Finally ended up with kittens! Just one photo as they are very feral so didn't want to stress them. Just sitting watching the CCTV now to make sure they all eat and drink (which they seem to have done about two seconds after i left) This little one seems the least timid hence a photo. They are all identical but with very slight differences..this is the pretty one, another has a black nose and the last has a black chin. No idea what they are yet as i won't be putting hands on for a few days yet. Will update again soon!

They will need names of course. but im going to have to select gender neutral ones lol. The vicious one is called Sid so thats pretty gender neutral..

Currently the others are "pretty" and "wheres the other one"

Kittens coming on as well as can be expected. They are still not by any means tame but i can get them caught and put them on my knee without being attacked and they will sit for a time before slowly trying to get off..they are happy to eat in front of me for a little while before hiding again. Thye got wormed today and two (Pretty and Squarehead nee- "where is the other one") took the pill and swallowed no bother and Sid Vicious lived up to his name and needed the swaddle and a glove lol funny thing though is he is the one who actually stays on my knee the longest. Thye have put on a little weight which is great and they are forming solid poos and on CCTV i see them romping about and playing with the various bits of tat i have deemed cat worthy toys.

Some photos for reference lol

This is Squarehead..

Kitten update, they are all doing fabulous. I can't claim they are tame, and i doubt they ever will be tame cats but i can get them and pet them on my knee for a while but they are still skittish. Not as bad as they were by far though, and i can walk up to them slowly and touch them. I would still like them to put on a little more weight but they keep having growth spurts lol Sid is proving to be the most playful and my lovely driving whip is coming in very handy!

They have met big cat and were not one bit afraid of him...he however ran away when they came near big wuss hahaha i always knew they would be safe with him because he is such a wuss.

Pretty is the most photogenic cat i have ever had. I can't (literally) get a good photo of the big cat i have had for 7 years! I have about 2 of his face but both are crap. He refuses to be photographed hahaha

Squarehead bless is just a bit of an ugmug and sid is just inbwteen.

Ohhhh they’re too cute!
Love their names :)
Ive got 2 cats now, always had cats, they find me, strays tend to! The first few i homed when i was younger were ginger....then as i got older and more witchy ive attracted black strays...im now have my fourth black stray, a boy, great ratter, he even hunts squirrels! Never known a cat to do that until him.....:oops:
Stray black number 3, tiny princess 10yrs old, doesn't like the new stray and screams at him despite him being twice her size! Black stray 2 died recently at 20 yrs old, i had him since he was a wee kitten like yours..many many glorious moments and enrichments of life thanks to quirky cats!

Occurs to me this thread hasn’t had an update in a while. All three kittens are now not so kitteny! All three have been doctored and chipped/vacc so I opened their top door in the stable and it only took two days for them to realise there’s a big world haha so they now roam free.

pretty has become very loving and will be the first to run to you and will choose pets over food (he makes me heart melt!!!)

Sid is now spelled Syd as he decided to become female ?‍♀️ But mercifully has dropped the vicious and is now rather tame! It’s still slowly slowly, and only this morning I got my first proper head but from her!

Squarehead is now Kit because I was too embarrassed to say squarehead for his vet papers thus he was put down as kitten but kit has stuck lol he is still maintaining he is a feral cat and I haven’t had hands on him since catching him for the vets. He had a bad reaction to the anaesthetic and the vet said he went proper bonkers and frankly I think he has ptsd ? however slowly slowly he is coming around. He will at least meow at meal times from afar lol and yesterday he sniffed my hand.

What a lovely update, and those kittens just made me do a "nawwww" out loud. They're adorable, and I think I like them so much because they have the same facial markings as my Daisy (who is no longer with us). Feel free to post many more photos!
