…the trio that have come to live with a dd and family today.
It was supposed to be just 2!

I wish they did develop road sense, MayBee. Sadly, two of mine didn’t.

I think once cats get to over a year they seem to develop some road sense. It’s when they’re what I always called cattens that they’re at their most dangerous; bit like teenagers pushing the boundaries. I love cats but couldn’t have another one. I just worry every time they’re out! I love black cats though.

Do agree re vet bills - I think dd is mad - they have 3 young dcs too! but at least 2 kittens are boys so the snip is cheaper than spaying the girl. They weren’t going to have her too (the tortoiseshell) but she looks just like one we had when dds were young - sadly didn’t last long, was run over, and we didn’t even live near the road.

Unfortunately my tortoiseshell was run over too before she reached a year, my work colleague had an almost identical sister from the same litter, and again run over several weeks after mine. Maybe tortoiseshells don't have good road sense sad

Beautiful really sweet little trio, wishing them happy, healthy and long lives. I'm very envious.

SunshineSally Tue 06-Sept-22 07:20:56

Aww they are adorable ?. Oh the fun and games as they’re chasing each other ?

Gorgeous kittens, a lot of work but also a lot of fun

Ooh lovely kitties!! I could easily be a cat lady with a houseful. Trouble is I can't afford them.

What a lovely trio and so good they will be kept together. We have two twin sisters and they are inseparable, when one goes ‘missing’ the other gets anxious and hunts round for her. Once we had shut one in the linen cupboard by mistake, couldn’t find her anywhere and we found her because her sister sat outside meowing until we let her out! Ours are calicos, just turned a year old.

We have a calico and a fluffy white with ginger markings,my OH offered to take the other two of the litter but they had homes already
.Ours will be 4 next month and I can honestly say they kept me sane during the pandemic.Our fluffy white girl was the boss at first now her wee sister is,its great fun watching them .Mine go out and I've lost count of the times neighbours have knocked the door to say they're on the garage roof or up a tree chasing squirrels,they ae a laugh a minute .Hope you get as much fun from your new wee pals

Love the little ginge! I have a great weakness for ginger cats.

Shelflife Mon 05-Sept-22 23:28:50

Very cute! Those are three lucky kittens.

Callistemon21 Mon 05-Sept-22 22:39:52

I'm not a cat lover but there is something irresistible about kittens - those three are lovely.

Vet bills are horrendous now, Charleygirl, even with insurance.

Hellogirl1 Mon 05-Sept-22 22:37:32

They`re gorgeous!

Charleygirl5 Mon 05-Sept-22 22:33:23

They are gorgeous but I would not want to pay the vet bills.

Catterygirl Mon 05-Sept-22 22:23:03

Oh lovely, but expensive.

Georgesgran Mon 05-Sept-22 22:06:41

I’ve just done a double take because this is quite a coincidence. I’ve acquired a couple of hedgehogs who visit most nights and I’m feeding them cat food, hedgehog food and kitten kibble. One night, I was surprised to see the food being eaten by a tortoiseshell cat which ran off as soon as it saw me move inside. Another night a black cat (with a white chest) appeared and I recognized it as the pretty stray that lives under a tree in the local pub car park.
Unbelievably, last night, a lovely ginger and white kitty popped by for a few mouthfuls. They look like older versions of your three.
Have you heard The Mafia Cats by Roger McGough - great for anyone with cats that go outdoors.

How adorable smile

SueDonim Mon 05-Sept-22 21:41:33

Aw, the wee poppets! ???

Hithere Mon 05-Sept-22 21:27:33

Awwww too much cuteness

PoppyFlower Mon 05-Sept-22 21:16:33

Gorgeous kitties!! ?

LadyGracie Mon 05-Sept-22 21:10:04

The are gorgeous, I love cats. My sister runs a cat charity in France, at the moment there are so many cats and kittens around her foster homes are full so she has 36 at her home.

Grandma70s Mon 05-Sept-22 20:47:52

I really want the tortoiseshell.

I once intended to have two cats but finished up with four, because I couldn’t bear to separate siblings.

Sparklefizz Mon 05-Sept-22 20:42:34

Aaaaw! So sweet. What are your daughter and family going to name them?

agnurse Mon 05-Sept-22 20:37:48

Awwwww, a toy panther, a toy lion, and a pretty calico! They are adorable!
