Thread: How many, if any, have only one MC?

How true Halcyon. We also only planned to get one MC kitten, as we had 2 moggies at the time. But while at the breeder's I fell for Larry's brother, a gorgeous black smoke baby, and couldn't get him out of my mind even though Larry was wonderful. Unfortunately Monty was reserved by someone else, but then luckily for us it fell through. So we ended up with the two of them, and they are the best of mates. Monty is very much 'my' cat, (in fact he's a proper mummy's boy) and the OH is head-over-heels into Larry. But they are both affectionate with both of us.

Our breeder said to us on our first meeting, most people who have one kitten come back for another one at some stage. For us, it was one week later! Is this a record??

Nope. No record. Well, yes maybe. I went to visit "my" litter, picked the two boys but played with and took photos of them all. I got home, (this is a Saturday evening) looked at the photos, saw a little angel face staring at me and phoned back on Sunday to take Bertie too. So, from 2 to 3 in 24 hours...

Peter, I guess you take the prize....

We went from one to two in minutes {still not so bad as Peter ending up with three}
I went to see Shimba & Welly came & sat by me just staring,breeder said he wants to come with you as well,hubby was washing his hands at that point,when he came in Welly went straight to him & told him he was the one,which hubby believed until I said no I am holding ours,rest is history but so pleased that he did choose to belong to us along with his bruv.....

Well - it goes like this

I started with 1 - Sarah

I then just had to have another - Zack

I have just organised to get the 3rd - "Boris" He is a black and white and I will get him in a couple of months. The Breeders are going to do a couple of shows with him then he will come over for me to show.

Here he is after he had been playing in his tray.

My mother thought he was an unusual colour - I had to explain it was just 'dirt'

This will make 4 in total as I have an 8yr old DLH as well

You just cant seem to stay at 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just love the grubby kitty, what a really cute MC

Boris is a cutie Heather,I am sure he will do well on the show circuit,how did the breeder manage to get him white again{although it does make you giggle to see his innocent expression} I end up in tears when Welly gets his back socks looking like that the day before a show.....
After reading how you came to tot up your numbers I think I now know why I can't soften hubby up to go back to six in number.

1st Adult retired breeding queen. RIP
2nd Baby a year later ,because as you rightly said one MC not enough.
3rd Baby flat chested sis to one above needing good home out of next same mating,it
was hubby who said yes to her but as she turned out half pint size & adorable so pleased that she joined us.


4th Baby who was of colour & pattern that I had wanted for over four years.He came
& joined us & turned out huge so in size made up for the smallness of half pint.
5th Baby,three years later due to 4th babe retiring from show scene but as stated
6th Baby within minutes of 5th.

Now here is where I think I shot myself in the foot,after having the two together I said that how I wish I had done it that way before because it was so much fun watching them both & IF EVER we had anymore would luv to do the same again.
Now isn't that great,you tell him something & five minutes later he's forgotten it, no,no you never told me...this happened over three years ago & he aint b***y forgot that.So I think the idea of six is ok but perhaps seven is one MC too many for him & he is not going to risk it !

Haha Jackie it's the famous 'selective memory' you have fallen foul of there!
By the way, I've often wondered, what do you mean by flat-chested? On a cat? I've never really got that...
