Kitties

WE adopted 2 more kittens - wanted just one more but it seems like the brothers are more of a bonded pair.

This ginger is Chestnut.
He's probably the older.  I was told they are about 12 weeks old, but I reckon, almost 4mths old.
He's been re-homed and returned - apparently with diarrhea from eating too much human food.  I guess people still don't understand that like people, not everyone is able to consume the same food type.  People think, they were strays to begin with, with no access to cat food but food scraps.  What people fail to realise is, how many of these strays actually live till a ripe old age?

This one is Pewter.  He's the 'smaller' so in a litter, that would make him the one born later.  He's not as bright, but has no health issues.  He was also returned after the initial rehome.

He seems to be the healthier of the two, yet he was returned to the foster.

Perhaps, they should have never been separated although that requirement will make it more difficult to find them a home.

Case in point, a little trouble goes a long way - In this day and age, people still buy or adopt pets without really thinking about how much time they have to invest.  Not so much in playing with them, since cats are generally self-sustaining creatures but in the cleaning up after them - their litter tray and their diet.  There must always be enough food and decent food.  Owners must make sure the food agrees with them.


The brothers love playing, like all kittens.  It might seem rough because they will be mewing and spitting at each other, but it's all for play.

My fat cat is not in agreement with this adoption but then, he has no choice.  He's the tenant in my home and he has to understand that these kitties need a home.
