When I look back at those old pics and look at such gorgeous healthy kittens it makes my everyday,its also giving me the strength I need right now for nursing Garcia, had less than 3hours sleep since 5am sunday morning, it was the same with Hercules and Hester but just look what I`ve got to show for it.

 :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:  Andy has been and was astounded at the progress and size of Hercules and Hester, clean bill of health for both and even though Hester is too young for vaccinations she is chunky enough, so both these kittens have now had 1st vaccinations. Must ask Claire to take some pics at weekend.

Moved this pair out of isolation yesterday and into the kitchen; Minimopsical has been quite depressed since young Ripley left so I have given her instructions to teach Hercules and Hester all she knows including Purring, Hester settled into the new room really well but poor old Hercules was terrified, not really suprising for an 11 week old feral who to date has only been handled by me, think he is also missing his television  :rofl: As for Minimopsical she is delighted with her new charges.

Blip didn't purr until she had been with us for about a year, as I recall.  The first time she did so, I was halfway to her cat carrier before I realised the funny noise she was making wasn't asthma  :shify:

Trigger doesn't purr - he sort of snorts, and his flanks go up and down really fast so I know something is happening, but no actual purr, ever :(

Just a thought, but I wonder if they know how to purr?  We had a dog once who didn't find her ability to bark until she was two.  :-:

Was stroking Hercules this morning and his bottom was so high and tail almost touching his head he almost somersaulted, such a happy pair but still Purr-less
