9 weeks old and "bye bye" Lightening!!

Little Gabby girl playing with her scratchy post!!

As a goodbye treat, Lightening was allowed onto the counter to eat out of Mummys bowl!

Lightening likes the look of the water jug.

Just can't quite reach the water!

Oh, it's good for teething on though...

How many kittens can you fit on your cushions?

Everyone gives Lightening lots of loves before his new family come to collect him.

"I'm going to my new home to be a spoiled cat!! Ha ha ha!!"

No smoke without fire.. or in this case, no smoke, or fire!

On Sunday, shortly before coming down with a throat infection and the cold from hell I took the younger kids to the local Fire Station open day. I forgot the camera and the cellphone which I took these on was dying by the second so I only managed these few shots.
But here's Ed and Bean being fire fighters.

First, the giant inflatable slide!

Ed got the cuter fireman........well done that girl!!

We are 7 weeks old already!

All action shots again! The kittens are now just tiny cats and the house is over-run with them,everywhere you walk beware you don't tread on a tail or have someone launch a ful clawed attack on your ankles!! Today the kitchen was the 'in' place to play.....

Gotcha! One pounce and you're history!

Will I come out all clean and fluffy at 30 degrees?



They'll never find me under here!

Oh look, King is on the prowl! Now there's a surprise!

Pretty Gabby...:)

HIIIIIYA!!!! I am Ninjja Kitten extraordinaire!!!!!!!!!!

It's tiring work being this handsome. I shall lie here and sun my spotted belly.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! I'm sitting on my brother! He'll never get up now, never I say!

Dreaming of Whiskas and mices.

Ha ha!! You really think the rest of this litter is as stunning as me? You're having a laugh!

I am cute and silver and lovely and butter wouldn't melt in my pretty little mouth.

6 weeks!!!!

No individual shots this week as a) the Quads are getting too fiesty to sit still and pose for me and b) they are a bit boring!
Six weeks old!!! I can't believe they are so big already, but nor can I believe that some breeders let their kittens go this early!! The Quads are still babies, still having at least 6 feeds from their Mum a day and have just moved on to 3 pouches of food between the four of them. They need to be eating alot more and feeding from Pixie alot less before I'm ready to let them go! They've also not yet started playing with toys, climbing stairs, learnt their names and all the other things I think kittens should do before they're homed. I think we've proved that KippersKittens philosophy works as we've had many compliements on what wonderful cats last years litter were.

Here is Pilchard working on her slinky prowl...


The twins sleeping like a pair of bookends! They often do this and it's sooooo cute! If only I could keep them as a couple of homeware accessories!


King taking a quick drink when no one else is in the way!

Some individual ones of little Lightening, firstly because I know his humans read the blog regularly and will want to see him, and secondly, because I adore the little chap!! This cat ROCKS!!! This week Lightening has learnt his name and if he's in the mood, comes when he's called!! Very clever and very, very young for a kitten! He's clearly a genius!


And as she was posing so well, here's Pixie!!!

A tabby cat-nap!! Pilchard is sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy!!!

Ok, I'm awake now...

I LOVE this photo and I think Kings Mum will too!! I love the way he's got his arm around his sister!

Belatedly....5 Week pics!

This little girl has stolen her Grandad's heart!! Gabby is a Grandaddys girl! She loves to lick him to make sure he's a clean, well groomed human, and then she settles on his chest for a cuddle. We'll be sad to see this baby girl go in 4 and a half weeks!

King is still the leader of the pack, ever watchful for an opportuinty to practice his pouncing and stalking skills but he also loves a cuddle!

Lightening is just such a cutie! His humans came to visit him this week and he loved it. He still loves having his tummy tickled and loves to be stroked. He thought his new children were great, he's always wanted a pet human!

Pilchard found her appetite this week! YAY!! We were worried about her refusing food, but a little more confidence around the bowl found her digging in with the others.



What are we watching? It's too early for Wimbledon isnt' it?


Dog basket??? What dog!! This is our comfy spot for snoozing!
