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):

[img] [/img]

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):

[img] [/img]

The one at the back is thinking: "just you wait, I'll get my own back" 😛

Kittens will get [b]everywhere[/b] 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. 🙂

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

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.

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.

[img] [/img]

His brother, Bruar.

[img] [/img]

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!

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!!

Tom and Nasty cat..

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 😀

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!

He is a Manx stumpy with just a tiny bump of a tail. You can also see their characteristic long legs.

This is the best thread I have seen on STW. I would post up pics of my 2 Molly and Claude but technology is letting me down.

Hiding on top of the fridge. (Reminds me I must get round to sorting out that plaster).

Forced to get our 2 cats a few years ago by the Missus to keep her company while I worked away most of the week. Now I'm home I spend more time with the remaining one than she does. But enjoy the company of Samuel Catson (RIP) and Harrison Ford (her choice of names) and was pretty emotional when he died last Xmas.

And I'm a cold hearted bastard who deals with ill and dying people every day for a living. Guess I like animals more than people

nothing to see here just failed attempts at posting pics
