No more sleeps. It's gotcha day

It is Purrsday, Susanne - you're right!!

Aw Nic, that's such a beautiful tribute to Bailey that Andy put together.

His tunnel was made to be played with, and Chester and beau will, I'm sure, carry on the tradition. (Sorry Bailey, but you can be keeping your eyes on them and making sure they don't give your Mum and dad too much of a runaround.

Beautiful boy.

)

Cant wait for updates, now.

It's Purrsday

Can't believe it's almost kitten time

Andy finished putting together a video for my wee Bailey tonight. I can't watch it without falling apart but I absolutely love it.
It captures my funny, balloon obsessed, greedy, cuddly, noisy boy so perfectly. I miss him so, so much

I wanted to share it with you lovely purrs peeps & I'll post it on his Rainbow Bridge thread.

The part with him playing in his tunnel really had me blubbing, especially as tomorrow it will be passed on to two new furbabies for them to play in (Bailey really wouldn't approve!

)

One more sleep

No matter how well you've kitten proofed there will be somewhere you've missed

Kito has been an extremely well behaved kitten and a dream to look after whereas Mosi was a hooligan from the minute he put paw inside the house. I think he turned me grey overnight. will you get Mosi's or Kito's - that is the question

I dread to think what Bramble left behind when she found a way to get behind and under the fitted kitchen units!

Nicola (RockysMum) · « **Reply #190 on:** October 14, 2015, 15:05:01 PM »

Oh, I can relate to that. When I got Jake, he ignored the tray. Instead, he squeezed himself into a 3 inch gap at the side of my washing machine & crawled in as far as he could get

I remember when we got our very first kitten we thought he didn't use the tray a lot but as he did use it we thought that must be how kittens were......until we pulled out the bed in the spare room

How he managed to squat in 4inches clearance height I don't know to this day!

Looking forward to hearing how they settle in

Today means one more sleep to go! . I hope we've helped the time to pass more quickly, and not driven you too mad, Nic.

You have indeed helped the time pass, it’s been lovely sharing the excitement with my fellow cat crazies!

The meow dictionary - the cat to human translator

I may need a new one for new puddy cats.
Baileys main meows were the “Rouw-oh-ROUW” which translated as “OMG! Prawns!! She has PRAWNS! Gimme, gimme, gimme!”

And the much used at 3am:

“YOOOOW-OWWWW-OWWWWW!”

which translated as:

“I’m all alone in the living room and even though I always find you in the same bedroom you’ve been in for 15 years…..WHERE ARE YOU?!! Please wake immediately and issue me with a formal invitation to come join you”

If you have blinds in your kitchen ensure that that nothing is left dangling

Yip, blind cords are now wrapped up inside empty loo roll tubes & taped in place. My kitchen looks fabulous

Kitten proofing is all done. My OH said last night that we have achieved “Kitten proof level – expert” he's in for a shock

No surprise that he’s never had kittens. If there’s anything we’ve missed they’ll be sure to find it first!

Ooooooh yes - snuggling kittens inna night time.

Worth having insomnia for.

Thermocat....

Purdy Bear · « **Reply #181 on:** October 14, 2015, 08:19:01 AM »

It's getting so exciting, I wonder if you've remembered to get:

The meow dictionary - the cat to human translator
The paw perfector - a device to prod ones kitties bed to make sure its comfy
The thermocat - like a thermostat to test temperatures of beds to make sure they are just right, not to cold nor to hot.
The kitty litter odour exterminator - does what it says on the tin.

One more sleep to go
One more sleep to go
Just wait and see
The kitties will soon be
In bed next to thee

Oh yes, I'd be going to bed early too.

Susanne, yes, that's a perfect illustration of kittens being able to find mischief in an empty room.

Thank goodness you were on hand to sort things out.

2 more sleeps to go, 2 more sleeps to go, two more, one more, no more sleeps until Nic gets Chester and Beau

If you have an afternoon nap does it shorten the number of sleeps left?

I'm actually seriously thinking of going to bed early the next few nights so it comes quicker!

Oh, that could've been nasty Suzanne! I'll cut them off. They can still play with them but better safe than sorry!

I'm going mad waiting now, I have a feeling the next few days are going to drag!!!:-[

I did wonder about one thing though. They will be spending their days in the kitchen while we’re at work just until they’re a bit bigger. I got them a scratching barrel with hidey holes to leave in there with them, but it has little toys dangling from it on elastic. You can see it in the pics I posted before. Is it safe to leave them alone with those? Or should I cut them off?

I would cut them off. I may be over cautious but when I had my Jaffa and Magpie as kittens I bought a cat tree with a toy dangling from a piece of string. One day Magpie got it wrapped around his paw and was left dangling and screaming. Fortunately I was nearby and able to run to his rescue straight away but if he'd been alone I dread to think of what might have happened. So now all those sort of dangly toys get cut off.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #165 on:** October 12, 2015, 11:58:34 AM »

Nic, the main risk I would foresee in terms of their scratching barrel with the attachments is if they chewed the elastic the balls are attached to. You could see how they go with it while you're around to supervise. Some cats aren't chewy, others are.

The one thing you can guarantee with kittens though, is if there's mischief, they'll find it. Would seem a shame to detach the balls altogether - maybe pop it elsewhere while you're out and substitute it with one without attachments, then swap them over when you or Andy are home to keep a beady eye on things.

Meant to say I love the "cat Napping" bed.

Yip, definitely Thursday evening, which means...

3 sleeps to go!!!

It’s getting torturous now. Aaarghhh!!!!

All these posts are keeping me well entertained though

Spent yesterday kitten proofing the house. But no doubt they will still find a teeny tiny gap somewhere to wriggle into

Meow Meow Meow the car
Gently down the street
Kitties to come home
In just three days
And finally find their feet.
