Awww they are gorgeous Cologne

Awww lovely kitties, Cologne. I want the tortie and white one!

Gorgeous kittens, Cologne.

Thanks all. They're quite a bit bigger now and starting to playfight and trying to escape the basket.

Have you decided how many kittens you are going to keep?

Awwww they are so cute

I have two people who would like one. One is my best friend down here and she has chosen one, the other is somebody I don't know personally (recommended), but I don't think I can do it. I can cope with the one going to my friend, I'll be able to see her, but the other two are staying with me and that means I'm well on the way to my oldest nightmare, beings the weird cat spinster in the village.

i love cats-but my greyhounds would think id bought them a dinner that they had to catch themselves

awww they're beautiful Cologne 

There are worse things to be, than mad cat lady.

Thanks pengy.

Yogi, I suppose you're right, anyhoo I find I don't really care anymore. The kittens are lovely, the mum is lovely, I've put a plan in place to find them homes when I kick the bucket, so I will enjoy having them until then.

dont say that! youve got a dicky ticker not a subscription for a supply of cucumbers!

no, I have a dicky lung. I love cucumbers though.

well just dont think like that

cos it wont do you any good

and

thats an order

Aww Cologne.

Pirate and yogi

Someone call? Aww Cologne they are wee sweethearts.

Lovely pics - beautiful kitties. I don't think you're mad at all - if you want to keep them why shouldn't you? Kitties are great company and I'm sure they'll give you hours of fun and love.

Quick update. They are all asleep, which is great because they figured out how to get out the basket and it's nice to have some peace. I'll get some pics during the next weeks, they really are very cute now.

They are running riot in my living room, two are back in the basket, one's under the couch. In the meantime the cat I thought was the best mother in the world is eating the kitten food I am trying to introduce them to. Deary me.

Ok, all's calm now, so I'm going off, turning down the lights and listen to 5live to myself and hopefully get to sleep soon like this little lot under my desk.

All cats seem to devour kitten food, it must taste really good!

Aww I miss having kitties. When I was little our cat had four babies, and they used to have races up the net curtains

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww sooooo sweet... just wanna cuddle them....aaawwwwwwww

The kittens have taken over the living room. I can't contain them in the basket, so I've turned it on it's side. They can come and go as they wish. Every door and window is shut though.

Quick update. Gross. My cat has brought in three dead birds today, did her little noise for the kittens and tried to make them understand how to eat it. I was almost physically sick, but at the same time it's quite fascinating to see nature in action. I have to up my game with the weaning so the bird killing will stop.

Does mummy cat have a bell on her collar, Cologne? If she's a hunter, you may keep getting dead bird presents brought to you/the babies. One of my cats had a bell but still managed to swipe at the birds.

The nature of it all is fascinating though isn't it.

She doesn't have a bell because one of my cats nearly strangled itself on a tree branch. Eversince then, I haven't put anything round my cats' neck. She has brought in a couple of huge black birds over the year, but today really was a training exercise in feeding. She's never killed small birds and she's never eaten any of her prey.

Aww it's instinct, isn't it.

Sorry to hear about your cat and the collar, I can understand why you wouldn't put one on after an accident like that.

Your kittens are gorgeous Cologne. Don't like the sound of what mummy cat's doing though. But it is nature I suppose, so can't blame her.

I don't know if that works, but if it does, they are all there as per today.

Have a look at them, they are sweeties.

I couldn't access them Cologne Probably cos I am on a Mac.....

 I'll try another way Baz. They are too cute not to be shown off.

OK Cologne.... cos neither Ros or Ducky can get in either....

no I can't
