I have 2 kittens 3 months old from the same litter

Oh Ruff you came back, love your username, you came on the forum asking advice you were given it, you understand cats do you, Hmm, so you are aware they move about. Yes they will climb, and yes if you are leaving money around they will go for it, they are inquisitive and everyday is an adventure for tiny teeth and claws, they are learning, but you know about cats don’t you, they would also swallow tiny things left about, so be a good girlie and rehome these poor little kittens so they can be loved and cherished by a real cat lover, See ya

Thank you, PinkCakes ! Hopefully enough to get the point across, but subtle enough not to get deleted!

*Phoenix" Love your comment

ruff74 having managed to read your deleted post, may I kindly suggest that you rehome your kittens, as you obviously value your curtains more and go shove your #£%& up your $¢℅℅¥ rather than waste your @&£% time posting on here.

The cats are worth a better home than you are prepared to give them.

Oh shame, i do feel sorry for the kittens, someone once got a kitten from me when one of mycats had kittens,
A few days later she rang me and said it was trying to bite her husband,
I explained that kittens don't bitr to be nasty they play bite and if with their mother she would sort them out
I told her to give it time and what to do
They had never had cats before either
They still have the cat

blondenana I think ruff good name eh ? has disappeared

Ruff get a catnip spray and spray on the cat scratcher,cats love it ,it is like a drug to them and will encourage them to use that instead of your furniture
Kittens do like to climb, gut they will grow out of it, they don't know any different yet
Ask the breeder you got them from to give you some advice
If you really can't cope with them i would suggest you rehome them,
Please do not shout at them ,or of course smack them,it won't help and will make them very timid
Thet need lots of cuddles and affection
I have had cats all my life and never ever had ruined furniture,give them time,they are babies still

???

I think it's the same in every language!

They must do things differently in the USA Callistemon! Over here, we just say "Oh dear, do you disagree with my point of view? I'm so terribly sorry to have offended you, please accept my sincere apologies". Although "F@@@ off" pretty much means the same

Oh no, it was a gem of a post!

A classic in childishness

The unkind cat woman said that the kittens have caused hundreds of dollars of damage so she's a long way from SW England. Hopefully.

I think the clue was ‘I had to borrow a kennel from my grandma’. I don’t suppose there are many posters to GN who have grandparents providing them with things they need...

I have some sympathy with ruff74. I've been an RSPCA cat fosterer for over 30 years now and I've provided both temporary, and permanent homes for more than 40 cats in that time. But even I have to admit that they're ignorant, undisciplined little beggars. They don't listen when you tell them not to pee in the corner; or shimmy up the curtains and then wail because they can't get down. The number of times I've told them, in words of not more than one syllable, not to sharpen their claws on the arm of the chair but do they listen? Nada.

ruff74 please, do yourself, and the kittens a favour. Give them to someone who has an ounce of common sense and instinctively knows that you can't have a meaningful conversation with a kitten; and someone who has even 1/10th more compassion, kindness and humanity than you. It shouldn't be difficult.

ruff74 There is nothing to be embarrassed about by admitting that you've taken on more than you can cope with, and finding a cat rescue place for your lovely kittens so that they can be found a happy home where they can settle.

I'm much more concerned about what will happen to your kittens than your curtains, and think you should do the right thing and rehome them. If you live in the South West of England, I have a friend who is looking for 2 kittens and he would adopt them and take them off your hands.

You probably started out with the best of intentions but it is all going wrong for you .... and for those precious kittens. Taking on a cat is a longterm project - you may have them for 18 + years. Think carefully about rehoming them.

Aw, bless her. Her expensive curtains are being scratched by kittens that she doesn't know what to do with. Diddums then.

ruff74 They are KITTENS, for goodness sake! That is what kittens do!

Whoops sorry that got copied twice oops

trendynanny she has come back stamping her little feet and telling us all to f@@@ off
So I suggest we do just that and leave her to have her little temper tantrum whilst her hundreds of dollars are shredded by her poor little kittens

Poor cats

Oh dear.
Having a tantie.

I think the OP must live abroad somewhere.
$$$$$

Hopefully it’s a stupid wind up post, since she /he hasn’t come back, amazing really the things that float some people boats

Callistemon I really don't like dog cages - I know you say that they are to give a dog a place of refuge, but some ignorant owners use a cage to keep a dog in so that it won't climb onto the settee/make a mess anywhere/chew the furniture etc. I used to occasionally help my friend with her dog-walking and pet-sitting business, and the number of dogs that were kept in a cage whilst the owner was out at work all day used to upset me so much.

The OP sounds young/inexperienced/thick (delete where appropriate)

Wind the bobbin up
as appropriate.

I know what you mean, PinkCakes. I think if used properly they are ok as the only ones I've seen have been used as a refuge not a prison.
