Oh my word! How sweet are they? Thank you so much for sharing. Is your DD going to keep them or find homes for them?

Fabulous, I love the ginger tom, he is pushing his sibling away so he can get more space!

They must be a handful when awake-has she any curtains left hanging?!

Sparklefizz Wed 28-Sept-22 10:55:31

has she any curtains left hanging?

My vet, whose cat had had 7 kittens, said she went home at lunchtime to feed them and check on them and they were nowhere to be found. Eventually she found all 7 kittens hanging on her curtains like bats!!!!!!! shock

Keeping them. They were only supposed to have two, but dd couldn’t bear to leave the little tortoiseshell (female) all lonely on her own! The other two are males.

Many years ago we had two young kittens, left to sleep in a cosy bed in the kitchen. Came down in the morning, they were nowhere to be seen, but one of the kitchen drawers was mysteriously open. Kittens had managed to get into the drawer, somehow climbed over the inside end of it, and had presumably slept at the bottom of the cabinet. Thank goodness, once I called, they managed to get themselves out again!

They love curtains, don’t they? My two have left tiny holes in the bedroom curtains, only visible during daylight. Today one of them jumped from our roof onto the ground. I rushed out but she just looked at me and ran across the garden as if nothing had happened. Our two sisters were rescue cats and are now a year old. They are gorgeous .

Oh how lovely, brightened up our day as we recover from flu. We are the very proud owners of 2 beautiful gingers who give us so much pleasure. Thank you for sharing

Witzend Sorry, I misunderstood your post and thought your DD's cat had had kittens, hence I asked if she was going to keep them.

How lovely to have all 3. I look forward to lots more photos (hint smile ) They will be such a joy all of them together. When I had 2 kittens together they gave me so much pleasure to watch them playing. Sadly one of them was run over.

Witzend What names have they been given?

Joseanne Wed 28-Sept-22 12:14:06

Growing fast, sweeties. Thank you, keep the updates coming.

Witzend What names have they been given?

Rainbow, Tigger and Bagheera - Gdcs’ choices! No prizes for guessing which is which.

Lovely wee things. Kittens are such a joy. Great names btw.
Currently feeling sad as unexpected bad news re one of ours.

I homed a kitten who climbed up the chimney. The fire was not lit, luckily. He managed to get himself down but the fireguard was, from then on, left in place permanently, the fire being lit or not. It solved the problem of naming him. He was from then on known as 'Sweep'.

Love them!

Many years ago our cat had kittens. We decided to keep one, and found prospective homes for the other 4. We got down to just one waiting to be collected..................and it went missing! We searched the house and garden, looked in the street, no sign, so we thought we were going to have to tell the new owners we`d lost their kitten. The following day, I decided to put a record on the radiogram, which had doors on the front, opened the doors to find one tabby kitten fast asleep on the turntable!
