    The "basement orangies" have been caught!

    Well I finally got the little buggars! Traps just weren't working so I waited real late to feed the ferals one night. I put out the food, squated beside the food bowls and waited. I have two big bowls that I feed in so I had one bowl on the right side of me and one on the left. The temptation and hunger was more than they could take so finally one of them came up to eat. I sat real still and waited until the other one finally came up too. Now I had one on the right and one on the left. They were testing my coordination! I reached out with both hands and scruffed them up! Now I had both hands full of wiggling ticked off kittens and I couldn't open the door. I rang the doorbell with my elbow over and over until hubby finally came to the door! He thought I was just goofing off. Finally they are both inside and doing well. They both have a little cruddy eye and are on antibiotics but seem overall healthy.

    Let me introduce the two new orangie twins that still need names. They are both boys and I can't tell them apart just yet. I need cute twin name ideas guys!

    Day one




    Day three








    The one in the photo that is belly up has calmed down a lot. You can walk up to him and pet him. He will even purr. The other one is still skittish and you kind of have to sneak up on him but once you do you can pet him and sometimes get a little bit of a purr.
    The skittish one has an umbilical hernia which will be fixed when he is nuetered.

    Ok, start naming and claiming! Hubby is already planning on keeping them and I want to find them a good home. A PT home would be ideal.

    Aww, what cuties! So glad you got them inside, they seem to enjoy it too.

    Can't think of any names right now, but I hope you'll find a good loving home for them.

    AWWWWW!!!! They're adorable and I'm so glad that you finally caught them. I'm sure that with your loving care they'll be socialized in no time. I can't think of any good names for them right now but I'm sure that you'll pick just the right ones.

    They are gorgeous!!!! I want one - well, I wish I could have one should I say.

    They look like little Cheddar and Cheeto to me but that may not be fancy enough names for such fluffy gorgeous kitties.

    Kim I know it seems like a lot of long hairs but these are the first ones in a long time. All of my originals came from one long haired mom but she has since vanished. It seems like a lot because I've been catching a few at a time from this same litter. There were originally five and baby Munchkin died early on. I then caught Noah and Whisper and finally these two.

    I love the names!!! Keep them coming and I'll run them by hubby tonight and see what he likes.

    btw~Little Whisper passed away Thursday night. There was a necropsy done and it wasn't FIP. No cause could be found so the vet felt like it must have been something in the brain. All three orange boys weigh between 2 and 3 pounds but the dark tabby girls never even got to a pound. They both ate continuisly but they never thrived. Poor babies. I thought it was odd that they were both dark in color and the only females. Not sure what went wrong there. RIP little Munchkin and Whisper.

    Aww Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear Whisper didn't make it. Thank goodness it wasn't FIP.

    They are so adorable! I'm thrilled you were able to get them!!!
    They remind me of my two little twin orangies, Rusty and Riley ... but they were short haired! When I got them and took them to my vet, he called them "Pete and Repeat"! LOL!
