they look so alike how sweet


How wrong can you be. I bet they are just lulling him into a false sense of security before they start climbing the curtains, marking the laptop and taking a dump in the pot plants.

Very cute, and it's easy to spot the male from the female (females have pointier faces )

When we took them to the vets a week ago they said they were both girls but that it could take up to 6 months for them to give a definate answer, so currently we have 2 girls but we're convinced Archie is just a late developer!

I just wish I could stop the little buggars chewing at my laptop wires and hogging all the space on the bean bag or sofa!

They were 10 weeks old yesterday

Funnily enough our old next door neighbours had a silver/black tabby called Archie which turned out to be Hilda...

Both kittens I've had were 'boys' that turned out to be girls when they went to the vet for jabs!

Re-homing centres like cats protection league (where I got mine) always tell you it's whatever gender you ask for - with a small kitten it's apparently impossible to tell.

Ours looked as though butter wouldn't melt when we got them...

Reality has now kicked in and we know better.

They went out in the snow for the 1st time today - one was pretty freaked and both decided that it was a bit too cold for their paws.

So, how are the terrible twosome? I hope that they are not giving you grey hair!

One of mine disappeared a while back, I searched and searched, nothing. Put up posters, knocked on doors, etc. Turns up over 2 weeks later, screaming his head off, looking lots thinner... I think he must have got shut in a shed. (Damn those people who only cut the grass every other week! biggrin )

Having said that, maybe I should try getting locked in a shed for 2 weeks, I could do with loosing a few pounds.

They're great fun! Getting much bigger now (that reminds me I need to get some new pics taken - and get the old ones on my new web host).

They've been escaping through windows and everything else!

We've moving house in about ten days so we've got to look forward to putting them in the cattery for a couple of days.

They just love being outside as much as possible so they'll hate being stuck inside for 2 weeks in the new place.

I had my tom cat's plums removed and my female cat had the op too.

I was worried that they'd never forgive me or were just plain boring cats but they attract everyones attnetion that notices them. Mind you that's pretty easy with one rolling around trying to impress and the other having a very short tail (short version of the story, cat+car=£502) that he wags like a dog.

I bought my two from what used to be kittycat rescue. Don't bother wanting a particular colour. I wanted a couple of jet black cats but couldn't be happier with a ginger and white tom and a tortoiseshell.
