I have to share my joy - today has been a landmark day! The kittens are coming up to 4 weeks this weekend. Not only did Reuben do his first wee wee in the litter tray , but both Reuben and Eden had a bit of tuna to eat!!!! (Ok mum cat, Olivia, had most of the tuna lol)...but it looks like...
Every time I take a pic of little kitten Reuben, he does a funny face. I'm starting to get paranoid that its me he's disapproving of lol! I took one pic earlier this week and the other tonight and just kept laughing to myself at his facial expressions in both pics!
Here's his sister, Eden...
Here are the babies at 3 weeks old. Starting to venture everywhere as you can see! Reuben is boistrous, brave but very loving. Eden is the clever observer, calm and poised. Typical boys and girls, eh? lol
Mum cat ,Olivia, is doing well today..eating and nursing the babies..and her 'lumpy...
I was with Olivia and the kittens and thought I'd just check Olivia's teats as part of her daily grooming.
Two of them were hot, hard and swollen (I didnt know if thats because the kittens had just finished nursing off her). She's eating well, alert and not in apparent pain, but I was...
I just got an enclosed cat litter box from Zooplus.co.uk called the Gimpett. Wanted to mention as its FAB! No smells, hardly any litter splurted out when the cats come out of it, and lots of room. I think Im going to have to replace all the other trays/boxes I have with these too. It cost...
Ok I hope I dont come across as ignorant here, I genuinely dont know the answer and hope someone can nicely tell me it. I just wanted to know from the UK rescuers if the kitten overpopulation problem is a big problem here in the UK?
Why I ask this is because of my experiences 3 years ago...
Their ears have popped up finally!
And the small amount of stroking and handling Ive been doing every day with the kittens seems to have paid off as they don't hiss at all now when I pick them up and they already seem to recognise me (when Im in the nesting room, they will wobble out of the...
Here's are some pics Ive taken of the kittens today Sorry they are not the clearest of pics but my digital camera doesnt work well without flash, so i had to use my mobile phone camera.
Here's Reuben the playful poser.....
And here's Eden, who unlike her brother is very shy and doesnt...
The kittens have opened their eyes!
Also Reuben has once wandered out the crate and came over to me! I was so touched!
Isnt it cute the little waddle they do when they attempt to walk at this stage? lol
I'll post pics later. But just wanted to share the news of their eyes opening!
I was just watching the kittens and I saw Eden licking her paw and sucking on it..like a baby would do with its thumb. How cute is that?
Also I saw Eden licking Reuben clean too...didnt realise that this behaviour started at such a young age (6 days old)
Do your kittens do this?
Ive just posted some pics of the kittens at 6 days old in this thread on the pregnancy/kitten forum.
Just thought Id post the link here so all could see too..

I took some pics yesterday of my Boris posing....thought Id share He's 1 years old...you can tell he thinks he's at that 'im a man now' stage lol
My boy posing away
Who's cuter the Teddy or Boris?
I think i may have got the sex of Eden and Reuben round the wrong way. Not sure. All i know is that I most likely have one of each as they are both different.
An identity crisis. Nice start to life eh?
Im so sorry the pics are fuzzy..again its my mobile phone camera and moving kittens. But...
My hubby was out shopping and saw a cat book and brought it home for me (he knows anything cat related is the way to my heart, not chocolate or flowers lol)
Its called Cat Detective - Solving The Mystery Of Your Cat's Behaviour. Its by Vicki Halls.
Just wasted to make mention of this as its...
This isnt a cry for help kind of post, more an observation. I never knew new born kitty poopy could be so big.
With Tinkerbelle's kittens, their poopy was like individual hamster poopy pellets following birth. Thats what I thought was normal.
Olivia's new borns, Reuben and Eden - their...
Olivia has decided its the time.
One is out! Off to see her...she picks the best times 5.20am! lol
I woke up to hear squeaking noises...looked up and saw a little dark kitten with a white left paw being licked by mummy. Its suckling off her now!
Prince William has split from Kate Middleton. How sad - there was talk of them getting engaged this year! I honestly thought she was going to be Queen one day when William gets the throne

Sorry I need to vent
I was overjoyed last week when I won a cat tree on ebay (some of you would have seen it as I posted a pic of it in this forum)
I won the auction at a bargain price and was really impressed with the seller (great past feedback and they immediately sent me details of UPS...
