Hey everybody!
Unfortunately, the original "Thomas and Cooper" thread got blown away with the 2004 board storm. I still have all the pictures and am going to re-create the thread, but all the stories and funny moments that I've written about over the last few months are lost. They still live in my memory somewhere, but my memory isn't so great anymore.


So without further delay.................

Introducing Thomas and Cooper: Born July 30, 2004.

Their mom, Abby was found wandering a deserted street, alone and pregnant. She was very sweet and VERY hungry! My oldest daughter brought her home and about 4 weeks later, she gave birth to these two beautiful boys.

Abby and her big belly about 2 days before she went into labor.


However, Abby also had a third kitten a full 24 hours after she had Thomas and Cooper. Unfortunately, that kitten was breach, and became stuck in the birth canal. When the kitten was finally born, she wasn't breathing. I tried everything to get her breathing, but she had been without oxygen too long and I couldn't save her. She looked exactly like Cooper except that her black markings were a little different. I had planned to name her Maggie Moo because she looked like a little black and white cow. Maggie is now at the Rainbow Bridge, happy and healthy, and probably watching her big brothers grow and flourish.

The boys were born at 4:45 and 5:30pm on July 30, 2004.



Can you see Thomas in this picture? A few minutes after he was born, he climbed up on his mommy's back and went to sleep.



Here's Cooper a little while after he was born.



1 Day Old















6 Days Old











9 Days Old









12 Days Old















2 Weeks Old





18 Days Old





















3 Weeks Old

(with my oldest daughter)










































4 Weeks Old





















To be continued.......................

He IS sucking his thumb in that picture. Cooper used to do that a lot when he was a baby. He also used to try and suck on his toes.

I have NO idea how I ever thought I could give up either of them.


I know this is a LOT of pictures, but I couldn't remember which ones I had posted before, so I basically have posted ALL my pictures so there are probably some that you all haven't seen before. And this time, I'm going to copy my posts to a Word file so I don't have to ever redo it should the board go down again. This is a lot of work to do these over.


Just wait until I get the timeline caught up.....I have some great NEW pictures of the boys that I took over the last couple of days.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN



And Cooper wins this round knocking Thomas out of the basket!



So, Cooper....what do you have to say about your win? "Well it was my strategy all along to knock my brother out of the basket. He went down a lot easier than I expected."



Cooper: "Oh no! Thomas got back in the basket while I wasn't looking!"



"Thomas! It's MY basket! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"



Thomas: "I won't give up without fight!"



Thomas: "DRATS! I'm on the outside again!"



Thomas: "I know...I'll turn the basket over and Cooper will fall out!"



Thomas: "YES! I'm IN!"



Thomas: "So long brother! I'm the winner! The basket is MINE!"



Thomas: "This is a nice big basket and I think I'll enjoy having it all to myself!"



Thomas: "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!!"



Cooper: "Not so quick, brother dear! I'm not quite ready to give up yet!"



Thomas: "GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!!"



Cooper: "I give up. You can HAVE the dumb basket."
Thomas: "Hehe...I knew he'd see things MY way!"



Thomas: "So don't you want to interview ME now?"

Yay that Thomas and Cooper thread is back! When I started reading, I got a bit sad remembering how I read all those threads from way back when... but those pictures are great and at least those didn't get blown away by the storm too!

Thanks for posting their pics, they are so gorgeous... I can't wait to see more (yes, even more!)!

Robin,

I'm glad to see your pictures back on!!! There is one in that first batch where Thomas and Cooper are cudding and it's just too cute
You should send in some of these pics to a cat calendar place.

I just edited out 38 photos from the first post! There were just WAY too many and several of them were basically duplicates so I decided to pare it down a bit and get rid of the poor quality and duplicate pictures.

There were SO many.....you probably can't even tell the difference!

Cooper and Thomas are back!! I will always love the pic of Cooper sucking his thumb!


Wow! Lots of pics. I'll probably have to go to the library and use their computer to see all the pics because mine is soooooooo slow. But I'm glad you all are back!

"Ahhh....nice place for a nap."



"Hey Coop.....are you sure it's ok that we're in here?"



Cooper: "Don't worry Thomas. I'll just pretend like I'm cleaning the sink and she won't be mad."



Cooper: "Doesn't the sink look nice? We did it JUST for you!"
Thomas: "He's telling a story. We were REALLY taking a nap."



Cooper: "Thomas!! SHUSH! You're not supposed to tell her!"



Cooper: "I promise.....cross my heart.....we WERE cleaning the sink."
Thomas: "Yeah.....what HE said."



Cooper: "Well....I think our job here is done."



Cooper: "Ooops.....missed a spot."
Thomas: "I can't believe she bought that." <rolling eyes>

Uncle Leo is teaching the boys all the important things they need to know about being cats……things such as how the toilet works.
