Title: Our new kittens!!
Post by: BenandJerry on February 23, 2016, 13:54:24 PM
Hello,
 
My name is Jack. My partner and I recently collected 2 gorgeous little ginger kittens at the weekend, they are brothers and we have called them Ben and Jerry. You can tell them apart as Jerry has little white socks and Ben is a very light ginger all over.
 
Here's a few pictures of the two of them just after they settled in to their new home. Jerry is very playful, whereas Ben just likes to eat and sleep all day!

We also made a little video as we want to record them as they grow up :)

Oh boy, oh boy oh boy!!!!   Ginger tittentats!!!   Fabulous fluffy ginger tittentats!!    Hi Jack, and welcome to Purrs.  Ben and Jerry are adorable.  Thank you for posting piccies - we lurve piccies here (can you tell?)  I just know when more people see these, you're going to be swamped with love and admiration for your babies.  Tell us more about them - how did you get them and when?

We got them on Sunday, so have only had them 2 days so far! As we both work they were left on their own for a bit in the day but we got back and they had been as good as gold. Ben is a very sleepy cat, in fact all he does is eat and sleep! His brother Jerry is very playful, and is gaining in confidence. They are both adorable though, we can't wait to get home each day and see what they've been up too!!

They love sleeping under our kitchen table on the chairs or under the sofa. Must be cosy!

We will try and post more videos of them as they grow up too!

Its so nice to have a pair of kittens to entertain each other (and you!) Not that my siblings even sleep in the same room now, now they are all growed up.....!

Yes we always wanted to get two kittens fromt he same family so they would grow up together and have each other for company, it's so much fun watching them!

I'm well known for ma partiality to gingers  :Luv2: - gud job you dont live near me, or I may come away with pockets-full of kitten  :evillaugh:   :car:

It's so lovely having two kittens - twice the trouble but twice the pleasure too  ;) :evillaugh:

You should take lots and lots of piccies - not just because they grow so quickly (and they do) but because we just love piccies, especially when babies are this cute!   :wow:

We have Moray - an all growed up cat in his two's, and two Gurlcats who are 6 months old, and who we got as kittens about the size of Ben and Jerry.  They're so full of mischief.  :shify:

Be prepared to "cat proof" every possible area in your house that you can think of, and then do those you'd never imagine a kitten could access and you'll be doing alright.  :evillaugh:

Aww thanks for all the kind words! Yes we have already had to kitten proof our entire kitchen, blocking up every possible gap with cardboard and gaffa tape. They seem to be occupied playing together at the moment which is great and we've left them alone in the day when we are at work and haven't come back to any destruction yet!!! They spent most of the evening last night playing hide and seek under a sofa which was hilarious.

More pictures to come later! :)   :innocent:

 :wow:       

When Paddy and Flynn were kittens "Back in the day" I used to get home to find my curtains pulled down and allsorts.  Our neighbours used to be chuckling like mad at their antics.   :tired:

The Gurls just knock things over, off and askew.  Pester the life out of their big bruvva and fly up and down the stairs growling and chirruping with excitement when the game is on.  It certainly livens up the house.......  ;)

Oh my, what little stunners!! They’re adorable  :Luv2:

So nice to see some kitten pics and can’t wait to see more. It’s a great idea taking lots of photos and video as they grow so quickly.
I have 2 boys – Chester and Beau - who are now 6 months, but they were the size of Ben & Jerry when we got them in October and I’m so glad we’ve got loads of pics and video of them as they’ve developed.

Ahhh yes, cardboard and gaffa tape….all very familiar. We’ve only recently removed the last of ours. We didn’t have any destruction with our two either….at first  :rofl:

Sue’s curtain comment made me laugh, we have a similar issue with our blinds. Chester has kept our neighbours entertained by repeatedly hanging from them  :Crazy:

Can’t wait to hear all about their progress. And keep the pictures coming, I keep thinking I'm going to bore people to death with pictures on my boys thread, but us Purrs peeps love a kitty pic

Two kittens growing up are lovely together but it is a constant battle for the first few months because they are always up to mischief.  :rofl:   We had a great time with my last pair. Just got  Billy for last nearly ten years now though. He can't get into Norty club on here.  Hope you have lots of fun with your two new kittens. There was no digital cameras when our kitties were born.  :hug:
