Our new kitties!

Almost no AS content here at all! Except that I might try taking the little monsters with us on a trip while they are little, get them used to it. They are only 9 weeks old now, so we have lots of time to get them used to doing weird things.

So you can put the cats in the same room as the Betas, and have Cat TV...

ROFLAO...my cat, Ginger loves to watch the screen saver on the laptop...might have to put a fishy one on there just for her. I also like to warp her mind by putting on the surround sound stereo when there is a jungle/nature type show one. She can never quite figure out where the small animal noises are coming from

Stephanie, I enjoyed every shot. Thanks for sharing. Our last-summer's brother and sis kitties are "oldtimers" now in comparison. I miss their rollicking fun and chases while we were remodeling. They were into and on, swinging from, and over everything in every stage of construction. When they weren't interrupting the carpenters, they were harrassing the dogs. Now, they just sleep and eat. Enjoy while kittenhood lasts ~G

Cuties! Start 'em early ~ We had Lily wearing her "bra" (harness) and walking on a leash as soon as she was big enough that she didn't walk out of it. The small puppy (Chihuahua) version works great. She's been used to it, walking on a leash and driving in a our car/truck ever since. We don't typically put her in the pet carrier unless she is going to the vet where doggies and other kitties are bound to be present and everybody is uncomfortable. That way, going in the car/truck doesn't have bad vibes...just the carrier does.

Have fun with them...they grow up so quickly!

Boy, do those two look like trouble just waiting to happen. You are going to have a lot of fun with them. We had one guy looked like Mighty, who the vet pawned off on us when one of our kitties passed away. They had named him Clyde and he was with us for 17 great years. We still have Cricket who is now 20 and Smokey Bear who is 11 and they are tremendous companions for us. We have always had two so they can entertain each other. It's amazing how quickly they grow up yet how long they play like kittens. Enjoy them.

Hey if Campcollector can travel with 2 cats, so can you. I think Bev Beach will be just the place to try them out. I know Gigi will love them.

Kittenwar is tough! I had to give everyone "draws" . There's no such thing as a un-cute kitten..

Congrats, on your two babies, Steph, and sorry to hear about Lucy. We once had a kitty that we picked up as a 6 month old along the highway in AK who like Lucy needed to go outside (and we'd pay dearly if she didn't). We reluctantly allowed her out and then one day she didn't come back. Now we have another wonderful shelter cat, Calvin, who is very content to stay inside. Can't imagine what a fun kitten he must have been...

Sooooooooooooooo cute!

Steph,

They are absolutely wonderful! Travel with them lots and they will keep your Caravel mouse free! We used to have a cat we traveled with, and he was great... our current cat is NOT a good traveler, he stays home with Grandma.

I loved the pictures. But then, kitties are even cuter than Airstreams. (I know, heretic....burn her at the stake!)

Hope to see them at Beverly Beach!

That kittenwars is adorable! Of course, all kittens are adorable, as we like to say 'that's what keeps you from killing them!'

They're great right now, and they aren't to that age yet where they can get up on things, and you spend all your time trying to keep them off the kitchen counters and away from the hot stove, and worry about them getting shut up in strange places. This 'toddler' stage is the best! Of course, our Lucy was 3 years old and she was still entertaining, so we're enjoying the kitten phase, but I'm sure the cat phase will be good too.

We're handling them a lot, rolling them over, carting them around, getting them used to lots of handling. Tonight I picked up Mighty because she was bugging Chester and set her on my lap, and she went right to sleep, stayed there through two episodes of Good Eats It would be great to have a lap cat, none of our previous cats have been. I hope these two grow up to like lots of attention.

Be sure to bring them to Beverly Beach!

Our two cats were there last year, and they'll be joining us again this year.

I like Shari's advice; both of our 'boys' wear their harnesses any time while they're traveling or outside the trailer at a campground.

We look forward to seeing you...now less than two months away!

Am currently raising 2 Siamese kittens of my own. They were rescued from one of my clients at 3 weeks due to the danger of them being killed by overhandling by lots of small children. They are now 7 weeks and typically Siamese. For those of you who have never raised a Siamese, this is a difficult breed of cat to live with for about the first year. Good luck with your babies. I will be finding homes for mine since they would give me 6 cats. No one needs 6 cats. I love them, but see headlines about the old lady and her cats in my future.
