Here’s my two – arrived a couple of days ago. Fourteen weeks old and hellishly devious.

Never thought I’d want pets, but I’m glad the kids wore me down. 🙂

As I’m around during the day, I seem to have been given the poo-shovelling role. Any tips for kitten keeping?

Fish The Bengal it plots against me daily 😯

Tips for kitten-keeping? I dunno, kittens are bastards IME!

Here’s the stray who chose us as his owners – Scratbag (though he has many other names):

Scratbag is amazing – think he’s about 18 now and we thought he was on his way out years ago – still going strong!

And here’s Biscuit (who’s cute but a little swine):

The one at the back is thinking: “just you wait, I’ll get my own back” 😛

Kittens will get everywhere as they are insatiably curious about their surroundings. It’s part of a cat’s nature and the phase will pass but until then be prepared to get them off the top of kitchen cupboards; wardrobes; out from beneath the kitchen sink waste; off the top of curtain rails.

Give them a litter tray that’s in a quiet location, they’ll soon use it in preference to anywhere else in the house. If they are sleeping then let them sleep, don’t let the kids continually pester them they’ll become highly strung and not particularly sociable otherwise. (The cats that is, no idea about your kids 😀 )

Yep, the weaknesses in my kitten proofing were discovered and exploited inside five minutes. 🙂

They’re awesome creatures

Dave the cat..

the Zippy toy smells of Catnip…

Heres mine, named reggie after reggie kray because he’s a little s**t

I’ll bite on this one.

Molly looking slightly derp – got her when she was 4 after a very abusive upbringing, took nearly a year to get her on our side.

Sits in a box if you place it on the floor.

SO’s cat Benji, stays with the SO’s parents as he doesn’t get along

Stare-out contest;

STW is now officially part of the Internet.

Those first two are definitely plotting your demise. (Like most cats)

I’ve already accepted that my place in the pecking order has just gone down even further.

This amuses them:

rescued her at 4 years old, she’d been rescued twice and gone back to the home, we were her last chance, that was 3 years ago. she now rules the house

Please meet Boot.

Now living with his second STW slaves after previously living with Mountain Monkey.

He also rules the house and we love him all the same.

Apparently I learnt something new from the interweb other day which is not to leave a bowl of water for them near their food as they prefer it that way.

I had a Rescue cat who lived until 20 or so and had a whole family of them larger than my own.

I now have recently inherited 2 Tonkinese brothers who by very nature have traits of being chilled out whilst becoming lively at a moments notice.
Great lads!

One of them seems to like me far too much as he jumps up and suckles my ear lobe and kisses me a lot.
I of course tell him where to go if I’ve seen him just lick his stinky pinky hehe.

Loki pants

We call him pants, as it looks like he’s wearing pants around his neck..

Fraoch… he was ‘my’ cat and I am still aching from his sudden death on the rural road outside our home a week before Christmas.

His brother, Bruar.

And Tangle.

Paddy, got him from a cats protection shelter, not had him long and he’s still very shy but very friendly once lured out of hiding! they gave him to us as a domestic long hair but looking on wikipedia we’re quite sure he’s mostly Norwegian forest cat, massive paws and even the fur underneath for walking on the snow!

Here’s my cat Dave in his jumper:

Things just got weird 🙂

Just realised I have no decent pics of my cat Masha, “the cat who came in from the cold”. So you will have to settle for a video. She is a proper feral farm cat who lived in one of my barns for several years before I managed to persuade her that life in the house would be more comfortable. She now hardly ever goes out!!

I have a lot of pussy.

Zion helping us with storage issues.

Got him as a kitten, taken from a high rise in Hull with 16 other cats. The owner ‘couldn’t cope with them all’. He’s got some slight neurological issues due to inbreeding, just makes him more interesting and fun!

Edit: Yes, thats a lot of underwear.

Some quality pictures here 😀

Joey and Archie, chillin’.

This was Ruby and Luna as six month old kittens, about two and a half years ago. They still exact revenge on us daily.

Oi! Trying to work skive!

Pictonroad – that’s not your cat…

Ours never grew into her ears and at 8 years old still runs like a kitten (people often mistake her for being less than a year old)

She also loves HER dog!
