Lucy and her babies fan club - shiney new thread

cjmumto2

Good on your daughter, I would do the same. They are all just too cute and Lucy has such a nice nature

spookylukey

I've been lurking on this thread (and your others!) since Lucy was first found

Just wanted to say that you and your daughter should be incredibly proud of yourselves. It's clear it wasn't practical, financially or otherwise, for either of you to take her in but it was obvious from reading your other posts that you wouldn't let her down like her so called owners had.

So pleased for Lucy that she has landed on her feet and really hope both she and her kittens can find fab homes when the time comes

MY daughter has decided she does not want to let Lucy and babies go rescue at 4 weeks, she wants to keep them all to 8 weeks and get them rehomed to permanenet homes directly from her flat - with a rescue back up.

She does not want to think of Lucy or the babies being moved again and again and possibly spending any time in a cage/cattery.

That sounds perfect..... I must admit I hated the thought of them being in a run waiting to be picked.

I also know if it was me, I would want to know where they were going:o

Definite offer of home for 1 kitten (male)

DD has been made well aware that this represents a lot of responsibility, as it is a commitment for the next 12 - 22 years.

And represents a heck of a lot of room cleaning and other chores.


She is reading this now. And going 'yessssss, Mum' in that sad voice only 12 - 14 year olds can do.


The only problem would be convincing myself not to say 'just one more'

Wowwwwwwwwww - Jojo... fantastic

When do you want to pop over to pick YOURS then?

I have no idea which are boys and which are girls though... you any good at that? LOL

It's quite hard to sex them, and sometimes their colouring makes it even harder (try sexing a litter of all black kitties!) ...... although if you're able to put them together it's sometimes easier to see the differences

I know 2 people who got "females" which have turned out to be boys (not discovered until they're a few months old and "bits" appear:D)


Couple of links below where they've got quite good pics .... warning close up pics of kittens bottoms so don't look unless you really want to see ..........

That is all good when they are older - at this age I really do not believe one can tell......

Jojo will be playing a lottery with her new kitten LOL

Make that 3 people...I put Orbit into get spayed then went to pick 'her' op when I finished work.

Vet said,"I've got some good & bad news...Good news is the op went OK,bad news is she's a he!"....:eek:

So when I got him home,he sat on the arm of the sofa looking at me as if to say "You utter !!!!!!! What the hell did you do to ME!"...

Gettingready,that's fab news!,hope Jojo realizes that part of the deal is to provide regular updates & photo's on the kittens progress....:p

Slight OT'ness, but my friend has a female husky, he rehomed it from people who just left her tied up in garden for the first year of her life, apparently she wasn't neutered (and tbh, if they couldnt even be bothered to walk her, I doubt they paid to get her done) but he's had her almost a year now and she's never ever had a "bleed" I keep thinking its a male dog :rotfl: as from behind it looks kinda like deflated balls, but that could just be husky fluff!

How on earth do you tell? :rotfl:
