Update on the girls

20 weeks old now, both kittens are doing well.
Had a lovely Christmas with them :)
The breeder came round with some presents for them, that was nice.
I also got them some cat nip mice for them to play with.

Over Christmas the OH built a kitten activity megaplex out of some old boxes. See pics

Matt, they are stunning as ever!! Myrtle getting protective and Marmalade boxing are especially superb.

Seeing your pictures makes me realise that I really must try and read my camera's manual and understand the settings other than auto. It's SO long since I used a proper SLR that I've forgotten all that I was taught :roll:

They are gorgeous studies of your fluffy girls, Matt.
Love the hands-up pic, "ohhh, me pick me !"

Hay Yola , thanks glad you like the photos, It helps to have a fairly fast camera and lots of memory sticks, I take loads of photos to only get a few usable, 100 shots is the norm.

I love that box megaplex; cats adore something like that; hours of fun for them! How clever of OH. And as always am so impressed by your photography; and the lovely models. They have indeed grown like weeds.

Yes they love the megaplex, they can go in the bottom box and make there way up to the penthouse suite at the top.
They enjoy sleeping in it and playing around jumping in and out.

They eat loads, 3 to 4 Felix pouches a day plus they graze on dry food during the day and night :roll:

thanks for the lovely comments everyone

Oh they are beautiful!! And I love the megaplex, they looked so pleased in it!

Are they Maine Coon's by any chance? It's just they do look so large and have the longer-hair. Either way, they are stunning!

My OH has always wanted Maine Coon's, and I think after seeing these photos I'm very swayed by them too. Give them some chin tickles for me!
