Coming up to 4 weeks old they are now becoming individuals in their own right and I am now beginning to play a bit with them. Sent you a photo of the two which I hope you enjoy.

Piccy taken earlier this week

Mum is still a happy soul but looks a bit weary

Hi Angie,
How are the kittens doing - do you know what sex they are yet?

Hi Rox - your kittens, whichever you choose, are going to be pretty famous at this rate! I am sure they are all adorable - is there room at your place for all of them, plus Mum? I really do think you should consider it . . . . .

The tabby one - hearts will melt!

Lol!

Well i'm not sure we have room for all of them plus mom - if they stay that small then yes but we all know that won't happen!

It would be quite a big leap to go from no cats to 1 cat plus 4 kittens!

you (southern) welshies - anything north of Cardiff is scotland to you!

Welcome Rox , glad you found the madhouse!

Todays photos - kittens now at a week old (on average!). Sorry about the quality of the photo - whenever I use the zoom the photo goes fussy (workman and rools I know). Anyway best I can do unless someone wants to install a kitcam for me.

and of course not forgetting clever mum who we must remeber will also be looking for a new home soon....

That's impressive. We dont allow people to reserve kittens that young though, as we feel it jinx's things. I think 6 weeks is the minimum we allow them to look, although we did it at that age last year and then lost the one that was reserved, so think we will increase it this year.

I try not to believe in Jinxs! (touch wood!)

We don't have any hard and fast rules about at what ages kittens should be viewed, but personally I think that if someone is prepared to wait 8 weeks for kittens then it is only fair that they should have the opportunity of seeing them grow up. I did explain the risks that these are still so young they may not make it. As long as we are careful about hygiene I think the kittens will not be subject to any more risk and it will be nice for them to have some contact with their new parents before they go.

I'd bbe interested in what others do - Will raise a new topic in R+R.

We may well indeed!

We have now changed our reservation to the Tabby and the White one! They are all so gorgeous its hard to pick but si my husband fell in love with the tabby...

The mother had a lovely temperament and never stopped purring, with her and Angie i think they are in excellent hands

Ellie · « **Reply #41 on:** March 22, 2008, 22:22:50 PM »

That's great news Angie, hopefully the others will find homes that quickly

The black/white and white/black have been reserved this afternoon by a nice couple from Cannock.
Will get home visit done in the next month or so - you never know , they may even introduce themselves

Oh Angie they are so adorable

Must not get broody, must not get broody .................

I thought wee black baby was in the pic and it was one of the B&Ws that wasn't there

Must check my contact lens are in

Maybe a couple of new pics might help

.......... it's worth a try

Harna · « **Reply #36 on:** March 20, 2008, 18:15:51 PM »

You have a 'kitten fairy."????

I WANT A KITTEN FAIRY !!!!

(I liked the first set of names better. But I didn't get the 'Cheerio' reference until it was pointed out . . . .

. Not a huge fan of the name Crystal - it sounds too delicate and breakable (and too glitzy girly) for a brave little cat that waits a couple of days before birthing another kit! She needs a name that is go-getting, strong, etc. Crystal doesn't do that for me, personally . . . . ..

)

But hey.

I would also wait to see the gender of the kits before naming - alot of the crystally names are rather feminine . . . . although I can't see why the little black one can't be called Jet . . . . .it's a stone, isn't it??!

Bryony84 · « **Reply #35 on:** March 20, 2008, 15:26:17 PM »

Angiew · « **Reply #34 on:** March 20, 2008, 15:14:33 PM »

5 days old (unless you're a black cat and then its 3 and a bit!)

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #33 on:** March 18, 2008, 01:43:13 AM »

I like the names as you had them ,with the addition of Frostie

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #32 on:** March 17, 2008, 18:21:52 PM »

Bless mum. I agree with Ellie about sexes before names. I wouldnt have thought anythign sinister about Cheerio due to the thinking behind the name.

Ellie · « **Reply #31 on:** March 17, 2008, 17:22:11 PM »

Oh a wee black beauty

Can't wait to see the pics

As for names

Crystal suits Mum

I guess we have to wait till we know the sex of the gorgeous wee bundles of fluff before naming them

Jasmine · « **Reply #30 on:** March 17, 2008, 14:57:32 PM »

little black kitty (I think you are blessed Angie!)

Crystal is nice, but what about Tulia for Mum:
The girl's name Tulia \t(u)-lia\ is of Spanish and Latin origin. From an ancient Roman family name, Tullius. Of uncertain meaning, though it may be related to the Etruscan word "tul", which refers to a heavy rain or downpour. Also possibly means "bound for glory".

Seems appropriate for her... just a thought anyhow, isn't naming fun!

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #29 on:** March 17, 2008, 14:41:27 PM »

Ruby

I love this name.

Saphire (Saffie for short)
Pip (Pippa)

Just hope they're all girlies

Mojo · « **Reply #28 on:** March 17, 2008, 14:29:47 PM »

Precious and semi precious stone names-

Amber, Citrine, Peridot, Pearl, Topaz, Emerald, Ruby, Quartz, Moonstone, Amethyst, Iolite, Obsidian,Tourmaline, Opal, Garnet, Turquoise, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Violet,Aqua,Jet, Aurora?

(Sorry I used to be a silversmith!

) Personally I think Aurora, Sapphire, Opal and Amber are lovely names

rose, smoke, lead, all types of crystal. I am sure there are others on here who are more in touch with the various sorts of crystal you can get. Zircon, amethyst, ruby, citrine ....

Cheesecat · « **Reply #24 on:** March 17, 2008, 12:48:37 PM »

Oh of course... duh

Awww Crystal is nice - perhaps all the kittens could be other precious materials? (Hope that makes sense!)

I don't get how Cheerio can be bad, so I am even worse than you Amy

Being the pessimist the first thing that came to mind was as in 'goodbye'

Anyway names are evolving, we just had more visitors and our chairwoman thinks mum cat should be called Crystal (I thought Crispy was 'orrible).
Am going to put them on the web as Crystal and family. Pop will probably be called pip (pipsqueak) as we have our own cat pepsi who is called pops so that might get confusing.

Oh well a rose by another other name and all that.........

bless the arrival of little 'Cheerio'?!

don't know CP , it could have a more sinister tone.

Unless any one wants to differ I've come up with some jiggling and have a new name for an old baby so now its -

Crispie - mum
Snap - black and white first born
Crackle - tabby 2nd born
Frosty - white and black third born

and Pop the lazy black git who really couldn't be bothered

I'll think of some more just in case
