Haven't posted on this thread before (but look at the lovely pics often) as only been on MN for two years and lost my last, beautiful cat, Dolly, three years ago. Due to divorce and house move, I still haven't got another cat. My adult daughter has also since moved out and took her dog (who lived with us at mine) with her. I still see him at least once a week thankfully. So no lovely pets st home now.
I've recently been looking for another cat/cats, as usually had two and would prefer to have two again. I also wanted cats that do not look like my previous ones. I've had grey tabby, pure black, black with white tuxedo and blue and white. Two rescues and two through friends/family. Never from a breeder.
Ive recently been approached about homing these tortie two beauties, through a friend. Fate?!
I'm very excited. I haven't had kittens for 15yrs and I'm chuffed to be hopefully homing both. I live alone now and am so looking forward to having two minxes to look after, entertain me and great company.
Thought you other cat lovers would appreciate a photo.
Mum is Maine coon (I think the ears give that away), dad is unknown as mum got out before she was neutered. I'm going to see the kittens with their mum on weds. They're 9 weeks now.
I'm thinking of naming them Dixie (left) and Purdey
Just wanted to share my excitement!

Absolutely adorable!

Just look at those faces - they will run you ragged, especially as they are Maine Coon, and you will love every second. Gorgeous, beautiful, unusual looking kitties. I'm looking forward to reading about their antics when they come home in a couple of weeks 😁

PangoPurrl · 04/06/2023 18:36

Oh how wonderful OP, I'd be bursting with excitement! Such gorgeous little babies 😻

Ellmau · 04/06/2023 18:41

Very striking looking!

I hope you get them.

Tidsleytiddy · 04/06/2023 19:09

Fabulous! They look amazing! Enjoy them x

Smartiepants79 · 04/06/2023 19:12

Grab them with both hands. They’re lovely.

SiobhanSharpe · 04/06/2023 19:13

Wow, they are beauties. Enjoy your future bosses!

Kenwoodmixitup · 04/06/2023 19:50

Excellent. Coming in at the beginning of a long thread. Little beauties 🥰

Thesunwillcomeoutverysoon · 04/06/2023 19:52

Oo they look a handful! They will be fabulous op!
Very envious!

SaintCethleann · 04/06/2023 20:37

Take them! Take them! TAKE THEM!!!

They are utterly gorgeous, and you will love being their servant! 😀

We got similarly good news today, we're going to be indentured servants to two new kitties!

We're getting a fluffy black boy and a tuxedo girl with a milk moustache - they are utterly adorable 😍
The shelter will be bringing them to us on Tuesday or Wednesday, so we'll be starting our new kitty lives at more or less the same time!

I hope you are as lucky as we were - my fingers are crossed for you!

pointythings · 04/06/2023 20:46

They're stunning, you'll have so much love and fun.

Yarnysaura · 04/06/2023 20:52

Aww, naughty torties, be prepared!

Pixiedust1234 · 04/06/2023 21:10

❤ My goodness they are adorable!!

I hear you about not getting the same colouring, and the divorce/new house. Your new life is going to be full of life, love and laughter for sure.

Florissant · 04/06/2023 21:36

Take them!

hellsbells99 · 04/06/2023 21:42

They are gorgeous 😻

caringcarer · 04/06/2023 22:33

How exciting for you OP. They look adorable. 🐈 My D's is moving into his own home later this month. He will get settled then wants 2 kitties. I'm so excited because I'm going over each day to Kittie sit until theyre a bit bigger. He said he doesn't want children so he won't be giving me grandchildren so they will be grandkitties for me. 😻😻

Clarich007 · 05/06/2023 13:09

Utterly beautiful gorgeous kittens.
Enjoy the fun. We had 2 tortie sisters and they weren't at all naughty. I must have been lucky.
A stray cat walked into a friends house and gave birth within a few hours, much to the owner's shock. She was great, and looked after them so well. They were very well socialised when we got them at 10 weeks. This was a long time ago).
They were truly beautiful loving cats, who lived to be 19 and 20 years. Still miss them 20 years later.

Update if anyone is interested....
Visited the girls yesterday over a cuppa with human mum. She agreed to let me have them and I collected them at 1pm.
They travelled really well in the car but only 25mins and are settling brilliantly. Very curious and very adorable. They are playing football together 😻😻

They are absolutely beautiful!!!!!

How lovely!

sawnotseen · 08/06/2023 15:16

Thanks for all of your messages.
Found out dad is a black British shorthair who got into the house through an open window, randy fella! So will be interesting to see what coats these two will develop. They have very different personalities already, Purdey (ginger mask) is very outgoing and Dixie is smaller and rather more timid. But they both played and are now snuggled up together, asleep.

Their markings are beautiful and fascinating (I've never had a tortie) ..... I might be a little bit in love already 😻😻

Oh they are fabulous, enjoy OP!

Pudmyboy · 08/06/2023 15:43

They are so lovely! Those ears are amazing! Please keep posting pics!!

sawnotseen · 09/06/2023 05:56

Soooo, the girls had a good night. I slept on the sofa with them as I didn't want to disturb them!
They were up playing football at 5am, very entertaining, both have eaten, both have had a wee in their litter tray but only Purdey (bigger one with ginger mask) has had a poo.
I hope I'm not boring you with my posts/pics.
