Kittens!!!!

[HufflyPuffly]

Well I couldn't not update you after everyone was so helpful in my last thread!

I picked up the bundles of fluff a week last Sunday, and wow the chaos descended! I figured they might be a bit timid for a couple of days with the move, and not having their sisters and mum around, but the crying and bewildered look only lasted about half an hour . Now they are EVERYWHERE , I'm so glad I brought two home as they keep each other amused for hours! Play fighting and wrestling, they are mean to each other .

Glad I didn't buy cat beds in the end though as they generally sleep on the sofa or chairs or me . They've been absolutely fantastic about the litter tray so far, with only the one accident last night (hopefully the first and last as she was so upset there was nothing to cover the wee with she went and finished it in the litter tray...). They've had their first injections and been wormed (the mummy cat was seen to sick up some worms so it was just a precaution), the vet struggled to hear Tiger's heartbeat as she wouldn't stop purring .

Which leads me on to, I've finally decided on names, well I think I have so meet Tiger:

and Lilly:

I love them to bits already!

Attacking each other:

Box fun!

Still need to make the place a little more kitten friendly but we're getting there, once my spare dining room table and chairs have gone I'm planning on getting them one of those big multi-storey play things, which I think they'll love!

So yeah, what an introduction to the world of cats .

[Mrs B]

Lovely! What a pair of cuties!

Yes, they are extremely good timewasters and they (if they haven't already) will take over your house and heart.

That's it now: cats will be in your life forever. Forever, I tell you!

*Mad old cat-lady Mrs B wanders off, cackling*

Beautiful kitties, and I love their names.

Where are you based? We have a cat climbing frame/scratching post thingy in the loft. If you're close enough to collect, you are welcome to it.

There's hope! Mr B is the male opposite of me ... probably why I married him all those year ago ...

But where would I fit a bloke in? In between the horses and cats I have no time for such shenanigans! No crazy old cat lady it is, I just need to buy a place in the country and collect more .

Aw, just adorable, loving the pounce shot! Could see that a mile off. LOL

I would love another cat, not allowed though.

Look forward to seeing more pics, I'll have to get my cat fix that way.

 

[hackneylass2]

what a pair of cuties...I have a soft spot for tortie-tabbies! Wishing you all lots of fun together!

I found this which is interesting>

A calico-colored cat is a white-based cat that has large splotches of black and large splotches of orange that don't intermingle. Black, orange, and white are all (for the most part) separate.

A tortoiseshell-colored cat has black and orange mixed in together, in a brindle-type pattern. The majority have a 'split' nose....black on one side and orange on the other. They can also have white on them....but that makes them torti and white, not calico.

Some cats couldn't 'decide' which they wanted to be, lol....and end up with some calico-colored body parts, and some torti-colored body parts.

The situation is further complicated when you have torti and tabby markings (stripes) at the same time. We call that a 'torbi.'

A calico cat with the 'dilution' gene comes out gray and pale orange on a white base, and is called a dilute calico. A torti with the dilution gene comes out as a lightened version with the same markings also, and is called a dilute torti. (Imagine either coloration being 'bleached' out to a paler version.

 

[Suelin]

Pretty little girls. Envious of the hours of fun you will have with them.

 

[Highlands]

Lovely, mine are a year now, I got my kitty gym off preloved. Great success they adore it.

it's hard to get action shots as they just end up blurry as they have perfected their 'running really fast', they're now jumping everywhere instead . Boo to not being allowed a cat though, could you sneak just a little one in .

Wow that's fascinating, thank you. So I guess they are 'torbi'? Though their noses are solid colours, Lilly has a pink nose and Tiger a brown?

haha thanks, but they are such time-wasters I'm late for everything now!

Ohh hadn't thought of Preloved thanks for the idea will have a nosy.
