3 babies!

My Dad, who has always been a dog person, ended up with a cat a few years ago after he randomly decided they were the perfect people to live with. My Dad done all the right stuff after the cat walked in to their house, had him checked for a chip etc (no chip) Turned out his owners had moved and left him behind, poor baby. Anyway, the poor love had FIV and became really unwell so my Dad had to have him PTS. He wouldn't talk to me for a week because he was so sad.
Anyway, since then he keeps saying 'we're thinking we might get two kittens'
Two weeks ago a post from Celia Hammond popped up on FB and I tagged him in it. A mum and her two babies.
To cut a long story short, he's on his way to pick all three of them up now! Mum is only a year old and the babies are 15 weeks, so he's essentially getting 3 kittens today! If you follow Celia Hammond you will know the cats I'm talking about.
I'm so excited for them! I have two myself and they're the most joyful animals anyone can have ♥️
My Dad has spent a fortune getting everything ready for these beautiful babies and they will have the best life!
Just wanted to share this 😂

Female gingers are so rare! They’re beautiful. Those ears.

Sorry to be late to the party....

Those are gorjuss babies. How are they doing now? My two ladies are Celia Hammond girls and honestly they really are fabulous - take a lot of care of their charges.

Attempting cat tax....

Cheddar gets upset when people think she's a boy! (Though she's technically red)

They are lovely. I'm sure he will enjoy them and they have a good life.

Late to the party but loved this post! How are they all getting on OP? Your dad sounds amazing!

ambu75 · 11/03/2023 08:59

They are all amazing! One of the boys has decided that he just wants cuddles all the time. My Dad was a bit worried about him, he said what do we do? I told him to embrace it, having a cuddly cat is the best thing ever 😂 Their every day routine has changed to accommodate the cats. When I call my Dad for a chat it inevitably turns round to what the babies are up to 😂 they've also given the pair of them (both retired) something to focus on, so it's a win win situation all round. Went to see them a couple of weeks ago, I'll try and add a photo.

Wow better than a Lotto win!
So much gorgeousness! Your df is a very lucky man!

They are so loved. My Dad is obsessed with them. One of the kittens has had an upset stomach and he's already spent nearly £300 trying to get it sorted. Turns out he has a parasite, which is now being treated. Kitten is fine though, eating, playing and gaining weight as expected. He's gone from having an upset stomach to not really going much and my Dad is panicking he might be constipated 😂 we have the best conversations 😁

how in world will he tell them apart when all adults??

I had 3 black cats, fluffy one, short hair one, tuxedo. Neighbours all said they couldn't tell those 3 apart.

Floralnomad · 11/03/2023 13:36

That is an over load of gorgeousness

SammyScrounge · 11/03/2023 13:40

Beautiful, just beautiful. It is lovely that they can stay together.

When I first fostered for a well know animal charity I got 4 orphan black dkittens.. They were all rehomed together.. I got a letter from the dkittens themselves plus lots of photos! Back in 1998 but I often wonder how they got on together as adults..
Think they went to Northumberland somewhere..

I’ve had updates from all 3 of my previous fosters in the past couple of weeks, all of them looking really happy in their new homes - it’s one of the best parts of the job!

They look like trubble to me. Specially the one at the back. I had better come round and supervise.
