 month old who'd had kittens. She's now 5 and the friendliest, most human loving, most relaxed lazy chubber kitty you could meet. Mum will be a lovely pet to someone.

The best cat I ever owned (bar my soppy old boy I've got now) was also a young mummy I adopted, also around 8-9 months of age. I think she was so grateful to be done with the child-rearing and to get a home of her own!

Mama looks much younger than a year, more like seven or eight months. Kitten eyes open at about ten days, I thought. She is lovely and cutest little baby.

I think you might be right, on both counts Catch.

Jodie's ears are turning up - and they are white on the inside! She also has a very few white hairs on the very tip of her tail so will be interesting to see if that develops.

Quick pic before bed. Both snoozing after both having dinner. Mama is a real playful thing so getting some more toys as most went with the last batch of fosters.
