Kittens

Our kittens are almost ready to leave for new homes.  Got 7 with 3 mums.  All sleep together, but mums know whose who!  Impossible to take pic of all 7, they move so quick

Oh, Little Blue, we have three very fluffy black and white ones - mum is long haired.  Two lovely grey and white ones, who are short haired as well.  I have been making a fuss of them, and picking them up, so they are quite tame.  They had some goats milk with their tea tonight, and loved it.

Went in this afternoon and there was Lillian, mum of 4 of the kittens, and granny to the rest.....She was flat out, and all 7 were feeding from her.  She is very good with all the kittens, and spends a lot of time sitting with them, whereas the other two mums go off hunting.  OK when they have such a good baby sitter!!!

A mad rush of people for the kittens - only two left now.  Not gone yet, will be next weekend.  All got nice homes with nice people, which is my main priority.  Two are off to Lancashire to a farm.  I like it when they can go in pairs, and two more are going to some nice people in Derbyshire, and one to Cheshire, so they are getting about our kittens.

ours will be ready to go in a couple of weeks and I am dreading it!! they are gorgeous and sleep on my bed  ::)  one has a good home with a little boy down our lane but the other 4 are yet to be advertised. how do you go about finding the 'right' homes? I don't want them to go just anywhere  :-\

THank goodness we are too far away and the B&B prevents us having cats as they would end up in peoples rooms ::) I had cats for years previouse to moving up to Scotland and running this business, now, part of me would like a fluffy pedegree one!! Anyway, they are so much fun and cute and easy to look after!!

Plums, I would try locally first, people you know.  Kittens seem in short supply round here, and even the RSPCA have none, due to most females being speyed, which is good.  But not for people wanting kittens of course.

I give my kittens to friends, and thats what I prefer.  But if I advertise them, I put a price on them, hoping that will mean genuine people will come for them, and look after them, although not always the case sadly.  Some people came for one last year, for their daughter.  Knocked me down on the price (and I had wormed and de flead the kitten).  Two weeks later I saw my kitten on pre loved.  I was so upset.

Little Blue, what happened to you resisting those big eyes?  You did not put up much of a fight did you ;D

I cannot really say much about resisting things, as I look round at what could easily be thought of as an animal sanctuary.

I am trying to get a pic of your kittens - but each time I try, I end up with either just a body, or maybe a tail ......they never sit still!!
Will keep trying, hopefully get lucky eventually.

I have that trouble, especially with the enormous dog:  just photos of fluffy blurs!
