    I'm so pleased you've found the owner and it's nice of you to look after them. Can't wait to see the pics when someone comes along to tell you how to post them.

    lol... I have 6 cats, 2 rabbits and 8 children living at home... and the baby due October.. Can I have the grey kitten? I adore my catties.. crazy beasts.. Though one of mine is sulking.. She is the only one with a collar as she keeps having her greedy self adopted! and it had worked loose so I fastened it tighter so she sulks!

    In fact they are all in bit of a sulk today because some evil person made it rain :(

    I emailed DP to tell him what has happened he is convinced i am lying and that I have just brought three kittens LOL.:rotfl: until I sent him pictures.

    If you try and move them before mum is ready, she could try and move them again

    One of our Burmese cats had a lovely box made for her with all mod cons for a new mum. However she decided it was not for her and moved them into the bottom of our bed and we had to move into the spare room until they were a bit older.

    Owner found last night. As I suspected it is the ladies across the road, she cried when I told her. Apparently the cat Sapphire she is called escaped as her husband was taking the shopping in. They have been frantically looking for her, they just posted a leaflet through my door. Mummy cat very excited when she saw the owner.

    We decided to keep her there for now, have given the cats owner permission to come in my garden to change litter feed etc. Lucky the hutch is under cover so protected from the elements.
    Can anyone advise me how to upload pictures? Sapphire is grey, apparently the dad is a grey tabby. The kittens from what I can see one is fully grey, two are tabby greys.

    She has offered me one but have 4 children under 4, a 8 month old and 4 your old kitty and a rabbit... temptation is there.

    Brilliant ending!!!

    As to how to upload pictures;

    Upload the photo to a sharing site like Photobucket,copy the URL for the picture & then;....

    Oh so happy you found the owner.....

    (taking the coat off, putting the catnap kit away)

    Can nto wait for a photo :)
  • What a lovely ending to the story!

    I'd take one of the kittens if I were you - but I guess you're not a mad cat lady (yet).

    Mind you, they do get cuter as they get bigger....
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Am I correct in thinking that the owners wanted to breed from her as they know the identity of the male cat?

    Kittens are precious, adorable creatures but there are so very many adorable kittens (even grey ones) waiting in hard pushed cat rescues for permanent loving homes.

    I hope I'm wrong and mother cat is booked in to be spayed as quickly as possible before she becomes pregnant again.
