Pics a bit blurry, as I was chasing around & it was freezing, took the boys out for a 2nd look at the garden today, we've managed to block all the ground level holes and although they are very big for kittens, they're not big enough to climb fences. Going to keep them supervised until they're done in a few weeks, just want them to learn that our garden is their safe place.  Frank with a dead VB  George looking surprised.  Think they might turn into the wrecking crew. |

 They're so cute Jilly. There's plenty for them to explore.

They are beautiful Jilly, what an adventure I bet they didnt know which way to run  be careful with that capicastrum though the berries could upset their little tums. |

Thanks maggy, but was keeping a very close eye on them, me thinks I will be getting rid of a fair few lily bulbs this summer or decorating the front garden with them. |

The Front garden sounds like a plan Jilly,  I have loads of lilies that my sis with a cat keeps telling me are poison and do drop petals and stamens as you know, but my dogs have never shown an interest, same with the wisteria and a poinsettia that I bought this year, but I do keep my eyes open and anything that drops are is ready to drop I pick off. You just have to be vigilant thats all. |

Saw the pics on FB - love George (is it G. or have I mixed them up?) and his markings....bit of a Hitler moustache - hahahaha!!
Frank? looks similar to a cat that I had in the UK.
Lovely pair!

 The suggestion that all the guys in this family have for George's face markings is it looks rather rude and male, if you stare at the black bit..... |

SIL & BIL came round with my Birthday present yesterday, I got the Molton Brown stuff but the guys were just as happy with the box.  I was saying to Rosefriend, on FB the other day that I was busy doing the washing, well I did have help, the tumble drier does need checking occasionally  |

Those two are hillarious Jilly, what the heck is it about cats and boxes? I sometimes have a couple still sitting around so Suki can play in them when he takes the notion, Abby was the same when she was here. Always good to get a bit of help with the washing, eating the clothes, not so much.  |

I was a wicked mother yesterday Ladygardener, I gave them both Molton Brown boxes, but then threw the old ripped boxes that they've had since kittens in the recycling, I think the bid them a fond farewell. Talk about mischievous maggy, was sitting here last night and they were due to be fed and I was just finishing up a couple of things, so they both put the purr on & went round mine & OH's legs and then George looked straight at OH, made sure he was looking and then went into the corner and pulled one of the pot plants pot and all onto the ground, just because he wasn't getting any attention, we had to have the hoover out and everything |

Obviously the slaves haven't been trained well enough yet and must therefore be punished for their tardiness in not following the feed me now rules |

Oh Jilly, they certainly know how to get their own way don't they! I was laying on top of the bed yesterday for a rest and Suki was'nt impressed, he yelped and made meow sounds that were angry until I got up again, then proceeded to start having a pee on mmy allotment clothes that I'd had sitting underneath a chair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't wash them every time I wear them as I know they're only going to get dirty again. I could'nt believe it! he's never ever done that. I was very cross indeed I can tell you. (but only for a little while)  |

Are we All mad ? These little furry things have us wrapped around their furry paws my two push their food bowls around the kitchen floor to let me know they know its feeding time  you cant ignore it for long! Ladygardener, i wonder if you had been in contact with another cat at the lotti ? Or she thought your clothes were her litter tray ? |

Post by Jilly on Feb 15, 2017 9:30:41 GMT
Yes maggy, we're all totally mad, OH is the worst, he's always saying that all our cats have been a nuisance, but they've all had him totally wrapped round their paws. I'm the nasty one who stops them doing stuff, but they love me because I feed them . Might have just been a one off with Suki Ladygardener, perhaps he smelled something on your allotment clothes. I've been really luck with these 2, since we've had them when they were tiny we've only had the one accident, and that was only because the cat bed we bought them was an igloo type and Frank made a mistake and thought it was the covered litter tray. I've got them booked in for their op for next Tuesday, so hopefully about a week after that they'll be able to go out and about unsupervised, think they're going a bit stir crazy atm what with the nice weather. |

maggy, Jilly, it will have been a one off for Suki to do that but I won't be leaving my allotment clothes sitting around any more that's for sure. Best of luck to the boys for next tuesday Jilly. I'm sure they'll be a lot more comfortable after it's over.

Post by Jilly on Mar 3, 2017 12:20:26 GMT
Now they've been done, we're letting them out more and they've both got a favourite spot for bird watching, I don't fancy the chances of my growhouse to be honest especially as when they weighed them last week at the vets they weighed just over 4kg each, that's 9lbs  George also likes to play with the birdbath and yesterday he tipped the top all over himself.... and his brother.  |

Frank has an intense stare there Jilly. George looks very happy there, he has his tail curled round him. Glad to hear their escapades outside are a little safer 'tho, sounds like they're thriving. |
