Our new fur-babies


Billy, aged 4 mths.  This is Claire's kitten.














George aged 2 mths.  This is Katie's kitten.














It is a nice feeling to have kittens here again.  It has been almost 2 1/2 years since our last cat who got frightened by the alarm one day not long after we moved in here.

The girls have loved the kittens today.  Like all kids (I guess) when there is something new around.  They are always trying to pick them up.   One good point with Billy being that little bit older he is more placid and doesn't mind the cuddles.  Which is good as there are plenty to be had.  George on the other hand is the playful one.   Although these two are not related, we got them from the Animal Shelter and they were in the same pen together.

I will leave you with a pic of the scratching post or more like activity gym for them.  

We did get the cats a scratching post that we got online, a huge saving of at least $300.  We (note Hubby) put this together on Saturday.  The girls though there soft toy animals would love to use it first.   This measures over 2 metres (6ft) tall.  It is huge.

Adorable additions to the family. Thanks for adopting from the Animal Shelter. Now that's quite an entertaining scratching post. My niece's cat kept taking and hiding one specific stuffed toy.

Thanks Tammy, all of my cats have some from a shelter. They love that scratching post. We might keep them as inside cats for a while, as we have too many cats in the area now.
