Thread: 2 New Kittens

I think names do lend themselves to each animal & I also think it is good if they can get used to being called by their names before they arrive, one of ours that was only named a couple of days before we had him was Bruce & that was because it all happened so quickly,China being adult kept hers the breeder had already named Pansy as she was so small she said her face looked like the flower so she kept that & Merlyn,Shimba,Wellynton Boots & Ruby were all named by the time they were three weeks & would answer to them before they left the breeder.... Perhaps when you have seen a bit more of them one will suddenly seem right,I think its one of the best parts of having a new babe..x

Hi Vanadis

Ohhh lucky you - the babies are absolutely gorgeous!

Re the litter box ... we have the same one for our elderly Tigs (he's not MC and only weighs a fraction over 4kg) ... it's excellent and does keep the smell way down, but I really don't think that it's big enough for a fully grown MC. I totally agree with Jackie, two is an excellent idea, but I also think that you may find yourself replacing them with something bigger as the babies get older. We have found that even Tigs has occasionally stepped in a 'present' :-( And on the odd occasion that one of the kits has gone in to 'check it out' it's been a very snug fit indeed.

We have two of these for the 'kits' - Great Deals on Cat Litter Boxes & Cat Accessories at zooplus: Jumbo Cat Litter Box with Rim
and find that the size is better, but of course they don't have a lid.

Somebody (on here I think?) suggested getting the large under bed storage lockers with lids and cutting a flap / hole in them. Hopefully someone can help with that more? Having said that they would probably be far too big for the babies initially ...

I also totally agree with Jackie about the scratching post - invaluable And yes, more pics please!
