Introducing Bramble……

[PayItForward]

We took our visitor to the vets where she passed all her blood tests and is a medium or longhaired little girl. (Well the vet is pretty sure, she is a girl)

MOST IMPORTANTLY…..WE ARE KEEPING HER

So I would like to introduce our Fifth furkid…Bramble. (So named after the bushes, we fought though to reach her.)

She is a beauty! I'm SO glad to hear you're keeping her. I like the name Bramble...very appropriate!:D

[Uabassoon]

What a little cutie! Congrats on keeping Bramble!

[Cataholic]

WHAT??? What happened to Houdini? LOL....I don't care what you name her, just as long as you keep her.

BUT, I do need to speak to you about your 'mini-herd' description. You are only one behind me (and sheesh, how long will it take you to catch up, two weeks?) and I now declare you a .....




HERD!!!!!

[jenluckenbach]

Snicker, snicker.......5 cats in a one cat household. WE are contagious, aren't we??

A few excerpts about how 1 cat is enough, no 2 cats is better, well 3 cats should be perfect...................................

QUOTE :

3-10-03 I still think George needs a furry friend to keep him company ........But my other half thinks that George will sulk and that we wouldn't love another cat the same.

3-22-03 We are officially a two-cat household. We blame Pet Talk….

4-4-03 we are 1/2 thinking of adopting a third cat which is older than her (Milly) and will still play with her but younger than George. But I think we'll end up with two cats bothering George !!!

4-17-03 (Milly & Milo ).............
I am pleased we took your advice and got her a playmate, so far it seems to be working.
Do you realize we now have 4 littertrays one per cat & one spare

4-20-03 I know I said that three cats was our limit. But I can't stop thinking about this cat we saw at the shelter last week, when we adopted Milo.

5-23-03 (Caramel...RIP)Well he (PaysForIt) has agreed that we can take him to the vets to have him looked over but not to get too attached in the mean time. (As if)

5-24-03 (introducing)Treacle, nee Sooty, called so in remembrance of Caramel PayItForward having pestered me ever since we got Milo

6-9-03 We are keeping her!!!!!!!!!!!!
this makes number 5 :D

[PayItForward]

Thanks everyone for a positive reaction. I was a bit concerned that people would think us mean, for keeping Bramble from her mum. The vet said she is a suitable weaning age :)

Cataholic...
He He. I have altered my description. Hurrah I have a real live 'grown up' cat herd. :D


Jen....
OMG.. So we have adopted a cat a month for the last 4 months. Now when you put it that way...It is a bit scary. Makes us look like mad cat people. :D
{The quotes you found made me laugh, must of took you ages to find them}

[Edwina's Secretary]

What a DARLING name....Bramble. You are so creative with the names! Darling cat...darling name. Are her eyes really blue?

[The Cat Factory]

Awww! What a pretty girl!

[ramanth]

Congrats on #5!

I love the name Bramble. :D

[Prairie Purrs]

Welcome to the herd, sweet little Bramble! :D I kinda figured that after enjoying a weekend of kitten antics, you wouldn't be able to let her go. ;)

[kimlovescats]

Ah cute name, adorable baby kitty!!! Love that attempted escape from the sink picture!!!! :D

[PayItForward]

Are her eyes really blue?

Yes, they are at the moment but I have no idea if they'll stay that way, as I thought all kittens have blue eyes to start with.

Question for the floor
When will Bramble have her adult eye colour ?

PIF- I have read various studies, treatises, reports, etc., that hold the ONLY way to determine the nature of the kitty's adult eyes is by taking in another kitty a little younger, and have them stand side by side (or at least in the same house) for a minimum of one month's time. After that time, Bramble's true eye colour will develop. But, only if you ADOPT the other kitty, too.

[PayItForward]

LOL. Is it July yet ??

Mmmm No, I think we'll just wait & see.

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

Welcome, Bramble! (What a cute name!)

[Steffi N]

What a cute name for such a cute kitten. Welcome Bramble to your new home and family.

[Vio&Juni]

So glad for Bramble that she found her furrrever home :D

[HayleyRosie]

Congratulations on #5! Bramble is soooo cute. I can't wait to see more pictures.

[mesiecat]

I love the pictures of Bramble during and after her bath. When mine were that age, they actually liked baths. We haven't needed a bath since then, thankfully...

[NoahsMommy]

I think its all PET TALK'S fault!!!! ;) We have six now....I rememeber saying three was my limit too...oh well!! :D

Bramble is a total doll....Hermoine can't wait to come to England to play with her new buddy!!

[PayItForward]

I think its all PET TALK'S fault!!!!

LOL :D Too Right

[mruffruff]

Must be PT's fault:D

I now have 8, but one is just visiting while Daddy is in the Air National Guard.

[jenluckenbach]

DRAT ! I can't blame pet talk as I only adopted 2 of the 13 after I came here. (but I can blame the fosters on PT) ;)

[PayItForward]

But Jen, you are directly responsible for a LOT of the new PT kitties ;) LOL

[jenluckenbach]

And DANG proud of it !:D :D :D

[PayItForward]

ROTFLMAO :D

Thought you would be proud. So does that make you the Offical PT Godmother ?

That would make Charlie the GODFATHER?? I am sooo scared...

[jenluckenbach]

HEE HEE

[krazyaboutkatz]

Yes, I also agree that Pet Talk and Jen are partly responsible for my kitty #4. :) I also said that 3 was my limit but then I figured if Jen can handle her gang then why can't I handle just one more. :D

[jenluckenbach]

just one more
my personal motto :D

[Uniqueviking]

Kirsten brought baby Bramble to my attention and I have to say
she is absolutely adorable, and she looks SO much like my lil Boomer.

(a boy, 13 weeks old now. He is my 4th furbaby. I got him when he was only 4 weeks old, because his mommy didn' t produce enough milk for him and his siblings)

Boomer:

[PayItForward]

Gosh, they do look similar. He's one beautiful kitten.

He could be Bramble's beau ;) They would make a nice couple. LOL

Must have been difficult looking after a 4 week old kitten ?

What happened to his littermates ?

I would love to see more photos ?

[Uniqueviking]

First: Here's more Boomer pics (and they are all web cam pics, so the quality is not perfect) :D

Yes, it was a lot of work caring for a kitten that young (but it was worth it).

I fed him every 3-4 hours, 24/7, with milk replacer I got from the vet and had to wash his lil butt to get him to do "his business".

And he slept on a corner of my pillow or by my neck!

Litterbox training was no problem at all...not once has he done anything outside the box. He just mirrored my 3 other cats and learned from them. The same with socialisation...even though he is VERY spoiled and cries for his meowmie as soon as he doesn't get his little way.

He also wants what I'm eating, and if he doesn't get some he literally tries climbing onto the plate, lol!

His 4 siblings are doing fine as well. Mommy cat and the first born kitten is with a friend of mine and the other 3 also found really good homes where the owners love them dearly. They all came to households that has at least one cat already. :)

Haha, when Kirsten showed me Bramble this morning, I said to her Bramble ought to be Boomer's gf :D
