I am waiting on the release from the breeder of my newest kitten. She is a tortie Siamese and this feels like being pg and waiting on the delivery! I am totally new to this computer stuff... so bear with me. Subee

Thanks for the fast reply and the warm welcome. I promise to figure the "picture" thing out. Subee

Welcome to the site! I can't imagine waiting for a little bundle of fur. Both of mine were kind of surprise acquisitions, so I had instant gratification with them.

I look forward to getting to know you and your furries on the board!

I'm also waiting to get my kitten, an American Bobtail. It's really hard waiting! He is 8 weeks old right now and I have to wait until around mid-January. He is pictured here at 5 weeks old. I think I'm going to name him Bogey.

Subee, I've never had to wait for a kitten, they just entered my life. But I know it can be exciting waiting for them.

fireshoes, Bogey, (if you do name him this), looks adorable.

Welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

The breeder says 12 weeks old. So I figure anytime after January 1st. I explained to her that I am home full time and that I have raised two feral kittens from almost newborn stage. You know; bottles and stimulating them to pee and poop. They made the best pets too as they were so totally bonded to me. But the breeder would not budge. I really think 12 weeks is way too old as their personalities are nearly formed by then. Sigh! She has control.
All of my cats have been rescues. This a total first for me to have a registered anything!

Subee, I understand that 12 weeks is the accepted age at which kittens are released from their mothers. Sometimes they're kept longer if the breeder doesn't think that they aren't ready. Try not to worry about the personality being already developed. I believe that the personalities are always in development to what is in the environment.

Hi and welcome to TCS Subee.


It's hard waiting but it'll be worth the wait when your precious baby arrives.
