We're picking up a Blue British shorthair kitten tonight, I can't wait I've been badgering the Missus for years about getting one and she's finally caved in

Lots of pictures to follow

Is that an Exotic?

She's a Persian pensioner. Nearly 19 now and still going strong. Not many teeth left but she still eats like a horse.

So many gorgeous new kitties <3

Love the big eared rescues Nur, well done. Super cute Barnubus, as well as the other cats posted - so much love.

But this one...

Just acquired this little cutie in Kabul. Probably under two months old. Remarkable red streaks. It will be interesting to see if the colour changes as she grows up.

Meantime, ridiculously cute.

How unique. Love the red! Never seen anything that vivid before. Has he/she has a normal diet? Do you know the Mother's colour? Looks like a little devil. It needs a suitable name... please keep the thread updated. That's all of the above!

Thanks Gretchen! I hope you don't mind but I think I may borrow your theme, calling the black and white Steve French and the black one Randy.

Provisional names for now of course, could well change.

It would be lovely to see more pictures of the kittens as they grow up.

I picked up young Bob two weeks ago from the rescue home, now approx. 10 weeks old. Boris the incumbent mog has just about accepted his presence in Digi towers now.

Haven't seen the mother or the rest of the litter. We asked for a kitten and this one turned up in a box. She's on tinned tuna at the moment, to make her big and strong and intelligent.

Looks like a character. Kidney wise, is tuna good food for such a small kitten. I was thinking salt and mercury in particular.

apologies for hijack but as this is THE cat thread, my cats lefty eye seems gammy, and before i pay massive amounts at the vet, anybody recommend an infected eye drop, are human ones o.k to use?

Massive amounts? Consultation & drops should only be around £60. Most vets would say only if its not cleared up in a week come back.
Hardly a fortune when most on here seem quite willing to spend £1000-£3000 on wrist trinkets.

o.k but when eye drops are 4.50 or 60 quid from a vet seems a bit of a con, will take to vet.

Yup I wouldn't risk it personally. Just on a size basis alone any amount of medication suitable for a human may be too potent for a much smaller creature is my layman's thinking

There are plenty of substances used for medication in humans that'll knacker a cat in pretty short order; not worth the risk. If money's an issue look up the PDSA in the phone book.
