My mum and dad went to see a couple of kittens a week or so ago and only came back with one as one has already been sold. He is a black 9 week old moggy, and he's tiny. I have called him Max.
My mum also went to see some other kittens last saturday and she came back with one which is a female and she is a 8 week old tabby. I named her Tilly.
Tilly is alot bigger than Max even though she is younger.

Here are some pictures of both of them. Enjoy

Max


Tilly


Both



btw, At what age can we get them neutered? We would like it done as soon as possible really.


Thanks
Lucinda

they are toooo cute!!! your Tilly looks so much like my Antigone! aren't brown tabbys so pretty?? looks like are getting along famously
like ryanjay said, vets differ in how early they will neuter, but a pediatric neuter/spay can be done as soon as the kits weigh 2 lbs. Congrats are you precious new additions

Talk yo a couple of vets on the neutering. In my experience few UK vets will spay before 5/6 months, but most willn euter male cats around 3 months. You may find one who will do the ops earlier though.

Awwww, how adorable! This is the second post I've been on here of a little black kitty named Max! I'm so partial to black kitties - My black kitty Max just passed to the Rainbow Bridge in January....here is my Max..maybe your Max will grow up to look just like him

Max was 13....he used to belong to a neighbor of mine that let him be an indoor/outdoor kitty. He always came to my house and would never leave and I'd have to call her to come and get him! One day I stopped calling....

What lovely kittens! Looks like they get on well together. Weren't you interested in getting a traditional Siamese?

We had a gender change!!!!


btw Tilly is called Billy as he is now a boy
My mum took him to the vets tonight and the vet said she was a he


We had a conversation about how to tell the difference between a male and female the other day and me being as wierd as I am thought I'd just double check and thought to myself that Tilyy was in fact a boy but I didn't want to say anything because it would make me look silly.
Well in fact she turned out to be a he


So now it's two males and 0 females. Doesn't matter though. We're still keeping both of them.

I think over here in the UK we get them neutered at 6 months. long time to wait


Hopefully there will be no serious fighting with there being two males

Yeah we did want some siamese but my dad doesn't want to have to pay over £100 for a kitten.

The black siamese x kitty which I used to have cost us £90 but in fact my nan brought it for us because she was buying on anyway and asked if we'd like one too


We payed £50 for Max and £40 for Billy

Two boys should get along just fine, especially if they're neutered before they reach sexual maturity, as you're planning to. One will probably establish dominance, and you can expect to see some playfighting especially that young, but they should be just fine.

They are so totally adorable!

Thats good. They have already started play fighting and it's really funny to watch
