oh boy, oh boy, oh boy - what wunnerful videos.  :evillaugh:  And what a little treasure Minimopsical is  :hug: :hug:

Ruth - in my opinion, you didn't take a big enough handbag - you'd never have got them all in there, even if Aunty T hadn't been watching!  :rofl:

Hercules is at least 5/6weeks older than Hester, but they were brought to me in the same carrier so no point in splitting them up as both were so very ill.

Gold in that handbag... It was huge, I thought Kitty was planning on moving in!  :evillaugh:

Absolutely loved the vids, they had me grinning from ear to ear.... I loved the one where Mini was giving a swipe out!  :Luv2:

Isnt Hercules a lot bigger than Hester, but for what she loses in height she gains in valour!  ;) :Luv2: :hug:

Think Aunty Ruth has got some footage of these 2.

And wait til you all see them. Another miracle at the Inn.  Going to upload them shortly, will take a little while but soon as I have it will post. And if we're lucky we'll see Minimopsical vying for a bit of camera time, a bit hard to do as she was on my lap at the time!

As I suspect you realised they would be, Teresa, those pictures of Hercules are a really wonderful birthday present  :Luv:

He looks just like a little Blip now  :Luv:

Good to see Hester on fine form too.

I met Hercules and Hester on the day we picked up Ripley and I have never ever in my life seen such poorly kittens,  ( I think they had been taken in by T the day before),  they were in a sperate room in isolation at Paws Inn and I wasnt allowed to touch them,  T had spent a lot of time with them cleaning them up and feeding them and I think she had been up most of the night with them,   T was so careful with the isolation process that she had even had a bath and changed all her clothes before she would go anywhere near the other cats at Paws.  I can not believe these pictures are of the two little poorly kittens I saw that day,  it really is a miracle,  they look like they are having real fun and I am pleased Minimopscial has some new charges to terrorise her after JO Ripley.

JO Ripley sends you hugs T and he says to Hester and Hercules ..........  if yuz givs Minimopiscal just one of ur biskits per day she liks ur ed fur ya !!

Was so exhausted after 4 nights of sitting up with Garcia and didnt know where the strength was going to come from to do mucking out this morning. Well Hercules gave it to me, first I thought I was imagining it, then I thought it must have been Minimopsical and then as it became deeper and louder I knew for sure and the tears flowed as I cuddled my boy.

Hercules has finally PURRED
