Kali is a boy!

I've started a new thread for naming suggestions... http://www.chaptanservices.com/purrs/index.php?topic=3990.msg61671#new

JS that happens all the time so your vet would have been well used to it

Helen what time is your app today ?

If kali has extra bits then i dont think we should tell her

JackSpratt · « **Reply #78 on:** May 02, 2007, 09:40:57 AM »

I cared for a housemates cat for a period of time, and set up a "spay" for it. I was shopping and got a call from the vets saying Charlie was, in fact, a boy and did I still want to go ahead with the necessary op?! After the initial embarassment I said "of course!"

Charlie was known for the time we had him afterwards as "Camp Cat!"

Good luck at the vets today, Helen!

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #77 on:** May 02, 2007, 08:23:31 AM »

Good luck at the vets today and with here's hoping there's not going to be a gender realignment for Kali! She does look like a female to me too but I'll admit I'm crap at sexing cats from face shape etc. somone on another forum posted a quiz where you had to guess whether they were boys or girls and I got loads wrong

Déborah · « **Reply #76 on:** May 02, 2007, 08:15:32 AM »

Helen, that latest pic of Kali reminds of of the first one I ever took of Mia

They do look remarkably similar! I would be very surprised if Kali turned out to be a girl, like everybody else, I think she seems so dainty and feminine!

Helen, they are beautiful and sounds like they are such lovely little personalities too,, I'm so pleased for you.

Tiggy would be very happy with you taking these two gorgeous little monkey's on

oh i see
well at least u will know 100 percent tommorow when u see your vet

id defo say she was a little girly though
shes so petite and femme

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #72 on:** May 01, 2007, 20:47:49 PM »

I'm not sure Lisa. Kali's 'bits' are quite pronounced and sticky out. I've tried to compare it to the online guides but she doesn't look like either! Going to the vets tomorrow to be vaccinated so will double check then. She is so delicate and feminine I'd say she definitely looks like a girl but will find out for definite tomorrow! Compared to Riley she is quite a bit smaller, her head is smaller and her feautures are really dainty - it doesn't show as well in photos as it does in real life. I'm not saying she is a boy as I really wouldn't know one way or the other but I don't recall Tiggy's bits being that pronounced.

Take no notice Helen, poos are fab!

Thanks Rosella, they were lovely poos - textbook perfect and buried too

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #71 on:** May 01, 2007, 20:39:32 PM »

I well remember looking forward to the first poowhen the boys arrived! It signals so much; health, being at ease in their surroundings etc. Take no notice Helen, poos are fab!

Have to say I had to go back to the initial posts to discover who was who as it wasn't immediately apparent to me

Just bear in mind our Freddie had really rather large bits before they was chopped and he looks such a girl, my mom always refers to him as "she"

forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa) · « **Reply #70 on:** May 01, 2007, 20:32:45 PM »

there were two lovely little poo's in the litter tray so they have been allowed to go into the rest of the house.

You just know that Helen has been dooped... I mean.. lovely? Helen, HONEY!!! I love it when Lexy poos but I have never called them lovely. Yep, Susanne, I think that Helen gone batty, its time to go rescue these kittens!

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #68 on:** May 01, 2007, 20:05:51 PM »

Hi Helen, Kali and Riley are just soooooo beautiful

What fantastic pics - I think you have a pair of litter stunners on your hands. Enjoy Helen

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #67 on:** May 01, 2007, 19:56:40 PM »

Just tried to compare but it's really difficult a) to keep them still and b) Riley has dark fur around that area and Kali has light so it's hard to compare K to R. She has got a definite sticky out bit though

Will find out for definite tomorrow at the vets!

Here's a few more pics, there were two lovely little poo's in the litter tray so they have been allowed to go into the rest of the house. Some friends came over to see them earlier today and were taking loads of pics on my camera, they got some really good ones...

This is Riley playing on the TOP level of their super duper tall scratcher - they are both up there now.

Here's Kali peeping out from behind the blinds, this shows how small she really is

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #66 on:** May 01, 2007, 19:33:40 PM »

Susanne i'm in

Deborah Cody says to tell mia not too worry and that kali would be far too young for him anyway.

Helen..I just cannot think for a minute that kali could be a boy, ive studied and studied the pair of them and there are such obvious masculine and feminine differences in bone & jaw structure. Kalis too pretty to be a bruiser

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #65 on:** May 01, 2007, 19:31:03 PM »

By the way Lynn, Mia says Cody had better keep his philandering paws off Kali!!

I should hope so too - Kali's only 10 weeks!

Helen - have you left them on their own in the house yet? I'm sure you'll have to go out to get something soon - some food shopping maybe? If you could just mention when so that I know when they'll be on their own....

Déborah · « **Reply #61 on:** May 01, 2007, 15:17:21 PM »

Liza · « **Reply #60 on:** May 01, 2007, 14:50:58 PM »

count me in..............Kali definitely looks more into everything. She be the one that gets Riley into trouble as he'll copy his cute sister

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #59 on:** May 01, 2007, 14:50:01 PM »

Yeah they are sleeping in that last pic

In fact they are doing a lot of sleeping, while they are awake they are mental but then they crash out for 3 hours solid. I keep going in there to find them sparko in their little bed and still no poos

Lynn, Riley has been playing with the roundabout toy for hours on end, he bats the ball with his left paw going clockwise and then bats it back with his right paw anti-clockwise, he finally let Kali have a go for a minute and that's when I took the pic.

As for Susanne's ILLEGAL suggestion

All I can say is that you'll have to get past me first

Here's a close up of my sleeping beauties

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #58 on:** May 01, 2007, 14:41:47 PM »

Yup - looks like Kali is going to be the brains and Riley the brawn

The photos just get cuter. They are so adorable in that last one

Just remembered I've got Helen's address so if anyone wants to join me in a kitten napping mission just let me know...

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #57 on:** May 01, 2007, 14:26:58 PM »

i luv them helen.

i adore the way they were sleeping in the same position and i luv the way its quite obvious kali is going to be the brains behind the duo..look at the way she is working out how to get that ball out of the toy

She is also very photogenic

hannah (weeny) · « **Reply #56 on:** May 01, 2007, 14:26:04 PM »

are they asleep in the last one? silly things half falling out!! too cute theyre in exactly the same position though!!!!

oh helen i love them soooooooo much!!!!!!! bet you cant stop smiling XX

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #55 on:** May 01, 2007, 14:21:58 PM »

They are going to be indoors, if I move to somewhere suitable for catproofing then I will definitely do that and let them out but for the moment they will be indoor only. Seeing as you asked so nicely here's a couple from today

They are in the spare room at the moment so I had a good nights sleep,

Bet that was painful tearing yourself away. Let me guess, you went to bed at 2am, worried for 3 hours and got up again at 5am to see them?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #53 on:** May 01, 2007, 14:00:45 PM »

Cody thinks mia's & Kali's big ears are lurverly and matches his

forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa) · « **Reply #52 on:** May 01, 2007, 13:56:37 PM »

Helen when they r old enough r they gonna be indoor cats only or indoor/outdoor?

any more pics ?

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #51 on:** May 01, 2007, 10:52:38 AM »

No, no - big ears are a good thing

Riley seems to be very jealous of Kali's 'assets' and bites them at every opportunity

She actually reminds me of a grey version of Mia, she is so delicate with really fine features and has well, *ahem* rather large ears

Hey!!! Are you slagging off my kitten?! Shame on you!

She's got very pretty ears!

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #49 on:** May 01, 2007, 10:27:26 AM »

Oh bless them

It sounds like they're settling in really well. If only they'd do a poo! Personally, I think I'd wait until they've done a poo before letting them in the rest of the house in case they just aren't keen on using the tray for poos. If that's the case you don't want to give them too many alternative places to go. I'll send poo vibes your way!

Thanks again everyone, I'm the proudest Mum on earth

They are just the most wonderful kittens, I have just taken a beautiful picture of Kali but will wait until I have another nice one of Riley before I show it off, don't want to be accused of favouritism

It may take some time though, he won't stay still! They are in the spare room at the moment so I had a good nights sleep, we had a lovely snuggly cuddle before bed again and then when I went in in the morning they just looked angelic sleeping, within 45 seconds they were whirling round the room like a tornado! They must think their name is 'careful' as that's all I seem to be saying. The way they are crashing into walls and furniture is scaring me, I don't want them to hurt themselves

I think they are settled enough to be introduced to the rest of the house now but am a bit worried as they haven't done a poo yet, their foster Mum said they were still doing the odd poo in the corner. They definitely know what the litter tray is for as they have done at least 3 wees each, in fact they love it in there - they are fascinated with the granules moving as they dig. Come on little ones, do a poo!

Helen they look lovely little bundles of fluff and so clever too to use the litter tray!!! The first day that I bought Jet and Cruz home I had to wipe poo from the floor behind the TV and the bin in the kitchen

Kali is a darling, i think I'm in love
