I want the grey and white one on the right 
My daughter wants all of them! She works at weekend looking after kittens at Cats Protection league, you would think that she would be fed up of them by now.
He was the last to be reserved and only got reserved on Friday! My daughter wants all of them! She works at weekend looking after kittens at Cats Protection league, you would think that she would be fed up of them by now.
fed up of kittens?! NEVER!! lol
Can you DHL them to Dubai please???
Sooo cute. Once I get settled in my new place I shall be adopting, the problem with Dubai is it is such a transient place a lot of people if they are leaving, put their animals up for adoption rather than take them with them due to the costs.
I wouldn't be able to do that, I wouldn't care if I had to sell stuff and live on beans on toast, my kittehs would be coming with me where ever I went next.
Breaks my heart..

I want the third one in from the left. He seems to be in that same position in all photos. All grey with tufts of white. All of them are gorgeous though.
That's Sox, he comes with a health warning - wear long trousers at all times! he likes leg climbing, and at this age cant retract his claws, little so and so has been carefully removed from my skin on a few occasions!!

haha mesmerising them all with a rattle toy held above my head!!! 
here are some "outtakes"
Those are officialy the cutest photographs ever taken of anything, anywhere.here are some "outtakes"
Surely there must be a greetings card manufacturer or similar who would pay good money for those?
Great pictures.
Not mine. This...
...is "Basil". He's next door's cat, but they seem to have decided that he's an 'outdoor cat' and he doesn't seem to like the kids, either. So he spends large parts of his day sloping around my garden, 'nesting' under various bushes and shrubs according to where the sun has warmed the earth.
He's no real bother, except for munching his way through the wild bird population, but I feel sorry for him, especially when I see him sitting forlornly, staring into next door through the patio doors, mewing pathetically. I don't think Basil got the memo, regarding his new status as an outdoor cat.

He looks like a lovely cat; he's welcome in my garden anytime he likes. Boris, my moggie, might well disagree though......is "Basil".

Sounds like you had better find him a place on your settee.yellowjack said:
Don't tell my wife, but I'd love for him to come into the house, especially when it's raining, but so far he hasn't come round to trusting me, and won't come in. He's getting closer, though, and has come up to the patio doors a couple of times, but when I unlock the door he scurries away. There's a lot of shouting next door these days, and I don't think the poor chap likes it one little bit. There's a sad story behind that, though, but I won't go into it on t'internet.
Keep it up, he will 
especially as it gets colder 
Open the door, come to it, go away & leave it open - curiosity & a trail of food, will help Oh & kneel down to him, without staring directly at him. They will trust you a lot quicker if you get down to their level & don't stare (they stare at prey/things they don't like).
You may want to have a chat with next door first, just to say that he's unhappy & you'd like to help them make him happier, if they don't mind, by letting him into your house when they aren't able to do so. Then there's no fall out.

Where's the fall out? Basil's hardly going to go back and say "Hey, you'll never guess where I'VE been all day..." is he? especially as it gets colder Open the door, come to it, go away & leave it open - curiosity & a trail of food, will help Oh & kneel down to him, without staring directly at him.

without even thinking:-Them deciding he's been catnapped
Them deciding he's no longer 'their' cat when it comes to Vet bills
