Keep em coming!
I LOVE THEM lols
I've always been a dog person, and never wanted a cat.
Then after watching episodes of the trailerpark boys, I changed my mind, I didn't hate them anymore (obviously Bubbles was my fave character)
Then 2 days ago, my brother brought this little cutie home:
I fell in love with her instantly, she is soooooo cute! He named her Wednesday.
My brother and his workmates rescued her along with 2 of her siblings.
We think she is only a couple weeks old, so my brother is playing the part of her surrogate mum, lol
Stray cats that live behind the back of the warehouse where he works gave birth to them recently. Anyways, there was fear of them being run over by the forklifts and the big boss was gonna take the babies to the RSPCA. So my brother and 2 other workmates took one home each instead. Sadly, kitty number 4 was ended by a forklift
We're currently feeding her with a bottle, and have a vets appointment tomorrow.
Just wanted to share the cute photo with you. She is just a little bit bigger than a can of coke lols
Anyways, we've never had a cat before let alone a newborn-ish one, so we are taking it to the vets tomorrow.
I feel kinda bad for her being away from her mum, but she seems o have accepted us as her family
So any tips for a new cat owner.I already know the one about danger to natives so we will put a bell on her, feed her well and raise her as an indoor cat.
Oh yeah, post pics of your kittys too, i'd love to see em
Cheers

About a month ago now my brother brought home a stray who he named Thursday

The black one is my turtle shell
). He's a burmese and he's very much an in your face kind of cat. In fact, he's currently sitting right in front of me demanding attention. He's pretty smart too, he's learned how to open the sliding wardrobe doors, he opens the pantry door, he worked out the screen sliding doors, and he's pretty close to figuring out the front door, he jumps and hangs on with his back feet in the fly screen and his front paws wrapped around the handle 'cause he sees us doing something with that and the door opens.. won't take him long to work out what to do. He also opens drawers in the kitchen and the coffee table and sits in them. He likes to wait at the sink until you put the plug in and fill it up a little so he can drink. He only goes outside with a harness, I just tether him to 'his' tree and he's happy as just sitting there in the sun. He knows what the harness is, if I go and get it, he'll come running and sit on my lap and try and shove his head through it to put it on and starts purring like mad. He's also learned what time I get home and 5 mins before I get home he starts pacing between the window and the front door and greets me with a yowl as if to say 'hurry up it's my dinner time!' lol.
This is my cat Chickin (yes I know it's a weird name
he wasn't so impressed about the jumper (it's the dog's jumper, I just wondered if he'd tolerate it)
I would definitely not encourage your kitten to bite, I let mine bite as a kitten and we thought it was cute that he would chase our feet under the blanket... and then summer came around and the blanket was now a sheet and the pouncing hurt a fair bit, lol. Also he now bites a lot when playing, and hard! I cut his claws, otherwise I'd look like I shoved my arms in a blender. He's not a fan of having his claws cut though, so I'd suggest making sure it's a good experience for your kitten, get someone to distract him with tasty treats while you do it, and if he doesn't like it, I'd only do one paw at a time so you're not holding him down to get them all done.
