Here are 3 of my beautiful Abby


Napping in her favourite spot:



Here she is watching Spencer and Katie in the bedroom:



And now some of Spencer and Katie. I have no clue who is who!






Spencer loving on Katie!



Spencer and Katie. Katie is in the front. I can tell by her extra pointy ears.


Spencer nom-noming on Katie.




More of Spencer grooming Katie. You can see that Katie is a little bit darker than Spencer.




Oh hi Mom!!!


Some of Katie:





Some of Spencer:


He absolutely loves this toy! He and Katie have destroyed 1 already and another is nearly done in. I can't find them anywhere so I'll be ordering more online.

Oh they are so cute!! Looks like the kittens are keeping each other occupied and leaving Abby to still be Abby.
Thanks for posting!!

Abby is just precious. She looks like my childhood cat, Peaches.


Katie and Spencer...well...they look like they would be perfect playmates for my Rex.


They are all so stinkin' cute!

Thank you! Abby's shaved spots are growing in nicely. The incisions are completely healed and she's loving up the brushes and scritches to her head again. The shaved spots are so velvety soft. She loves when I pay extra attention to them.

Katie and Spencer sure do keep each other occupied. I play with them using the wand toys and laser pointer, but I wish they would stop long enough to get more cuddles than they allow me. But they don't sit still very long!


By the way, there is a better camera on the way to me, so within a couple weeks I should be able to post some action shots of them. I swear Katie can leap half way up the wall!!!

I love orange kitties and Abby is a doll
. Katie and Spencer look like identical twins and seem so attached to each other. They blend together perfectly

They sure are identical! I find myself calling "Spencer" instead of "Katie" and vice versa.

I hope there are more distinguishing characteristics as they grow older. Right now the only way I can tell is by the tips of their ears, but only if Katie is looking at me, and the fact that Katie is a bit darker. But her darkness is not always evident. It depends on the light.

Right now 2 tabby kittens are a challenge to say the least! But I'm thrilled that I adopted them together. They sure love one another and it would have been awful for them to have been separated.

I seriously just want to pick Abby up and snuggle her!
Spencer and Katie obviously love each other so much, too sweet.

Awwwww......so sweet!!!
Gee, I'd never get anything done, I'd be watching them and being entertained all day long!


Bless Abby.....she's so patient. I'm so glad she's coming along well, and her fur is growing in again and she's obviously getting alot of lovin' from you!!

First of all, Abby is so huggable, and the babies are just too adorable.


Second of all - look at these two:

I never noticed that! Of course they don't sit still long enough

I think I would buy two cat collars...a blue one and a pink one and take the bells off...just so you can tell them apart without thinking about it!

Thanks for the pictures, Linda. My internet has just come back on full speed and I can finally "meet" your new babies. They are so darling!

The first night they were left out to roam around, neither Abby or I got any sleep. Both kittens were leap frogging all over the place. But since then, no. They're very good about entertaining themselves in the morning so long as they have dry food and water.

When I get up I give them their wet food.

And it doesn't help much at night (though you've already learned to tell the difference by the way they want to snuggle, which is just too cute!)

They sell breakaway collars without bells. Great idea!!!!

I've never put collars around my cats. I figure they would be uncomfortable for them, and also it gets in the way of a good brushing and/or neck scritch. Plus I'm afraid that it would get caught on something and they would end up being choked.

The fact that Katie is darker has been helping for the most part.
