They're here

The kittens have arrived - they are beautiful, but we have now found out that there were 6 in the litter & 3 have already been homed, so we have got mom & only 3 kittens. Problem is they can't be 6 weeks old. We were told they are about 6 weeks, but I think they are 4 weeks. I know what kittens are like & I've seen lots of litters & they look & act much younger than 6 weeks, although they all look in good health (except fleas) Mom is lovely - only young, but seems happy. She was not left at the vets to be neutered as she needs to finish rearing her babies first.
mom is quite a pale tabby
2 kittens are ginger & white & other is tabby & white. all boys.

Dad arrived later - he is lovely. Big ginger & white, friendly fella. He's to be neutered tomorrow.

Hope the other 3 babies are ok.

Thats awfully young - but nothing you can do now I got my old cat Archie at 4 weeks - he was about to be "drowned" by the husband when I got there he had already drowned his three littermates

Archie never really seemed to get over it being removed from Mom so young - mind you that may have been the bad life his Mom had led before he was born and after - as you can imagine.

Oddly enough his Mom went missing a week after I got Archie - no idea where she went

but a friend of mine had a beautiful tabby cat for the next 13 years that looked just like Archie's Mom - odd that.

Archie died aged 10 months under the wheels of a car.

I am sure you will make sure the three you have plus Mom and Dad are happy,

Oh Smudgley, they sound adorable. Will you be able to post piccies soon????? Hope dad is ok tomorrow at the vets

smudgley · 12-04-2005, 10:46 PM

Yes I will try to get some pics tomorrow of the little cuties.
They all have wonderful temperaments. Dad is really lovely. Proper Tom cat, looks like he's travelled a few miles in his time. really affectionate.
Mom is a darling who loves her babies, I'm sad about the others but there's nothing at all we can do - we tried to say they need their mommy - but

So we need names for Mom Dad and three boys eh?

How about Tom Dick and Harry for the kittens?

How strange

Kazz · 12-04-2005, 10:49 PM

I know - it was odd really spooky - I mean she lives all the way down in Cornwall to my friend. It was almost like an episode for the Xfiles

They sound gorgeous Smudgley but so young. It's nice that Mom and dad seem unperturbed by the move.....let's hope they all settle in well.

smudgley · 12-04-2005, 10:50 PM

Mom & Dad are named - so I will keep their names.
Dad is called Tigger & Mom is called Whiskas.

The boys I want to call them all names starting with A, like we do with all the Guide Dog pups -
