floss has finally used the tray, she was meeowing a bit this morning, i think it was cause she had an upset tummy, bless.

tepe is eating both of their foods, boys!

they are both playing with little toys, still not interested in me yet

how cute are they

Takes me back to when the boys were babies

I could only get my boys to drink kitten milk at first, I think they became addicted to it so I had to wean them off it as they got a bit older.

Looking forward to hearing more about them as they settle in

Gorgeous little babies and what fab names

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2008, 10:46:44 AM »

OMG they are gorgeous ... lovely names as well.

I'm glad they are settling in well ... I love the pic of them in the cat bed

tepe used the litter tray! 1&2 (sorry)

not interested in kitten milk or water yet

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2008, 08:28:16 AM »

If the first food they've eaten since they got to their new home is this morning, then it may just be the newness again which has meant they haven't used their litter tray yet. Once they've finished brekkie, you could try picking them up and popping them on the tray, or giving their tunnies a little rub to stimulate their digestive and elimination tract.

Make sure they've plenty of fresh clean water available. You can also try and persuade them with some junior catmilk too. Hopefully they should be weeing and pooping as normal very soon. You might find they're a bit loose though at first, due to change of diet. Kittens can dehydrate very quickly, so just keep a careful eye on them and they should be fine.

Don't worry about the toilet thing. Gravity will take care of that in due course.

They're adorable. Good luck with OH.

toothfairy · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2008, 08:20:55 AM »

i came down this morning and sat on the kitchen floor in their eye line so they could see me putting food down for them and they came up and stated eating...few.

although they haven't been to the toilet yet, brought them home about 8 last night, should i be worried????? and i don't think they have had any water, am concerned.

glad to hear your oral hygiene is good!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2008, 08:13:29 AM »

I use those tepe things!

Only thought of white wine 'cos they is lil white babies!

Ah, I see - like that witht he OH, eh? Well, lets hope at least one of them adores their Daddy to bits - nothing wins them round faster than having the total adoration of a cat!

Anyway, hope Floss and Tepe come out of their shells a bit more today,a nd that you have a great day off with them.

Hannikat · « **Reply #13 on:** July 08, 2008, 08:08:07 AM »

Awwwww those names are REALLY cute!! I'm glad you got to pick them yourself anyway!!! it's taken us two weeks to agree on two names we both like!!

toothfairy · « **Reply #12 on:** July 08, 2008, 08:04:54 AM »

huh...wine not thought of that i prefer red so i might go for Merlot...

lol, their names are Floss (girl) Tepe (boy) (an interdental brush we reccomend as alternative to using dental floss)

I am a dental nurse and it just came to me that they were cute 'short' names hopefully they will stick and my hubby doesn't mind calling them that.

he works away and doesn't know we have kittens....eek!

i got similar makings so hopefully after the shock of realsing we have a kitten he might just think we have one for a few days and not two, might soften the blow if he realises it on his own!!!!!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2008, 07:06:55 AM »

They're gorgeous babies! Please tell me they aren't called Chardonnay and Gerwurtzraminer

It'll just be because everything's new, and they don't have Mum there for reference any more. You're their Mum now, but they'll need a little time to readjust and then you won't be able to do anything at all without two little shadows!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #10 on:** July 08, 2008, 02:19:22 AM »

Aw bless em they are gorgeous!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #9 on:** July 08, 2008, 00:00:15 AM »

Typical LOL.......you get them a nice comfy bed and they go into the most uncomfy place they can be

How old are they?

Maybe you need to put some blankets into all that space cos they are probably used to being all cuddly with the rest of their family

They look so cute, what are their names?

toothfairy · « **Reply #8 on:** July 07, 2008, 23:37:45 PM »

woo hoo i did it!

the scene has changed they are now both asleep in the bottom shelf of the wine rack, not ideal but i will let them rest there for tonight. i will sit on the floor with them tomorrow like you suggested, i have the day off work.

i am so happy they are here

toothfairy · « **Reply #7 on:** July 07, 2008, 23:33:20 PM »

ooh thank you Sam, i have now uploaded them to photobucket and will try again..........

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #6 on:** July 07, 2008, 23:06:33 PM »

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #4 on:** July 07, 2008, 22:33:57 PM »

Worked for me!!

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #3 on:** July 07, 2008, 22:33:16 PM »

Ahhhh bless em ... they will come round soon .... the best thing you can do is sit on the floor and let them come to you ... if you are doing something interesting like reading they will come and see what you are upto.

Patience is a virtue

Bazsmum · « **Reply #2 on:** July 07, 2008, 22:30:31 PM »

Fantastic news....Yes they will be hissy at first until they get to know you! Piccies are a must!

toothfairy · « **Reply #1 on:** July 07, 2008, 22:18:41 PM »

Finally they are here.....

although i don't think that like me, they hiss at me i know they are probably just scared to be away from their mummy but i want them to know that i am friend not foe.

i have put the litter tray out, fresh wet and dry food out bed and blankets.....
