Belle nearly gave me a heart attack during the night, felt something funny on the side of my face, woke up with a jump and she was licking me.

:rofl: Belle sounds like she'll be the brave one who tests everything out before the others  :rofl:

You must be having so much fun Karen, they're brilliant when kittens, an absolute handful right enough  ;D

You nutter!  :rofl:  :1st place: :heeee heeee:  :cheer:
  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ellie, their names are Meeko (black and white) Daisy (tortie) and Belle's the lil grey and white one. All 3 ventured downstairs today for the first time.  Belle nearly gave me a heart attack during the night, felt something funny on the side of my face, woke up with a jump and she was licking me. All of them are really cuddly. And all 3 are also using the littertray, I haven't seen one mess outside of it yet. Meeko and Daisy are overly struck on the kitten food yet, whereas Belle loves it. They're the picture of health so they must be getting enough, and are still feeding plenty from Jasmine.

Aww, that's so sweet, Tiggy's mum, thank you  :hug:

Glad to hear that you're keeping them, they'll have a good home.  :yesss:

When the time comes that you let them into the big outdoors, watch their ears. Put high factor suncream on them. I notice that all but one has white ears.

Lots of fun to come!  :rofl:

Congratulations Karen, you lucky thing  ;D  I don't blame you, I think I'd probably do the same if I were in your shoes.  They are all beautiful, no surprise with a gorgeous Mum like Jasmine  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:  I think it's quite funny really, one minute you are feeding a stray cat that comes to visit you and the next moment you are proud Mum giving a fantastic forever home to four!

Thought you'd like to know, my kitten who I thought was a girl is now called Lucas, he is grey too so it's kind of like he is carrying on the memory of the little one that didn't make it  :hug:

I've known for a couple of weeks now - ever since I've been able to handle them more - that I couldn't give them away. Never in a million years could I pick the ones to give away. And they seem to like it here, when I come up to the bedroom they all come skipping out from under the bed  :rofl: Skipping's the best way I can describe it, wouldn't call it running but it's as fast as their little legs will go  :Luv:

I don't have to choose, Tan, cos I'm not giving any away. I can't. I love them all. I've got pet insurance now for Jasmine, and I can add them onto the policy at 8 weeks old, which was what was worrying me about keeping them - unexpected vet bills.


Brilliant !!!!!

As i have said before i kept all 4 of Isseys kittens.
Jasmine will love keeping her babies, its lovely watching them grow with their Mummy

They're 6 weeks old today!  ;D
And soooo cute, they've all got their own little personalities already. Daisy's really shy, Meeko's so cuddly and likes to be close to people, he grabs my finger with his lil paw and snuggles up to it. Belle is a little monkey, she is into absolutely everything! She's the only one that's ventured down the stairs so far. Jasmine's doing great, too. Although I think she's looking for a mate, she's been shouting alot at nighttime and she's usually so quiet. But she's not been outside so all's ok that way. She needs to go for neutering in a fortnight.

I don't have to choose, Tan, cos I'm not giving any away. I can't. I love them all. I've got pet insurance now for Jasmine, and I can add them onto the policy at 8 weeks old, which was what was worrying me about keeping them - unexpected vet bills.

I haven't posted any photos in a week or two cos I don't really have any good ones. They really don't sit still long enough to get them, and they sleep under the bed so I can't get in to take any, but here's the best of what I have....

Awwww .... I've just spent the past hour reading the entire thread!  well done Karenjet - you've done amazingly well  ;D  So sorry little Lucas didn't make it, but he'll be well looked after at the Rainbow Bridge.  The kittybabes are absolutely gorgeous!  Belle is stunning!  Although Daisy looks more like a tabby to me?  Beautiful, beautiful babies!  Bet they're worth all the trouble!  ;)

These lil fluffy bundles are so mischievious already! They've been out and exploring the room. I love to watch them with each other though, so cute and funny. Jasmine was sat watching Daisy last night, and I don't know what Daisy did but Jasmine reached out her paw and gave her a slap! Daisy is much more active than the other 2, she's always on the move.

Had to share these couple of pics I took today. I tried to creep up and get this one before anyone woke up...


And the best one so far of Meeko...
