Introducing Ruby and Lulu

[Killearn Kitties]

I know I have been catastrophically slow in properly introducing Ruby and Lulu. They have not quite been with us a year, but it’s not terribly far off it.

We took my Mum to the open day at a local shelter at the end of August last year because she thought she might like another cat. She didn’t get one, but we ended up with two. Ruby and Lulu are sisters and were together in the cage. At the time we saw them, Lulu was being forcibly washed by Ruby – it drew quite a crowd. They were 10 months old and had come from a house where things had got out of control. The owners quickly found themselves with 13 cats and rising. Ruby and Lulu were six months when the shelter took all the cats and Ruby was found to be already pregnant. She had two little kittens, which had since been adopted, and the shelter was looking to home Ruby and Lulu together because they were so bonded. So instead of getting one little friend for Oscar, we got two.

They were 2.6 and 2.7 kilos when we adopted them and they are now just over 3, so they are not very big cats although Lulu looks a lot bigger with all that fluff.

However, I know you want to see some pictures ...

Wow, not only One Creamsicle Cats , but Two .
You certainly will have a lot of fun with Ruby and Lulu you can just tell that they are so much Fun.:love::love:

[Randi]

Aww, you got some really good pics of them, they're both gorgeous! :love: Such a sweet expression on their faces, and beautiful coats.

"Funny" to see how different length their coat is, since they are sisters. I take it either mom or dad was a longhaired one. Hope to see them here more frequently, and hear what they're up to. ;)

[cassiesmom]

Oh my --- they are beautiful! Welcome, Ruby and Lulu! :love: :love: And hello, Oscar! Sending cyber kisses to all three kitties!

[Karen]

Welcome to Pet Talk, gorgeous girls! No longer the house of grey there, is it? What lovely coloring they both have and that tail IS impressive!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Congrats!!!:D They're both gorgeous.:) I hope that Oscar approves of them by now.

[kaycountrygal]

Hi Ruby and Luly, you sure are pretty girls. I'm so glad they now have a good home and that they were adopted together. Separating them would have been cruel so good for you. Thanks for posting pics and I look forward to more pics of them in the future.

[katladyd]

What, no greys?:eek: Just kidding! They are both absolutely gorgeous and you are to be commended for adopting these precious fursibbies. They would probably have been miserable without each other.:( Orangies are awesome! You are all very lucky.:)

[Grace]

They are gorgeous - love the expressions in their eyes :love:

Any pictures of the three together?

[pomtzu]

Goodness - how could you have kept these gorgeous babies from us for so long??? They are both lovely! Welcome to the PT Family, Ruby and Lulu - finally. :D:love::love:

[Pinot's Mom]

They are gorgeous! Yes, Pinot is a little miffed she hasn't made their acquaintance until now, I don't know if she's speaking to her UK Auntie at the moment.... ;) She'll get over it...

Lovely kitties, so glad they're together and with you! Congratulations!

[Scooter's Mom]

They are both gorgeous kitties! Thank you for taking them in. :)

[Bengalz]

Ruby and Lulu are absolutely gorgeous:love::love:. You must have found the end of a rainbow to land these beautiful young ladies and so rare to have two orange girls - wow!!

Congratulations - Oscar must be smitten:love::love: - lucky, lucky boy:D.

[Barbara]

Hi Ruby and Lulu- so good to see you here in the limelight... and now I am going to get everybody jealous by telling that you had that sisterly cat fight right on my bed;)

[cassiesmom]

Hi Ruby and Lulu- so good to see you here in the limelight... and now I am going to get everybody jealous by telling that you had that sisterly cat fight right on my bed;)

Ruby and Lulu, there's a story behind this ... did you go to visit Barbara? Or, did she visit you? Either way, it sounds like she got to meet you two in person (or purr-son!) and for that I'm jealous! You two are beautiful ginger kitty ladies! I am sending gentle pets and a kiss *kiss* for both of you and for Oscar, too.

[lizbud]

What gorgeous ladies they are.:love: Ruby looks bigger in the later pictures, so they must enjoy their food.:)
I'm so glad they didn't have to be separated. What does Oscar think of them?

[Laura's Babies]

OH MY GOSH!! How beautiful!!! All that orange fur is so pretty..... and maybe there will be more photo shoots of them! Give them kisses from me and my gang!

[kuhio98]

Beautiful ginger girls.

Princess Fluffy Pants (Willow) is quite jealous of Lulu's impressive tail. ;)

[Vermontcat]

Congratulations on the two beautiful new additions to your family!:D
Ruby and Lulu are gorgeous and I love their names.:love:

[Killearn Kitties]

Thank you all for welcoming Ruby & Lulu, and I am terribly sorry that Pinot's nose is out of joint. I hope she forgives me soon. :D

Oscar usually rather likes his little sisters, and they do all mill around together, which is great.

Grace asked if I had a photo of all three cats. Well, this absolutely fascinating box came into the house one day ...

[Catty1]

Of course - a box to unite them all! :D They are so gorgeous!

Funny how your two new kitties are orange and not grey - and KAK's new two are NOT orange at all! :D

[phesina]

What a great picture! Thank you! And so good to see them doing so well together, too.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

What a cute picture of all three of them.:) I've never met a cat that didn't like boxes.;)

[smokey the elder]

What gorgeous girls! I'm glad you quit holding out after all this time...:p:D

[cassiesmom]

What a great picture of the three of them enjoying the box! Oscar seems to be looking up at Ruby and Lulu is peeking out of the box :D *cyber-kisses all around*

[Bengalz]

Gorgeous babies!!! Looks like they have the best cat home too:D boxes, toys and blankies - bliss:love::love:. I'm so happy to see your home so blessed Karen - absolutely joyful:D. Thanks for sharing your lovely family with us.

[katladyd]

Nothing like a box to bring kitties together!:D

[ChrisH]
