Friday Kitteh Fuzz!

[Vintage Paw]

Our Charlie of Doom is a ginger tom. He's affectionate and loving, and purrs a lot and likes to sleep under the covers with us (except in summer) and has his mad half hour like all cats do and bites my ankles and loves a good belly rub and loves having his ears massaged and gets jealous and wants to be part of everything if we're sitting together ignoring him and is adorable and lovely.

Ginger cats ftw!

I'd always choose a ginger over all other colours. Mine was a bit of a handful for his first 15 years, but he's settling down now

Even when I got him, as a filthy 6 week-old ball of fear and anger, he was very particular about where he pooped - admittedly it was behind the radio, rather than in the tray provided, but at least it was always in the same place.

Our ginger cat's a bastard. He sprays, despite having been 'done'. He sprays a lot. And he's not even ours - my uncle abandoned him to us.

All our other cats are nice.

They're not ginger.

Proof. Proof, I tell you!

My kittens (who are more like adolescents, really), are destroying my house. I come down every morning to something that has been knocked over or broken, or both. They are eating the table cloth, clawing apart the jelly wrist rest thing, eating cd covers, tearing up magazines... You get the picture. Also, they keep jumping up onto my lap and then twisting their claws into me as they jump onto the next stage. I am scarred, I tell you, scarred! If I am sitting on the sofa watching telly, they will attack my hair or my feet. When I walk down the stairs they attack my skirt. They rub round my ankles while I am getting up in the morning, in an attempt to trip me up and make me fall down the stairs. If you leave chocolate around, even still in its wrapper, they will tear the paper to get to the chocolate. Last night, they were even sniffing my takeaway curry to see if they fancied eating it! If I am feeling relaxed, and fancy having a bit of a cuddle with a cat, they bite my hands and scratch my arms while I am trying to stroke them. When I am sitting at the computer there is usually one on the back of my chair, head rubbing my head, and one on top of the computer cupboard, threatening to knock stuff off...

And I only have two.

I would like to bet that, by the time those gorgeous little bundles of fluff are 12 weeks old, you will be pleading with someone to come and rehome them!

They sound lovely. It's a long time since you posted any pics of them

I thought people might have got bored! Besides, the kittens aren't changing anymore - it is the house that is being destroyed. I will download some pictures more from flickr, but not to this thread, because this is about those gorgeous bundles of fluff, and not my badly behaved adolescents

I've always wanted a ginger kitteh, and after coming back from hols I am going to get one.

 

[Guineveretoo]

I can't imagine that was a comfortable position to sit in!

She actually got into the washing basket when it was upstairs. I carried her down in it!

That's a great picture. Pics of her destroying your house would be nice

No, no, no.

The mighty moggies are destroying THEIR house.

She looks like she should be on a tree branch there, very 'big' cat

 

[Guineveretoo]

Her sister had been on the floor below her a few minutes before that picture was taken, but then left, leaving whichever kitten that is, looking a bit silly!

I don't have photos of them destroying my house, as I have a crazy idea of stopping them when I catch them. Silly, I know. But this means a lot happens while I am asleep or at work!

Long black cat hairs are almost impossible to get out of light coloured carpets. All the carpets in my house are light coloured. It's moulting season.

 

[SwizzleStiX]

They ain't going ANYWHERE until they're 12 weeks. And even then you'll probably have to claw them out of my cold, dead hands

Given the amount we cuddle, tickle and generally play with them I'm hoping they'll be lovely, friendly social kittehs

Bit worried about ginger pooping though! Weaning/litter training to tackle next

Good luck with that

What poise, posey paws.

Ginger cats are ace. They don't all poo in places we would rather they didn't. Some can be a bit keen on their food though and grow portly. No speyed cat sprays smelly stuff.

 

[Guineveretoo]

My cats are not ginger, but they poo in places I would rather they didn't!

Their latest is a few inches away from the litter trays, which took me ages to track down, believe it or not!

Cat elevator!

She's got you well trained!

Our ginger cat doesn't poo in inappropriate places, but he doesn't sometimes get spooked half way through and run through the house with half of it hanging out of his arse. They don't tell you these things in the cute kitteh training videos, do they? Oh no. It's all purrs and belly tickles and chasing feathered toys and face rubbing. No poo trails around your living room.

He's also quite portly. He had worms as a kitten and his belly was huge with them. His skin never went back to normal afterwards, so he has this massive undercarriage totally out of proportion to the rest of him, and it flaps hugely from side to side when he runs. Or rather, when he saunters.
