Here are some pics I took with my computer.

My cute little boy Kirby. He is our floppy long haired boy that likes belly rubs.

Sophie. Even though she is Kirby's sister she has short hair. She's done 100% so far with litter training and is also cuddly.

We love them! They were really we socialized at the pet store so they love to be held. We had the neighbors little 5 year old girls come over and play with them today. We want them to be good with little kids and the youngest kid here is 17. The kitties did excellent. They didn't show signs any of aggression or excessive fear and I think they enjoyed it too. Of corse Mom and I supervised. They play all the time, and they are really funny. Shoes are one of their favorite play things. They also like the fake plant that is currently on the floor. Our dog Dexter has been doing pretty good with them. When he was a puppy we had another cat so he is kind of familiar with them. He doesn't love them but he doesn't not like them ether. We introduced them to the main floor and him gradually and I think that helped a lot. they still aren't allowed dow stairs, but they will be eventually.
They may have been taken away from their mommy a bit too soon, but we are willing to deal with that. They are about 8 weeks old. They think that milk will come out of our noses . Every time they try to do something like that we coax them over to their food bowls and they are beginning to understand. Sophie does well with the litter box, but Kirby is still learning. That might be kind of a good thing though because Mom noticed that his stool is watery and a little bloody. We are not too worried because he is acting completely normal other wise. They are going to have a checkup tomorrow so we will ask about it then.

Here's a picture of Dexter so he doesn't get left out :)

Thanks for the nom. Kirby will be very exited.

We took them for their first checkup today and they both are pretty healthy. They got de-wormed again. Kirby has still been having bloody diarrhea, so they told us to bring a sample in a couple of days. They also gave us a med to help him. Sophie is just a little purring machine. The vets couldn't hear her heart beet because she was purring so loud! They had to set her down in front of the sink and turn the faucet on so she would stop purring for a minute.
 
Grrrrrr, Kirby just peed on the bedspread that was left out to dry. I cot him in the act so I picked him up and he just kept peeing! *Giggles* Little pill. I guess we will just have to limit the time he spends out of his room more. Does any one have any litter training tips? I heard that orange peals help deter a cat from going in the same place twice, but I have never tried it.
 
I second the nomination :good:

Cats urinate out of stress and territory marking when they are in a new home, and in particular on their owners beds and bed linen - ensure you wash the cover in biological washing powder otherwise the smell will not come out and he will do it again on the same spot. Don't tell him off or rub his nose in it, which I am sure you wouldn't as this only contributes to more stress for the little man.

Make sure you have at least one litter tray for each cat and one left over, so two cats, three litter trays :good:

Thanks for the tip. What is biological washing powder? He hasn't had any accidents since so hopfully we're out of the woods.

The kitties are just getting cuter, and bigger, by the day. Sophie loves to chace her tail :lol:. I swear they must have some raggdoll cat in them as Kirby loves to be held and is so floppy.

The washing powder box will say if the powder is biological or non biological :good:
