They are gorgeous Dawn and looking so much better already, (thinks quietly mmmm will Dawn & Phil be able to part with these 2 ???)
Your TLC is obviously working wonders for them xxx

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #111 on:** November 29, 2007, 15:12:03 PM »

Awww

They look so lovely and at home. These two are going to come on in leaps and bounds with your TLC I'm sure.

All the siamese I have known are extremely chatty, many with very loud and rather "unique" voices.

I am sure your household will be very lively soon!!

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #109 on:** November 29, 2007, 14:24:33 PM »

They are gorgeous

and it sounds like they are coming on in leaps and bounds now that they're under the care of you and Phil. I can't wait to see them!

Cheesecat · « **Reply #108 on:** November 29, 2007, 14:13:01 PM »

I love calling her a "healthyfood tortie"

They are both very quiet (except for purrs) unless you try to bathe them. I think they may become more chatty once they are settled

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #107 on:** November 29, 2007, 13:06:05 PM »

Awwww they look so happy in those pictures. Really like the colour of the choc tortie girl. Are they a very talkative pair?

Cheesecat · « **Reply #106 on:** November 29, 2007, 13:02:09 PM »

Yes these two definitely need each other - they are like a 2 piece kitty jigsaw, they love snuggling up together

They are always going back and checking the other one is okay too if they are on seperate sides of the room, they mostly follow each other around - they are so cute!

dolcetta46 · « **Reply #105 on:** November 29, 2007, 12:59:11 PM »

They are beautiful!! I can see some confidence is building in them too, keep up the awesome work, Dawn and Phil, and

!!

clarenmax · « **Reply #104 on:** November 29, 2007, 09:20:42 AM »

They are adorable

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #103 on:** November 29, 2007, 08:01:25 AM »

Aww, bless them.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #102 on:** November 29, 2007, 01:43:48 AM »

These two do seem particularly sensitive but I honestly think with some tlc and lots of cuddles, they will settle down and you'll see a big difference in them

They definitely need a nice quiet household as I think too much going on or too much noise would freak them out. They don't seem to know how you are going to react although as I've mentioned they are so much better than they were last week, Dawn said they're not hiding away as much now whereas if they went in the room earlier on in the week, they would disappear but would come out with some coaxing. I still can't believe the lady said they would be okay split, they absolutely adore each other and I think it would have been a crime to separate them.........they have to be together bless them

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #101 on:** November 29, 2007, 01:28:31 AM »

They are looking good and siamese are such sensitive souls.

I hope their tummies are improving, great job the Dawns and Phil

Here's some piccies of the scrummy babes, they are so much better and actually have little tummies on them

They are soooooooo gorgeous, how anyone can resist their gorgeous little mushes and sweet personalities is beyond me. They are coming out of their shell a lot more and Dawn and Phil have made such a difference to them already, they seem so much calmer and are happy to sit there when you walk into the room rather than running away.......it's so lovely to see them

I have some treats for our cats courtesy of their Auntie Susanne so maybe we will all have some treats (except runny bums Fiz and Erick) I was in the supermarket yesterday and it was so hard to resist buying them treats - I keep forgetting that I have to watch everything they eat - no fun there, I wanted to buy felix lickins

They do Advocaat, whisky and some other ones........all are extremely scrummy, I bought some for Lainey after mentioning them to her but have eaten them so I'll have to get her some more

Half of me is thinking

Lesley I will PM you

LesleyW · « **Reply #93 on:** November 27, 2007, 19:33:48 PM »

I've got some old towels from the hairdressers next door to us, he gave them to me when they changed colours. If you want I can get some in the post to you. I know exactly what you are going through, Tarka is just the same - sometimes he has just a little run from his bum, sometimes he seems to be covered in hard poo, sorry probably too much detail

. Let me know if you want me to send the towels, you could just use these and then ditch them if you want.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #92 on:** November 27, 2007, 19:21:50 PM »

Dawn & Phil, I am so pleased for you both.....the new fur fosters are beautiful......and may I just say "well done" for getting back on the horse....you have found your true forte (SP?)

Don't they sell tents too.....

Cheesecat · « **Reply #88 on:** November 26, 2007, 12:30:59 PM »

I am near to an IKEA when working at Warrington so I can maybe go there and stockpile after payday

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #87 on:** November 26, 2007, 12:26:55 PM »

It may be worth trying to get some old towels, sheets from the charity shops........I'll see if I can muster some up from somewhere.

Dawn F · « **Reply #86 on:** November 26, 2007, 12:23:53 PM »

awww, I've always wanted a siamese, I love them, good luck with sorting out the tummies!

Schmew · « **Reply #85 on:** November 25, 2007, 20:14:38 PM »

Dawn - Ikea were doing white hand towels for 29p each. Wash and dry quick!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #84 on:** November 25, 2007, 19:12:44 PM »

Aww!!

clarenmax · « **Reply #83 on:** November 25, 2007, 18:50:44 PM »

They sound adorable Dawn, can't wait to see some more piccies

Cheesecat · « **Reply #82 on:** November 25, 2007, 18:46:52 PM »

I'll have a look - maybe we can buy a set and have them on rotation with washing etc.

They have a towel that I have been using the dry them off after their baths - its on radiator now so I can use that one tonight if he wants to snuggle me

I had Erick all wrapped up in the towel after his bath and I snuggled him tight and he gave a big purrrrrrrrrrrrr

clarenmax · « **Reply #81 on:** November 25, 2007, 18:37:42 PM »

Primark do some really cheap towels, as do Tesco as well I think?

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #80 on:** November 25, 2007, 18:14:19 PM »

Asda's white basics towels are really cheap

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #79 on:** November 25, 2007, 18:06:51 PM »

Aww, bless them. It might be worthwhile having some old towels to put on your knee so he can sit on it - if you can get some really old/cheap ones, you could just throw them to save your washign machine.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #78 on:** November 25, 2007, 16:55:34 PM »

Whispering ............maybe they are improving already

Cheesecat · « **Reply #77 on:** November 25, 2007, 16:14:10 PM »

Helen - Doh!!!

I will PM her now

thanks for the heads up...

I have been leaving the dry food down all the time (and water) and then giving them the RC recovery twice a day - they arent really munching and munching on it - they just seem to graze all day

I have tried baby wipes Des, unfortunately it is a bit too bad for that

it doesnt really get any of it off them. I dont think they help matters by being little jigsaw snugglers and then spreading it all over each other

I am waiting for Phil to come home so I can wash them in the bath - its definitely a two person job with these wigglers

been trying to wipe them down a bit myself today but I will be much happier once they have had a real wash (even if they will ignore me for a while after!)

They seemed to come out of their shells a bit today - they didnt run away when the door opened and came all the way over to me for a fuss without my coaxing or going over to them

Erick is dying to get on my lap and I feel guilty because I cant always let him or I will run out of clothes. Fiz loves a fuss too and wil come out if Erick is out

I dont want to feel excited in advance but I covered the floor of their room in paper so I can just replace dirty sheets (the carpet is a pain to scrub) as they seem to constantly be sort of dripping without realising

this afternoon i've gone in and rather than loads of little bits around the floor there was one pile (sorry if this is too much info!) but I thought that was good as it wasnt quite so watery and everywhere. Fingers crossed please

Gillian, I have heard of Lacto B - been trying to see where online is the cheapest - thanks for the link. I am seeing how they go on this diet but its an option if these is no improvement

I will ask Sheryl if she tried that for her babes.

Gillian - who is that a piccie of? What a cutie!

That was my lovely Suzie RIP.

Dawn, I guess you know about the Lacto B probitoic which is used by several peeps on here? - spect someone's already advised about it, but just in case they havent, would be worth a go in their food. http://www.petmeds.co.uk/Products/Lacto-B

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #75 on:** November 25, 2007, 10:26:00 AM »

I would try small regular meals to be honest, in case they gorge themselves with food left down all the time, especially when they aren't used to it.
Dawn, are they dirty enough to need a full wash, or could you get round it with baby wipes?

Err, Sheryl

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #73 on:** November 25, 2007, 01:34:00 AM »

Dawn, I expect their bums to be spotless when I come over for cuddles tomorrow

Only joking

I feel awful now, I really hope they will settle down. Sean was saying yesterday though which is understandable, their tummies will probably be worse for a few days with the stress of moving them. I think once they get into a regular routine of eating, they will slowly improve. I think the breeder was possibly restricting their food intake, I may be wrong but the less going in, the less to come out but by doing this, their digestive system will be causing havoc. I was annoyed yesterday when she informed me before I set off that they hadn't had any food since the night before because of the travelling, it's no wonder they were starving bless them

I'm not sure what's the best way to approach it, whether it's wise to leave food down constantly which I would be tempted to do until they get a little bit of meat on them, or to restrict to 3 small meals daily

Maybe Sheryl will have an idea how to go about it, I think it's worth getting in touch, sorry, I'm not sure what her name is on here either

and to find out what food and supplements she's used on her little babes. I'll see you tomorrow anyway and

to you and Phil, xxxxxxxxx
