They are finally home! Picked them up this morning, at first they were quiet as mice and then Riley starting yowling like he was being catnapped. The meowing stopped while he fell asleep with his head in Kali's tummy and then as soon as he woke up he started again.
Got them home and opened up the basket, they both sat there for a minute or two then Riley jumped out and raced through his play tunnel. He's really confident and very affectionate - I'm in love already :Luv: Kali was a bit quieter and sat in the basket on her own for about 5 minutes. I picked her up and cradled her on my knee and she sat there for another 5 minutes before she went off to explore. They are now both snuggled up in their new bed :Luv:

Hannah/Ann I got the bed from Pets at Home a few weeks ago. It was reduced from £24.99 to £9 in the sale. It's crazy, there were some hideous beds that were still full price and the nice ones were reduced!
OK, seeing as you have all been so nice here's one more for you, taken about 2 minutes ago ;D

:welcome: to Purrs Kali and Riley xxx
-
Thanks everyone :shy: I can't believe what perfect little kittens they are :Luv: They have both eaten now and done a wee in the tray each, no poo as yet :shify: If they are not chasing round with a mouse in their mouth or jumping on each other they are snuggled up together :Luv: I was sat cross legged on the floor and Riley just came up to me and jumped on my legs, he wormed his way up to my chest and we just had the lovliest snuggly cuddle - he was purring like a steam train. Kali heard him and came rushing over and sat of my legs too :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
;D
sounds like you've had the best day in a long time helen.
I'm so pleased they are settling in so well and they must be very clever to have used the tray already :ok: (cody held his in for 24 hrs)
Sounds like Riley is definately the confident rascal ;D

Wishing you all a long and happy life ahead

-
I luv the hoop pics helen ;D Riley soooo reminded me of a certain munster hanging through it like that :rofl: and i never noticed Kali on the shelf ha ha.
Kali looks far more sophisticated the way she is sitting pretty in the hoop doesnt she, They have such characters and its so obvious already.
Enjoy them as it wont be long before they are grown up and like my munster still going through the hoop but in denial that their waistline has expanded :evillaugh:
-
oh kali's little crossed paws!!!!! too cute!!!!! riley does have a certain tinker look about him!
bet tiggy's laughing at them using.... destroying her things xx
oh helen theyre just gorgeous xx :Luv:
-
:yayyy: :yayyy:
Sounds and looks like the three of you are having a whale of a time! Hurrah! :Luv:
Love the scratcher photos, and clever kitties for using it....
-
Just got in from work and rushed on to see if there were ay pics of the new arrivals... i'm not disappointed!!
They are absolutely gorgeous I :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: them both, what fab pics!
They are so lucky to have you as their new mummy, enjoy watching them grow, i know i will!
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

-
:1st place: Hi Helen - am so pleased to catch this thread. The piccies are fab, and both your little babies look like real bundles of mischief - just what you need!
-
Aww, lovely pics Helen, am sure you will all have lots of fun together.
-
Helen, I think I'm in love with Kali :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
What can I say, I love tabbies!
Déborah xx
-
Awww Helen they are gorgoeus :Luv: :Luv:
I love the second pic especially the "ornament" on the self :evillaugh:
How was their first night xxx
-
Aww they are little cuties, Im sure you will be having lots of fun with them. I love little gray babies.
-
Helen they look lovely little bundles of fluff and so clever too to use the litter tray!!! The first day that I bought Jet and Cruz home I had to wipe poo from the floor behind the TV and the bin in the kitchen :sick:
Kali is a darling, i think I'm in love :Luv:
-
Oh they are absolutely gorgeous!
Congratulations Helen!
-
Congratulations Helen. They are simply stupendous puddins :Luv: :Luv:
-
How was your first night together helen ? did ya get any sleep.
-
Thanks again everyone, I'm the proudest Mum on earth ;D They are just the most wonderful kittens, I have just taken a beautiful picture of Kali but will wait until I have another nice one of Riley before I show it off, don't want to be accused of favouritism :evillaugh: It may take some time though, he won't stay still! They are in the spare room at the moment so I had a good nights sleep, we had a lovely snuggly cuddle before bed again and then when I went in in the morning they just looked angelic sleeping, within 45 seconds they were whirling round the room like a tornado! They must think their name is 'careful' as that's all I seem to be saying. The way they are crashing into walls and furniture is scaring me, I don't want them to hurt themselves :scared:
I think they are settled enough to be introduced to the rest of the house now but am a bit worried as they haven't done a poo yet, their foster Mum said they were still doing the odd poo in the corner. They definitely know what the litter tray is for as they have done at least 3 wees each, in fact they love it in there - they are fascinated with the granules moving as they dig. Come on little ones, do a poo!
-
Helen, I think I'm in love with Kali :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
What can I say, I love tabbies!
Déborah xx
She actually reminds me of a grey version of Mia, she is so delicate with really fine features and has well, *ahem* rather large ears :evillaugh:
-
Oh bless them :Luv: It sounds like they're settling in really well. If only they'd do a poo! Personally, I think I'd wait until they've done a poo before letting them in the rest of the house in case they just aren't keen on using the tray for poos. If that's the case you don't want to give them too many alternative places to go. I'll send poo vibes your way! :rofl:
-
She actually reminds me of a grey version of Mia, she is so delicate with really fine features and has well, *ahem* rather large ears :evillaugh:
Hey!!! Are you slagging off my kitten?! Shame on you! :evillaugh: She's got very pretty ears!
Déborah xx
-
No, no - big ears are a good thing ;D Riley seems to be very jealous of Kali's 'assets' and bites them at every opportunity :evillaugh:
-
Helen when they r old enough r they gonna be indoor cats only or indoor/outdoor?
any more pics ? :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :catluv: :cat laugh:
-
Cody thinks mia's & Kali's big ears are lurverly and matches his :evillaugh:
-
They are in the spare room at the moment so I had a good nights sleep,
Bet that was painful tearing yourself away. Let me guess, you went to bed at 2am, worried for 3 hours and got up again at 5am to see them? :evillaugh:
-
They are going to be indoors, if I move to somewhere suitable for catproofing then I will definitely do that and let them out but for the moment they will be indoor only. Seeing as you asked so nicely here's a couple from today :)

-
are they asleep in the last one? silly things half falling out!! too cute theyre in exactly the same position though!!!!
oh helen i love them soooooooo much!!!!!!! bet you cant stop smiling XX
-
i luv them helen.
i adore the way they were sleeping in the same position and i luv the way its quite obvious kali is going to be the brains behind the duo..look at the way she is working out how to get that ball out of the toy :evillaugh: She is also very photogenic :Luv:
-
Yup - looks like Kali is going to be the brains and Riley the brawn ;D
The photos just get cuter. They are so adorable in that last one :Luv:
Just remembered I've got Helen's address so if anyone wants to join me in a kitten napping mission just let me know... ;D
-
Yeah they are sleeping in that last pic :) In fact they are doing a lot of sleeping, while they are awake they are mental but then they crash out for 3 hours solid. I keep going in there to find them sparko in their little bed and still no poos :(
Lynn, Riley has been playing with the roundabout toy for hours on end, he bats the ball with his left paw going clockwise and then bats it back with his right paw anti-clockwise, he finally let Kali have a go for a minute and that's when I took the pic.
As for Susanne's ILLEGAL suggestion :evillaugh: All I can say is that you'll have to get past me first ;)
Here's a close up of my sleeping beauties :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n102/tigs78/Babies082Medium.jpg)
-
count me in..............Kali definitely looks more into everything. She be the one that gets Riley into trouble as he'll copy his cute sister :Luv: :rofl:
-
Awwwwww! I want them :Luv:
By the way Lynn, Mia says Cody had better keep his philandering paws off Kali!!
Déborah xx
-
By the way Lynn, Mia says Cody had better keep his philandering paws off Kali!!
I should hope so too - Kali's only 10 weeks!
Helen - have you left them on their own in the house yet? I'm sure you'll have to go out to get something soon - some food shopping maybe? If you could just mention when so that I know when they'll be on their own.... ;) :evillaugh:
-
awwwww i :catluv: the photos
i love the one of them sleeping really close to each other right on the edge of the bed :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
dont worry too much about no pooh poohs they will proberly go by tonight
2 of my cats i got as kittens never went a pooh pooh for about 36 hrs when i first got them
then it was so small comapred to wat i was use to with the others that i had a job to find it buried under all the litter :evillaugh:
-
:wow: wow helen, those kittens and pictures are so completely adorable! That Kali's a little Heartbreaker if ever i saw one!!! such a beauty and Riley deff looks like a mischeif maker! very happy for you ;D
-
They look beautiful Helen :Luv: Love the pic of them sleeping
-
Susanne i'm in ;)
Deborah Cody says to tell mia not too worry and that kali would be far too young for him anyway.
Helen..I just cannot think for a minute that kali could be a boy, ive studied and studied the pair of them and there are such obvious masculine and feminine differences in bone & jaw structure. Kalis too pretty to be a bruiser :evillaugh:
-
Just tried to compare but it's really difficult a) to keep them still and b) Riley has dark fur around that area and Kali has light so it's hard to compare K to R. She has got a definite sticky out bit though :scared: Will find out for definite tomorrow at the vets!
Here's a few more pics, there were two lovely little poo's in the litter tray so they have been allowed to go into the rest of the house. Some friends came over to see them earlier today and were taking loads of pics on my camera, they got some really good ones...
This is Riley playing on the TOP level of their super duper tall scratcher - they are both up there now. :Luv:
(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n102/tigs78/Babies118Medium.jpg)
Here's Kali peeping out from behind the blinds, this shows how small she really is :Luv:
(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n102/tigs78/Babies128Medium.jpg)
-
Hi Helen, Kali and Riley are just soooooo beautiful :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
What fantastic pics - I think you have a pair of litter stunners on your hands. Enjoy Helen :)
-
there were two lovely little poo's in the litter tray so they have been allowed to go into the rest of the house.
You just know that Helen has been dooped... I mean.. lovely? Helen, HONEY!!! I love it when Lexy poos but I have never called them lovely. Yep, Susanne, I think that Helen gone batty, its time to go rescue these kittens!
-
awwwww fab pics :Luv: i love the one of kali behind the blinds awww she looks tiny :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
im glad theyve gone a pooh now :evillaugh:
awwwww so they r now exploring the rest of the house
that will keep em busy :evillaugh:
am i missing something
ive read a few posts
i saw one from lynn saying she defo thinks kali is a girl
do u think they r two boys then helen ?????? :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
she looks too femme to be a boy :Luv:
-
I well remember looking forward to the first poowhen the boys arrived! It signals so much; health, being at ease in their surroundings etc. Take no notice Helen, poos are fab!
Have to say I had to go back to the initial posts to discover who was who as it wasn't immediately apparent to me :-[
Just bear in mind our Freddie had really rather large bits before they was chopped and he looks such a girl, my mom always refers to him as "she"
-
I'm not sure Lisa. Kali's 'bits' are quite pronounced and sticky out. I've tried to compare it to the online guides but she doesn't look like either! Going to the vets tomorrow to be vaccinated so will double check then. She is so delicate and feminine I'd say she definitely looks like a girl but will find out for definite tomorrow! Compared to Riley she is quite a bit smaller, her head is smaller and her feautures are really dainty - it doesn't show as well in photos as it does in real life. I'm not saying she is a boy as I really wouldn't know one way or the other but I don't recall Tiggy's bits being that pronounced.
Take no notice Helen, poos are fab!
Thanks Rosella, they were lovely poos - textbook perfect and buried too :evillaugh:
-
oh i see
well at least u will know 100 percent tommorow when u see your vet
id defo say she was a little girly though
shes so petite and femme :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
OMG they are GORGEOUS ...I want them ..
Tiggy would be very happy with you taking these two gorgeous little monkey's on :)
-
Helen, they are beautiful and sounds like they are such lovely little personalities too,, I'm so pleased for you.
-
Helen, that latest pic of Kali reminds of of the first one I ever took of Mia :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
(http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p182/Melisande_00/Mia001.jpg)
They do look remarkably similar! I would be very surprised if Kali turned out to be a girl, like everybody else, I think she seems so dainty and feminine!
Déborah xx
-
Good luck at the vets today and with here's hoping there's not going to be a gender realignment for Kali! She does look like a female to me too but I'll admit I'm crap at sexing cats from face shape etc. somone on another forum posted a quiz where you had to guess whether they were boys or girls and I got loads wrong :rofl:
-
I cared for a housemates cat for a period of time, and set up a "spay" for it. I was shopping and got a call from the vets saying Charlie was, in fact, a boy and did I still want to go ahead with the necessary op?! After the initial embarassment I said "of course!"
Charlie was known for the time we had him afterwards as "Camp Cat!" :rofl:
Good luck at the vets today, Helen! ;D
-
JS that happens all the time so your vet would have been well used to it ;)
Helen what time is your app today ?
If kali has extra bits then i dont think we should tell her :evillaugh:
-
Kali is a boy! :shy: I've started a new thread for naming suggestions... http://www.chaptanservices.com/purrs/index.php?topic=3990.msg61671#new
-
Gorgeous pics Helen - so glad I have broadband now, I wouldnt 'have seen half of them otherwise!!
