I bet if Luna wasn't purring & stopping you from sleeping you would be most upset!  :rofl:

Lovely to see some photos of your two  :Luv2:

Loo roll is the one and only thing Chester hasn't discovered yet. He's overcome with excitement when he gets near kitchen towel so I dread to think  :rofl:

Can't beat cats for therapy. Purrs can heal just about anything  :hug:

You don't always need to get out of the house necessarily, just out of yourself. People can help with that, but kittens are even better!

Well the McKitties have their feet fully under the table now.....or should I say on top of it!! :evillaugh: Things are going well with a nice little routine established. We bought a tree for the bedroom with two beds on it as having two dogs and two cats on the bed was getting ridiculous, we were curled up like squirresl in a ball trying to get to sleep! Well the tree didn't work in the slightest, they just used it to launch off to get onto the bed! We then decided to get two dog beds, which has worked a treat with the cats sumptuously sprawled on their own across the bed just as they'd planned!

We were doing well on the Bozita with a few biscuits in between but we noticed a bit of blood at the end of Archies stools and thought he was a bit thin. The vet felt that such a high protein diet was straining his system at his age and he wasn't putting on enough weight. So all change, much to my disappointment, they are both
now on Felix AGAIL but more importantly love it and are thriving on it....and no more blood.

Staffa and Archie are still really close and can often be seen entwined on the sofa. Luna is still more aloof except when it's crazy playtime and she whistles round the house and don't get in her way or she'll climb up your leg! At night she's a real snuggler too and cuddles in under my chin and I can't get to sleep for her purring.

This is the latest occupation, Archie sits behind you whilst your on the loo and dives for the end of the loo paper and runs away like an Andrex puppy, then the two of them go mad, trailing it all over the house!

Just love having them though and they are certainly my therapy cats. I'm still not going out much (no wonder, it's minus 5!) so I've got entertainment or cuddles all day.  ;D

I am so jealous, Bob is all growed up at 1 and Pippa is a big (to me) 6 month old, nearly as big as Bob. She has lost that wide eyed 'kitten' look now. The McKitties are just so sweet, as are yours Nicola :Luv2:

Ahhh Katie, I haven't been on since before Christmas & then pop on and find these gorgeous pics!!

What a perfect little furry family you have.

Really glad your'e feeling a bit better, hope it continues.

Chester is a skinny lad too, he's all legs. My vet told me to stop worrying as he's just growing quickly & expending so much energy that there's no extra flesh (the opposite of me this time of year!)

Love the pics  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Poor Staffa's back leg, being used as a kicker and a bone  :rofl:

Luna isn't going to be as big as Archie, she will always look smaller and skinnier, females are. The vet will let you know if it's anything to worry about but I don't think it is

Well the fog seems to be lifting and I was even out for drinks last night, its amazing how much bubbly you can get down your neck when you're sitting quietly in the corner! Perhaps that's what I should have done in the first place!

I hope everyone has had a nice time so far too.

I just love my kitties, we are well settled now. They are coming when you call them and sitting on your knee when they're sleepy, well except for Archie who has now developed a friendship with Staffa our lab. They go everywhere together. Staffa pretends to be a cat and goes in and out of the pop up cube to play, then chases after him without stepping on him somehow.  He waits outside the litter box for Archie too and even tidies up any little bit of litter on the floor whilst he's waiting! Then when they're done, Staffa curls up on the sofa and makes room for Archie who climbs under his legs and goes to sleep. It just so cute.





.......and maybe not quite so friendly!




Luna is still the more timid one, that's when she's not racing from room to room, jumping up in the air with her imaginary friend and launching herself at the telly and behind the Sky box!!  Luna.....tic right enough! She'll purr like nothing on earth with a few strokes, but it's on her terms. If she sits on your knee and you fuss her too much she's away. I just love her markings and her ticked fur. When my parents came to visit on Christmas Day, all my mum kept saying was, "what a beautiful cat. It really is a beautiful cat, look Charlie, isn't she a beautiful cat" Then she played with Archie all the time instead of exchanging presents.Great company.



They are both eating well, especially Archie, but I am a bit worried he's a bit thin. There's just nothing on him and you can see his wee ribs. I can see they've have both grown but he's more length wise. He's pretty scrawny. My OH thinks it's because he's on the go all the time and is expending lots of energy. We'll see what the vet says when we take them for their next jabs on Monday.

No, certainly not a 'lady', she's turning into a Luna...tic. Not a complete nut like Archie though. He has no fear!

Good luck with trudging through your own medical trail Gill. This is the worst spell of depression I've have for a very long time, very frustrating but at least I have my McKitties, it's great watching them going mad and getting cuddles now and then. Just wish I could flick a switch and get back to my normal self.

Have lots of festive fun and best wishes for 2016.

Very kind thanks goes to Mary for her understanding with our name change for Bonnie.

As much as I would have loved a name sake for Mary's own wee cat, a bit of family pressure has persuaded me to go for something less Scottish that suits our own little lady. Apparently she 'just doesn't look like a Bonnie' so I have succumbed to the masses and named her something else. We have decided to called our McKitties,
Archie and Luna. To be honest she gets called 'Madam' most of the time as she discovers yet another piece of furniture to climb over or under to investigate. As for Archie, don't even ask!.......as for me, not much better. :(

Best wishes to everyone in their pre Christmas week.
