Only been back 45 minutes. Kitten 1 already asleep on ds2 and kitten 2 still exploring. Grown up cats scratching at living room door.

Gorgeous, my old Battersea girl is on my lap purring.

LittleCandle · 12/04/2018 17:04

Oh they are gorgeous! I so want a kitten (or even an older cat!) but it isn't practical right now.

Vinorosso74 · 12/04/2018 17:06

Gorgeous! The one on the floor has some big paws to grow into.

Toddlerteaplease · 12/04/2018 18:20

Gorgeous! The one on the floor already has you under control. (Love your lava lamp)

Toddlerteaplease · 12/04/2018 18:20

Those paws are huge!

Want2beme · 12/04/2018 19:15

They are so lovely. Hope they learn to respect their eldersGrin

😻 I’m so looking forward to adopting some cats later this year. Your kittens are just gorgeous.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 12/04/2018 20:00

Hats off to Battersea - just like our last two these two kittens are brilliantly socialised. (Incumbent cats aren't happy - but give them time).
Another gratuitous picture of them both.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Squeeeeeeeeeeeee. What are you going to call them.

Toddlerteaplease · 12/04/2018 23:58

Are they both identical! I've got identical black cats. I've had them nearly 3 years and am still the only one who can tell them apart, good luck!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/04/2018 00:10

I love their little triangly ears. Grin

SimonBridges · 13/04/2018 00:12

LOOK AT THE TINY BABY PUSS CATS!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/04/2018 06:24

Named Karl and Lenny by Battersea. Intended to change the names but now will probably keep them.

Lenny is a bit smaller than Karl and has quite a few white hairs on his back so we can tell them apart.

Awwwwww they are gorgeous!!! I must not acquire any more cats
Have they slept?? Hope you have lots of fun with them!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/04/2018 08:12

Karl is the most random nsme for a cat, everGrin

Vinorosso74 · 13/04/2018 08:23

I quite like proper human names for cats.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 13/04/2018 10:06

The whole litter was named after characters in the Simpsons (Maggie was a lovely black and white longhair btw) Our older cats are Basil & Sybil (Portrait of Dorian Gray & yes I'm aware the spelling is different but I prefer 'Sybil') so we were thinking of further literary names - possibly Jeoffry and Hodge. Having got the kittens we've decided Karl and Lenny are suitably silly names so we'll stick with them.

They are now tired out after a mad half hour so are in a pile on the back of a chair.

Aren't they adorable. Who's cutting onions

TheLongRider · 13/04/2018 11:59

I think of Fawlty Towers when I hear Basil and Sybil!

The kittens are lovely, I hope they settle well with your older cats.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 13/04/2018 15:37

I thought of Fawlty Towers too!

The newbies are gorgeous!

Toddlerteaplease · 13/04/2018 19:11

I thought of fawlty towers as well. I wish I'd called my two Zomorph and oramorph . (I'm a nurse)

Weedsnseeds1 · 13/04/2018 21:08

They look like a pair of bruisers in the making - love a chunky kitten Grin

DixieFlatline · 14/04/2018 00:17

Absolutely gorgeous little things. I love black cats, especially ones with a little fluff on them!

Rudgie47 · 14/04/2018 15:37

Really cute.
