Kittens at ten weeks

Not sure if I should carry on with this blog as the kittens are no longer 'foster' kittens but my forever kittens. But their mum Turblow is still a foster cat so I guess I can just about get away with it?
Inky and Pinky who are now Jordan and Perri are still growing and fighting.

(No I did not let the kittens eat the packing pellets)

For Turblow the week have not been so good as on Friday we visited the vets for her nurturing.

They put her in a jumper so neither her or her kittens could get at her wound.... it was off by the time we got home! Dang thing cost me £16 LOL!!! Fortunately I had a cone thing  so all was not lost. OK, so that's not the whole story. When any cat I have has an operation I always get up in the night to check on them. The kittens where not happy being kept away from Turblow and made quite a bit of noise. She I went down to check on them all... kittens fine but Turblow had managed to remove her cone thing!!! *sigh* So I had to put it back on  on the tightest notch. Still able to get a couple of fingers in so not to tight but it must be pretty uncomfortable. Back to the vet on Monday for a check up hoping for no more 'incidents'!

................................

Saturday night all hell let loose when I thought all my other cats were in the kitchen with the door shut. But no when I opened the living room door where Turblow was my little Izzy was the other side... Turbs went for her before I could shut the door and chased her upstairs where she started to knock nine bells out of poor Izzy! I had to get them apart and my hand/arm took a bit of a hit. So much so that today (Monday) I had to visit the doctor for antibiotics and the recommendation of a Tetanus...said no to the shot as I'm needle phobic. Turblow is fine and I have now dressed her in the xxs sized sweater that I already had. I do have to take Turblow back to the vets in three weeks for her second shot and the vet said I could return the sweater...I think it would fit Godfrey!!!!

Did I cry.... YOU BET! I just have to hope the they find good forever homes and that they stay together.... I so hope they stay together but it's not down to me I just have to cross my fingers and hope!

Goodbye my little ones and have a good healthy loooooong life!

Oh, and fingers crossed for Turblow she is driving me NUTS as she is in season (or as Amy puts it she want's a bloke!) She has peed up my doors and on my bed! She must be half Siamese boy has she got a mouth on her! Anyway due for the op next week and hopefully she will be better after that? 

................................................................

OK, I lasted four hours! 

I neeeeded my boys! 

I LOVE MY BOYS! 

They are MY boys (well and Turblows)!

So I went back and brought my boys HOME! I just could not do it. I drove as slowly as I could when we took them to Scratching Posts. When we arrived I could not let go of the cage them I cried. My daughters cried. Inky and Pinky were put in with two other little boys just a day older than mine. My boys were naturally scared witless. Eventually we left and I had to really steel myself not to turn the car around and go back for them. We were all so sad and upset so in the end I phoned Scratching Posts and arranged to come back and collect them. At the moment Scratching Posts have OVER 100 kittens awaiting new families. They are really struggling to cope with so many ADOPT A KITTEN OR OLDER CAT PEOPLE THEY NEEEED YOU! Oh, and if you have a cat or kitten pleeeeaaassseee get them spayed! 

My boys were curled up in a ball together behind the cage door. Not sure who was the happiest to be holding them again me or them? 

This time fostering did not work for me. Will I try again? Maybe, I would like to try....

NOTE:

Inky is now called Jordan and Pinky is now Perri their mum who I'm also hoping to keep but will have to see how she gets on with my other cats. Turbow is now called Ashley Banjo. Yes, my daughters are Diversity fans!

 

Copy of letter I wrote to go with the kittens

Inky and Pinky

Turblow their mother came to live with me in February already looking huge but the kittens did not arrive until Saturday 29th March  at 11am Inky was born first and Pinky’s sack was attached to Inky’s they have had an amazing bond even on day one. There was a third kitten Parlee Vue who sadly did not make it.
Why the names? I named them before they were born and wanted names that would work for boys or girls. While Turblow was pregnant we thought she might have a big litter as she was so big she we had Inky, Pinky, Parlee Vue  (could have been two kittens) Hava and Banana! As it was Inky the first born looked like he had been jumping in ink with his white paws and black splashes. Pinky when born had a little pink mouth so the names worked well.
When born Inky weighed 170grms and Pinky 150grms (the average weight of a new born kitten is 100grms so big boys from day one.
The boys have been on solid food Inky almost three weeks and Pinky just over a week. Whiskas and Felix kitten and any make of dry food.
They do know the word NO! but like all youngsters pick and chose when to take any notice.
Both are litter box trained (I use newspaper and Catsan)
Favourite toys a tunnel, scratching post (yes, they know to use a post NOT the wallpaper) fur covered mouse, balls,  bird on a stick thing and the do love to climb.
They like to sleep of the floor.
Inky loves to sleep on your lap Pinky is more of a next to you cat but that might be more to do with Inky stopping Pinky from getting on?
They are very good sweet natured people pussy’s.
I have four other cats and although they have seen the other cats they have not mixed with them as Turblow would not allow it.
If you want to read more (including pictures and video) They had a BLOG

I’m sure these guys will give you a life of love and laughs

Kittens are now Eight Weeks old

Inky and Pinky are just sooo big now. Eight weeks old and both now eating solids they are ready to leave as soon as their forever family can be found.

And their weight this week

Inky 1240grms

Pinky 1060grms

Kittens are now Seven Weeks Old

Now is the time I need to start looking at my little ones moving on. I knew it was going to be hard and I'm not disappointing myself! Just the thought of it makes me want to cry.But I do still have a couple more weeks I think that is just going to make it harder though? I've never given anything away not even my dolls (Although my dad DID give all my dolls away to this horrid girl who lived next door! OK, I was seventeen and no longer played with them but they were not his to give away and .... well, you get the idea! LOL) 
This week Turblow and the kittens Thursday 15th visited the vet for their check up and first worming. They are all fit and healthy, Inky and Pinky are both boys! So there you have it BOYS! Lovely, handsome, funny, feisty, nutty, cuddly boys.
Who could not want my boys? They will make you laugh (lots) give you love and cuddles and make WONDERFUL companions. 
Not my place to say but I feel they should stay together as they are so close! After all two kittens are so much more fun than one. They are fully litter trained and (most of the time) will stop when told NO!
They are happy to be picked up and love a nice cuddle (and a computer) I guarantee you will never have any problems with rodents as Turblow is a wonderful mouser I've watched her 'kill' many a toy mouse she is training her boys well.
Turblow is a clever cat and the kittens are pretty smart I'm sure you will be able to teach them tricks if you so desire.
Cats are either bush or tree dwellers... these are tree! So will need a nice perch or six!  I'm teaching them to use the scratching post and not my carpet or furniture, they are pretty good at this. 
So what more can I say? If your interested in my boys you will need to be checked out by Scratching Posts Cat Rescue
