An update from the McKitty household.
10 days in and dare I say it but things are going very well with the McKitties. Feels like that's them settled in now. They have the whole run of the house now too but are usually where we are. They come when called now too which is very sweet.
They're eating Bozita raw cartoned food but are currently on Felix Kitten as I underestimated how much they would eat, plus Zooplus, well DPD, are delivering in 6 days instead of the normal 3.
But God their poos smell just now and aren't like sausages anymore, so I hope that changes when their usual stuff comes back as it doesn't make for a pleasant bedroom atmosphere I can tell you!.
They are using the litter boxes no bother including their wee night one in their crate which we are still using, as when we let them go free, they run wild round the bedroom jumping on the dog and everything. Then they sleep on you so that you can't move and we get up looking wrecked and I don't sleep at the best of times. So for just now its cosy bed in their crate, door shut, blanket over the top and they didn't make a peep til 8 this morning.
I would never have believed in just over a week the kittens and our dogs would be getting on like they've always been together. Someone had told us that from day one, just put them down and let them get on with it. I tell you my heart was in my mouth lots of times. I have never seen kittens appear so evil and vicious as they were on day one. Backs arched hissing, scratching the lot. I'm in tears saying, "It's not going to work, we'll have to put them back" Tonight Archie was on the coffee table playing with a piece of paper and Staffa has his head leaning on the table just watching, literally 2 inches away and Archie went up nose to nose like he was giving him a kiss.....and did the photographer have a camera, iPhone, iPad?? No, of course not!
Our wee old dog Pugsey just acts like their not there, 'Kittens, what kittens?' well until they've just finished eating and then Pug licks their bowls clean!
Their two favourite things are their cat tree and their flip up cube from the Purrs shop, I could watch them for ages with that and Staffa does literally, with his head stuck through one of the portholes. He so thinks he's a cat and wants to join in!
From day one they have both slept during the day in the top bed of their tree without fail. For some reason for the last two days Archie has decided to sit up on your knee and then as he gets more sleepy the lower he becomes, until he's flat out on your lap. It's so lovely.
So that's us up to date with Bonnie and Archie, long may it continue!
