Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! I think cuties is an understatement! I want a kitty, my parents said no wait till I move out! But awwwwww to your new kitties ^_^

awwww. cute. :o)


Do they put their ears on at the time of collection?

Awwwww :D :D

I want a cat tooo!
And why do they look so upset/sad? :( Was that picture taken after they were informed that you'd be the new owner? ;-)


Just messing :)
They have the same looking eyes. Way cute :))

They're sisters, from the same litter, the wife (hehe) went to view while I was at work and couldn't decide which one to get - so she got them both. Yay!

Their ears I think are a trait of the breed, there's one type where the ears are folded over slightly like that, but that might just be cos they're so young and they may straighten up over time. Hopefully

Your cats are really cute! I was wondering, where did the idea for the name Bramble come? I must say, very good name choices.

Even before we found any kitten going for sale we were discussing names, we've also been doing the same for baby names - just in case you understand :D

We had a list of maybe 30 names, we tried doing that David Beckham thing of coming up with names according to places you've been or things that you like, which gave some interesting ideas: Vegas, Dollar, Mandalay, Capone, Neo (this was short for Neopolitan, like the ice cream, but also referenced The Matrix, hehe). Actually now we have got names for them I can't remember most of the ones on the list as they seem to fit the kittens so well its hard to think of anything else :D

Bramble came about as she says it reminded her of autumn (or "fall" as those Americans call it, he) and the colours just made her think of it. Hopefully its not because she's all scratchy and claw-y and always hurting your hands :S

Whenever anyone says bramble I think of the teacher/bloke at Epping Forest when I was a bit younger. We were investigating the vegetation and the guy would call it "bwaaaaamble" so we all started calling it "bwaaaamble" and it just stuck with everyone who got taught by that guy

I've never heard of it, until yesterday of course ;). Heh I feel more educated now. You know, this makes me realize I've never tried blackberries before...

A little update. Fudge (the one on the left) is now being renamed as "Kiss" as we like the fact her face is all stripey like a member of "KISS" ... Gene Simmons and all that ... hehe. :D

Final name changes have been decided. We are going back to Bramble and Fudge! Bramble is the stripey one, Fudge is the patchy one.

Like so:

Fudge:


Bramble:


Bramble has some beautiful markings, almost like Bengal spots on her belly. On her back she has what looks like a crucifix - stripes along her spine, then cross-stripes that go over her shoulders and down the sides. Freaky! On this pic however it looks like a St George's cross of England :D Sorry its a bit blurred. They move quick!



PS sorry for the state of the kitchen, its the only part of the house we haven't re-decorated yet ....

Awwwww, they're so cute! :D And they got so big! Deadlock, you need to learn how to take pictures lol

Btw, were you trying to let us figure out what gender Fudge was?

I got into a cat fight with a kitten from work the other week, my hand has a semicircle of scratches on it lol. To be fair, the kittens were very scared and defensive because one by one their siblings were being taken away, so I guess they were scared they were going to be taken away too.

Keep updating us on the cats, I love seeing kitties grow up ^_^

Ps aww, Deadlock's wearing his wedding ring now!

Sorry - they're both girls, and a bit hissy at strange things, sort of hilarious when you see the size of the things they're spitting at: large screen TVs, 13 stone blokes ... they get all big and defensive. Fudge likes to get on her back legs and box until she falls over. Then forgets what she was doing.

Sorry also for the pics, I went back to using my old phone and forgot you have to hold it in a certain way as it stores them in a certain orientation, so unless I photoshop them I can't change them (not on this PC anyway, its outdated). I have a few more pics but am only allowed 4 per post, so in a little while I will put the others on, at risk of causing mass "ahhhhhhhhh" syndrome.

Like the ring? Two colour gold sort of inter-twined rope design. Still feels weird after 3 months :P

awwww they are so adorable!!! We have an 8? month old kitten that is just a mess. He thinks he can attack our beagle just like he was a dog. lol!

Deadlock, those kittens are beyond adorable!! I'm coming over there to hug them =P

My cat is so old, I remember when he was that little and energetic. Now he sleeps at my feet 24 hours a day, and only gets up to eat, haha.

Tip for the day. If you run out of kitten food or your new kittens are just not interested, use ASDA corned beef. They love the stuff! Bramble nearly bit my finger off in her hurry to get it in her mouth ... yay kitties!

lol deady, that's cute :D Bwaaaaaaamble is soo cute too ^_^

Yes, very nice wedding ring mate. You might not be used to it now but when it comes to you having to take it off when cleaning something you'll feel almost naked without it! :p

__________________

We were in ASDA (free plug for my favourite supermarket there) and we went down the kitchen cleaning products aisle. There was this stuff I wanted to get before the kittens arrived, a spray disinfectant, I picked the bottle up and it leaked all over me hands. I pulled the ring off and opened a bag of loo rolls to get the stuff off my hands - I didn't want bleachy fingers and besides it was their faulty bottle that got all over me so :P

Then realised I didn't know where the ring was - I was in a right flap. I'd put it next to the bottle that leaked. Yes it feels weird with it on - but I'd rather have that, than the panic I experienced when I thought I'd lost it :P

Aww... the wife would have beaten you hehe

Nerdy bought me a nice ring a year ago or something, every time I lose that I get upset and once it nearly fell down the bathroom sink! Ok, it's not a sterling silver ring and it was very cheap but it's pretty and I love it. Bet the idiot's head's gonna get bigger as she reads this :p

__________________

Haha, I was "aww"ing until I got to the last sentence.. rofl. Tart :P

And it does feel weird taking your ring off! :|
There have been a few times I've taken it off and can't remember where I've put it. I've got into a right strop over it.. hehe!

We were feeding the ducks the other day, and I was throwing the bread pretty far into the lake and got scared my ring would fly off so I gave it to hubby to keep safe.. and felt naked. Heh. No winning!

Your kitties are adorable, Deady :)
Me waaants!
We wanted kittens of our own, but have decided to get them when we leave the country instead. Hubby did want to surprise me with some (aww!) but the flat we live in (for the next 2 and a half years) makes it pretty difficult to have one :( Plus, if little Nerdies come along.. we need some room XD

omgggg...awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ww, those kittys are soooooo cute <333333333333


i luv themmmmm, <33333
course my mom wouldnt let me have any pets of my own, shes afraid of any animal i believe......*sigh*
