Some of you will recognise my name as we sadly lost my girl on Christmas/Boxing Day. I hate having a cat-free home so yesterday we adopted two babies who have spent over half their lives in the shelter. Currently hiding behind the dishwasher but I do have a photo or two. Who would like to meet them?

I still get sad about my Bonnie but these aren't going to replace her, just eventually fill that feline-shaped hole at home.

Sorry to hear about your cat @MyGhastIsFlabbered.

I would love to see a photo. How old are they?
I love mischievous kitten 😂

Do you really have to ask? 😀

I’m sorry about your loss, but you are right that they will create their own place in your heart Flowers

rainpleasestop · 07/01/2024 08:16

Yes please!

FiveShelties · 07/01/2024 08:18

Oh yes please🐱

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 07/01/2024 08:27

I feel we are being toyed with like a cat with its prey.
Want to see some cute kittens?
Are you sure?
Are you REALLY sure? 🤣

Yes please OP (and also very sorry about Bonnie, but I fully understand about the need for cats around the house)

Meet Kizzy and Fizzy. The first photo is them at home the second is the one we saw on the website. They're 6 months old and VERY frightened but they've eaten and drunk, and used the litter tray so I'm not concerned that we haven't seen them. I'm just spending time in the same room as them quietly to get them used to us and hopefully we'll get there.

I was going to change their names but DS2 won't let me.

A face has emerged (excuse the dust under the cupboard!)

Black kittens - irresistible. Can you tell them apart? 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

bumtrumpet · 07/01/2024 08:37

Oh how adorable. I'm sure they'll settle soon.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 07/01/2024 08:41

Fizzy is a boy and has a little white patch on his chin and is the braver of the two.

Kizzy is a pure black very skittish girl

Two black beauties - what lovely little darlings.

Ostryga · 07/01/2024 08:44

Oh they are gorgeous! I think they’ll grow in confidence quite quickly, my rescue girl went from hissing and trying to rip my hand off if I even breathed near her to being a full on lap cat within 4 weeks.

You’ve got the right idea sitting with them. Maybe bring in some extra stinky treat food to give them while you’re in there so they decide you are the bringer of delicious things and like you.

Sorry about your girl.

FiveShelties · 07/01/2024 08:44

They are absolutely gorgeous.

Allthecatseverywhereallatonce · 07/01/2024 08:45

Beautiful kittens 😍 .A house is not a home without cats. So Sorry for your loss it is awful to lose a cat but I am sure those 2 will help you heal.

Jennalong · 07/01/2024 08:45

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 07/01/2024 09:03

I am jealous! Gorgeous kitties.

I hope they settle in nicely over the coming days/weeks.

Gritty · 07/01/2024 09:09

Awwww very cute!

SunnieShine · 07/01/2024 09:10

Your kittens are little crackers. Please keep posting on their progress. x

Hello beautiful 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛

We rescued 2 black kittens 10 yrs ago - well mum and daughter, but mum was very young when she had her kittens - took about 3 days before they ventured out to us

My son had one of those high beds at the time, and they used to get on the top of that and ended up being fed there for a couple of days 🤣

pinneddownbytabbies · 07/01/2024 09:15

Oh I do love a black cat - all of mine have been black apart from the current contingent.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 07/01/2024 09:18

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 07/01/2024 09:41
