Hmmm, so how long does one wait before you can call her yours?

I don’t know ??‍♀️, a week?

She’s currently not coming out from under the sofa, though it is all a bit tetchy with Huffle bring mid season again ?.

Weirdly the older two seem much less offended by her than they were of Huffle? I wonder if being potentially a few weeks younger helps?

A friends domestic cat had kittens and they all hissed when they were tiny but they just became friendly and stopped hissing after a while, it might just be that she is really scared and naturally timid.

Maybe but I’d have thought someone would have missed her by now if she’s not feral? I think there must be a feral population as the vets had humane traps out. I guess I’ll not know unless someone comes forward, I’ve not had a feral before though I have friends who have had plenty from this sort of age.

Mum's feral started as Missy the missing, then Percy the persistent when the vet said it was a boy but ended up as Roly the rotund. I'm sure she will grow into a name when she's less timid.

Very cute, how old do you think she is?

The vet nurse suggested 8 weeks, but I think she could well be younger? Her eyes are still changing colour and she just seems tiny!

How does Miss Puffle-pants feel now she's now been overtaken in the adorable stakes?

Oh poor Huff's she still number one floof-ball! She's still being all dramatic in season so is a little hormonal, she wants to play with her but then growls and bats her... Supervised contact only for the mo! Weirdly the older two seem very un-fussed and are happy to sniff and ignore?

So it would appear she is staying... Rang the vets to see if I can get her wormed and checked over, they said not only has no-one range for her but another kitten was handed in on Sunday :(, so either a feral litter or someone has dumped them. Hope their mum and any other siblings are ok!

Sorry for the messy house, kittens do not make for a tidy place lol. Huffle is very excited by her but being a little rough, little one seems fine about it and is surprisingly bold and fierce back!

Omg she is so lovely! Glad Hufflepuff is taking it all well, maybe she will be glad of another critter to play with once she gets properly used to her!

She loves her and kitten thinks she's amazing too, I'm just a bit nervous of the size difference...

She's such a darling! I'm so jealous of people who find homeless cats. A friend of mine always seems to be tripping over stray cats!

This is my first one! The first two were a litter that came with a house a friend bought lol and god help me I bought Huffle lol. I can go see if I can see any more for you...

She is adorable! All my cats are farm cats but the latest 4 are muck heap kittens. The oldest two one was always fairly friendly but the other, Hermione really wasnt. I used to risk my hands and pick her up for strokes and after a bit she would quite enjoy it and go to sleep, reverting back to feral after she woke up and got off my lap. She was actually tamed by DSW, who rubbed her face with his one morning when she was sat on the kitchen table. Shes been been tame as tame ever since, we joked she was tamed by DSWs stink overpowering her ?

Haha this sounds familar, though she is getting much braver all the time, she likes to hiss at me just because now I think lol.

She’s just so cute. Absolutely lovely and looks like she is making herself at home.

Very at home and has all the other cats wrapped around her little paw!

I left her on the sofa whilst I did the ponies and she was still there three hours later ??, she can get down on her own I should add!

She’s been wormed today, so I’m not sure if it took it out of her, but she did the most enormous poop when she did get up ??.
