Update

 


I’m sending Weaver the very last note of this one of my favourite pieces by the lisping choir
It’s a cracker
She emailed me an update and she’s weak and rather unwell
She sends her love
If I can catch the bugger , I will send a photo of her namesake later
And here she is 
Beans is under the spare bed


Both kittens have been conspicuous by their ability and need to hide
I’ve given them some space until today then I’ve sought them both out and groomed them with my fingers 
Until they both purred.
I then fed them 
I’ve done that three times today 
And for the first time I’ve heard them perform the zoomies from downstairs

    Please send Weaver her love, and let her know we are thinking of her.
    Lovely Kandid Kitten photo. Made me smile, and I'm not even a cat person! (Seriously allergic) You are going to have to be on your toes with those two - and lots of fun!

  30. I too think of Weaver. My fondest hope is that she is comfortably watching life from her window while sipping on a hot cup of something and eating a two fingered kitkat.

  34. Sorry that got sent before finished.
    It took a while for him to get where he is now. If I may make a suggestion, and I don't want to advertise......
    Apart from patience and a soft word, have you tried lick e lix , half a tube each in separate saucers, salmon or chicken should do it. As they get older treat them to a tube each. At first they may not eat it whilst you are there, but they will likely start to venture out on later days and let you sit and watch. Of course I don't know how they are with you already, but this has been a favourite treat with all my previous cats.
    Jean.

  35. It seems you didn't get the first part of my text after all! I've only got a phone to use.
    Part one.... It seems that the kittens haven't befriended you yet if the picture under the bed is anything to go by.😸 Those eyes! Have you sent Weaver the photo of them in the carrier when they arrived , and said which is which?
    My boy kitten was very scared when he arrived , and it took some time before he got to where he is today.
    Now the other text follows on !
    Sorry John ,I'm not very good at this tech yet,🙀

      Yes I left them too long on their own , I thought a few days would be enough before they got their confidence but I was wrong. I needed to handle them , ideally at every mealtime so I was associated with food
      I’ve done that today and it’s worked wonders , after eating they played and that play could be heard from downstairs for the first time

    2. So glad John. I hadn't seen the bit about them purring and being touched when I sent my comment, I only got as far as the photo.
      Clearly they are starting to trust you. Maybe soon you will find time to sit with them and they will venture onto your lap. Contact is so important .
      I couldn't take my eyes off mine when I first had them. Things are looking good for both you and them. I'm so pleased they are settling in.
      Jean.

  37. My thoughts are with the human Weaver today and to another blogger who has just lost her husband. A bit sad in blog world. Good job we have your kittens to cheer us up. I think they are going to lead Roger a merry dance.
