The latest pictures of these two.  I can't believe how big they have got and how they are already crawling around and holding their heads up.

Both Willow and Truman Jnr have now opened their eyes and I can't believe how big they are, now I have another one day old in, - they look huuuuge :shocked:  Willl try to update with photos soon.

Am pleased to announce that Willow has been reserved and is going to live with one of my kittens from last year when she is old enough. :Luv2:  I know she will be spoilt rotten so I am dead chuffed.

Truman Jnr has started opening his eyes today but Willow has decided there is nothing worth seeing yet  :rofl:

Not much to report on Truman Jnr and Willow, all they do is sleep and eat  :Luv2: Mum is being very good although she does leave them for quite long periods and sleeps on the floor next to them, but it never seems to bother them, they just sleep and dream alot, they are always twitching :rofl: and they are always snuggled up together which is so sweet.  Looking at them now, Willow looks like she will be bigger than Truman Jnr.

Finally pleased to introduce to you Truman (named after a very special man :Luv2: :Luv2:) and Willow (hope you approve Mark, you did choose the name in the auction a couple of years ago and I thought it was an appropriate time  :hug:).

Thanks Leslie  :hug:

This is really weird  :scared: - I had a nightmare last night that woke me up and it took me ages to get back to sleep. I was in the vets next door and there was a cat that was in a tiny carrier - it may have been a hamster cage  :Crazy: - I went for a closer look and it was our Willow. I took her out thinking that we must have been wrong when we thought she had died. I took her out of the carrier and brought her into the house to show OH. When I looked again, she was a tortie  :Crazy: - Somehow she managed to get away and I was running around a strange park with houses looking for her - I think that is when I woke up. I told OH about it this morning and just have said how spooky - OH said (sarcastically  :evillaugh: ) that I am psychic  :evillaugh:

I know it sounds far fetched and  :Crazy:

Truman is the black and white rascal and Willow the lovely little tortie.

Thanks Julie, that's what I thought.  I think I have managed to wean one of them onto another teat. :thanks:

Sounds like they've both imprinted themselves to go to the same teat. I'd try expressing a little bit from a different teat so they can taste it and latching one of them on to it. I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually.  :hug: :hug:

Bit worried this evening.  Both kittens seems to be continually fighting over one teat and I have tried squeezing other ones and they do seem to have milk but they just keep going back to this one.  Is it just sibling rivalry or should I be worried?

It's amazing to see how different they are even after just a few hours old.  The little boy is a real rascal and always wants the teat his sister has got and spends ages trying to get her off it.  He's got seven others to choose from  :rofl:

You must be emotionally exhausted but this sounds like great news. Hopefully that's her little family complete for now.

(I did once have another kitten arrive 28 hours after what I thought was the last and thankfully all was well)

The black and white one must be a male, squeaking his little head off and not able to work out what a teat is for.  Meanwhile, little tortie is eating for all she is worth. :Luv:
