Haha, infact that is a wand toy. The real trick to getting photos that are sharp and well defined is to get plenty of light so the camera can use a faster shutter speed. The faster the shutter, the less need there is for the cats to remain still :) These shots were taken about about 1/250th of a...

Hi Mamabirdy, yes indeed I did :) I am a semi-professional photographer along side my day job and couldn't resist the opportunity to snap a few shots of the girls as they grow up :) I'm glad you like the photos!

Hi folks! Wow - what a week! We have both been off work to spend time with the Kittens and help them adjust to (most of) the house as their territory now. By the Vets reckoning they are now about 7.5 - 8 weeks old which is great. They both seem to be very healthy, and are...

Quick update: Vets trip went well, she was very impressed with how well they are doing all considered and thinks that we have everything covered! Due to start vaccinations and such in about 3 weeks time (due to the unconfirmed age) and have now started them on wormers (especially as their little...

Thanks JCat - Ill try to bare that in mind next time I post a video >_< Florence still eats like that, but its not quite so bad now :P she's learning fast :) Thanks EB24 - We have slowly expanded their space, and yesterday they discovered they can climb the stairs :P so slowly branching out...

They are indeed both female (at least, thats what the guy thought and we concur... the vet will know of course, but I think its pretty much a cert now!) We have named them Florence (Calico) and Pepper (Torty). No signs of suckling behaviours so far, but we are being very vigilant! I will keep an...

Hi folks! Well, yesterday we got a call from the family who we were getting the Kittens from - essentially we had to pick them up a day early, which was a shame but unavoidable with them leaving the country.  Kittens are now back at our house, with their safe room set up. They have very quickly...

Cheers jcat! I will check out zooplus.co.uk and see what they have! We are now just waiting for various items to arrive, and brushing up on our kitten knowledge in anticipation of next Friday.

Hi again! Sorry for the delay - a hectic 3 day weekend with birthdays and cat-related shopping! Many thanks for the very long reply! I have given it a good read, and its fantastic - I'll try to reply to as many points as possible below. I feel its worth me mentioning that I am based in the UK...

Hi Sheltielover - good to hear that! I will indeed keep posting as things progress. Hi again EB24 :) we do have one other animal, a bearded dragon. She lives in a vivarium and only comes out for a short run every day or so under our supervision. Planning to not let cats in the room when we do...

Thank you for the swift and detailed reply! I am glad it’s not just me – I just kept thinking to myself, they seem nowhere near 6 weeks! In answer to your question about the timing, the kittens will remain with their mum for another 2 weeks exactly (we will collect them on evening of the 16th...

Hi folks! Bit of a conundrum, just looking for a little advice. My partner and I bought our first home last year and have decided on getting 2 kittens. We responded to an on-line advert for 6 week old kittens, ready for homing in 2 weeks time - perfect we thought, 8-9 week old kittens by the...
