Hi all! Back after being so busy with the kittens and a spell of ill health...better now though!
I've posted an update on the kittens on this thread...they are coming up to their 3 month birthday !

They are the apples of my eye...so adorable....all 5 insist on sleeping on my bed with me and get on great with each other!
However, I have some not so good news to report...when I was in hospital, my neighbours somehow managed to let their mum Tinkerbelle escape from the house and she is pregnant again! I did have her scheduled to be spayed but we (the vet and I) were waiting for the babies to stop weaning from their mum (this was at 10 weeks) and then I went into hospital. So a non spayed Tinkerbelle = a new set of babies. The vet has yet to confirm this...but as she was seen by the neighbours with a male or two prior to screamining to get out the house...she must be pregnant. Plus she is not in heat now...
I have hope that I will be able to find homes as when I was in hospital, I arranged for the cats to be collected and put into a local cattery for the few days when no one was around to look after them. The cattery owner said that he could have sold them 5 times over to people dropping their cats off who were asking if the kittens were for sale.
Well with more babies on the way...Im sure you'll see me in the forum getting your advice. And by hell or high water, Tinkerbelle WILL be neutered after these babies are born.
