Title: Meet my new babies!
Post by: Zenith (Liz) on June 19, 2008, 18:00:47 PM
Some of you may remember a few months ago I said I was getting a kitten and calling him Nova.

Well he finally arrived this Sunday - and I somehow ended up being given his sister too!  I've named her Mia for now.

I'm glad they're together as they keep each other company while i'm out at work - Although they still have more than enough energy to play when I come home!

Here are a few pics, it's getting difficult to type as he's sleeping on my shoulder now!

They love each other :)

Will they be indoor babes?

Love the babies and love that bed! :Luv2: :Luv2: Sadly no TKMAXX near me. How much are they anyway? Mum in law lives near one, could ask her!

Thanks for the compliments  :briggin:  I'm sure they'd say thanks too but they're too busy scoffing minced new zealand lamb down  :evillaugh:

Yes they'll be indoor cats, I do have a garden but I worry enough about my mums cats who go outside, let alone wanting to worry about my own!  I do have a harness for if they really want to go outside when older but I'm hoping the mountain of toys here will amuse them

Love the babies and love that bed! :Luv2: :Luv2: Sadly no TKMAXX near me. How much are they anyway? Mum in law lives near one, could ask her!

They also have other types of Chilli cat and Chilli dog beds - they really are top quality and far superior to anything else I have seen. I bought the donut ones as I can put them in the washing machine - they were only £9.99 - Petplanet were selling the donuts for £24.99 but I assume Chilli cat went bust and that's why TK Maxx are selling them. They also have another brand of huge top-notch dog beds that are like memory foam mattresses with a waterproof cover.

Bottom pic is Kylie with her small dog bed  :Luv2:

Middle one is Alice next to her bed - after 6 months, she has finally realised what it is for. I assume her old owners never gave her a bed.

Ooh I like the dogbed mark.

I've just come home from work to a stinky house - i'd forgotten that kittens manage to make much more of a stink than adult cats!   :evillaugh:  *Goes to clean litter tray again*

Tell me that after they almost gave me a heart attack - the cooker hob was burning hot so I shut the kitchen door, Mia managed to open the door open and jumped straight onto the cooker top - I really dont know how she managed to not get burnt! :-[

Mia's just too fast for me to get many pictures of - Nova on the other hand is too slow to hide  :evillaugh:

Thanks!

His paws are huge - I love playing with them :)

Something really random is that Nova is slowly turning ginger, it's so odd but cute!  Look at the colour of his face!  His dad was a brown tabby and his mum was the cat below, I thought Nova's brown mush as a baby was milk  :shy:

Is Nova a blue silver? Silvers can get tarnishing (the browny reddy bits) to various degrees from small areas of it just around the mouth to the whole cat looking like it's a pale brown tabby!

Can't believe how fast they are growing up, starting to get lovely little snowshoes  :) How old are they now?
Title: Re: Meet my new babies!
Post by: Tiggy's Mum on August 15, 2008, 18:16:06 PM
Lucas is what I'd call a grey/silver tabby and he has some peachy coloured bits too - mainly the fluffy saggy bit on his tummy  :Luv2:
Title: Re: Meet my new babies!
Post by: Zenith (Liz) on August 15, 2008, 18:25:19 PM
Nova was originally called a silver tabby but I think his papers say blue tabby, I'm not sure now but he isn't very blue compared to Mia.  The blue silver sounds about right thanks for the information :)

They'll be 6 months old next week :)  I had Nova neutered last week but Mia's still not big enough to be, I think she is large enough but compared to her brother she's miniature, so the vet was probably erring on the safe size. He jumped out of the carrier from the vets, ate lots of food, then curled up on my chest lol  :Luv2: He's just a snugglebug - while his sister's the delinquent teenager who wants to stay up late and cause you grief - I love her just as much  :Luv:

Post by: Team Svartalfheims on August 15, 2008, 18:43:45 PM
Awww pretty much the same age as my Pinball then as he'll be 6 months old on the 25th  :) I think boys are always much more cuddly than girls. Not too long now and they'll all start to go madly furry  ;D
Title: Re: Meet my new babies!
Post by: Zenith (Liz) on August 15, 2008, 19:00:07 PM
I do love the boys :)  I would have loved to have had Star off you if he'd been available - while I was waiting to hear if the other lady definately wanted him I was planning my train timetables from London to where you live lol   :doh:  One day i'd love to travel to see your darlings,I'm always checking your website to see if there are any new photos or information :)

I do love my two though, they're so different but inseparable!  They have a little fan club amongst my friends:  My friends who came up this weekend are both allergic to cats but Rache kept taking her antihistamines so she could have cuddles  :Luv2:

Your boys are shorthaired so wont get fluffy like zeniths NFCs

The best thing about that is when they have diarrhoea it wont stick in their trousers!!  ;D

You're welcome to visit if you wish, Funko wont kidnap them as he's allergic - I love how the cats target him when he comes to stay with us though lol, he's a cat magnet.

I'm now trying to wear them out with a laser pen before bed ...It's a hard life  :Luv:

I had my little Mia neutered today, the vet told me she'd be slightly woozy and I should make her rest.  She's jumping around like a loony and is absolutely fine :)  :evillaugh:

I'm keeping an eye on her though, I cancelled my plans for the weekend so I can be close to her  :Luv2: Not that its appreciated lol

Thank you  :shy:

Her brothers currently grooming her so I keep hovering making sure he doesnt catch her wound.  Its clean and there's no bleeding but Its slightly swollen :(

I'm glad my vets require two follow up checks to see how she is, one in 3 days and 1 in 7 :)
