Can't wait for photos and updates.
This sucking could be a comforting/security thing so I would let it be and see if he outgrows it. Kind of makes me wonder if maybe they were weaned to early too.... :confused:
I CAN'T WAIT FOR PICTURES......... But I will wait.
Congrats on your 2 kittens!!!:D Thanks for the update. I'm so glad that the kittens are now home with you.:) I've never had any of my male or female cats trying to suckle on each other before so I can't help you. He's probably doing it because it makes him feel more secure or like Laura said he may have been weaned too early. Hopefully he'll outgrow it. I wouldn't separate them unless it's hurting his sister.
I'm sure it'll take a while for your other cats to accept the two kittens. Just be sure to give the big cats plenty of attention. At least the kittens have each other to play with so they won't have to be jumping on the big cats. Good luck with everything and I can't wait to see some pictures of your two newest additions.:D
Don't separate them. It is just a comfort reflex. (and girl kitties could do it too).
Can't wait for those photos! :D :D
Glad to hear they are there with you. Your current three sound like my guys. I'm always jealous of those who introduce a new kitty with no issues.
I look forward to seeing pictures.
CAT-CONGRATULATIONS!!
I missed this at whole first time - glad it was bumped up.
I know how hard they can be on you, especially at beginning where they give some daredevils. ;) always remember it'll take time and double-attention for the older cats - those little kittens will be too busy having fun!
hope things would settle down very soon, again - congrats! they're so beautiful, lisa!
Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure when they ended up at the rescue, (I'll ask Michelle) but it wouldn't surprise me if they were taken from their mom much too soon. The kitties made it through the night. We put them in the bathroom with their bed, food and litterbox. They did very well. No crying. Lots of exploring and used the litter box. This morning they are out exploring. Pepper is growing more interested in them. Halo and Cammie are still hissing and spitting.
We've chosen Willow and Willy for their names. Like I said, I haven't had a boy kitty in over 30 years. So, I have to keep reminding myself he is a boy. So, I started calling him Willy-Boy. The name Williwaw was already on our list (a strong mountain wind), but we shortened it to Willow.
Willow is much calmer than Willy and sat for a photo shoot. (Willy freaked out at the flash and ran under the bed. :( So, we'll wait for another day or so before trying that again. Here's Willow...

My Gus suckled on his brother and 2 sisters.It's now getting less and less.
I'm glad that they're doing well and at least Pepper is becoming interested in them.:) I love the names that you've picked out and Willow is gorgeous. Her coloring reminds me of pussywillows so this is a great name for her.:) I know how hard it is to take pictures of kittens and even though Pearl is 1 she still usually won't still long enough to have her's taken. Please continue to update us and pictures are a must too.:)
I hope everyone settles down soon. Willow is a gorgeous girl and it's so great that you got them! :D
Willow is Gorgeous!! I love the Milk Mustache she is sporting!!! Got Milk???(yes I know it is fur, not milk!) he he he he h he he he!!
Kuhio,
What gorgeous kitties!! They sure look like they've settle in. I'm so glad you got them. They are right where they belong.
Oh Lisa - how exciting!!!! How fun for your family!
Those big girls will stop the hissing more than likely - may take days, weeks or more. I have absolutely had the "nursing" kitties and I would not try to separate them - it is just comfort for them. Dennis and I had an adult male that "nursed" a little male kitten and they never did outgrow it. Harvey (adult) would get irritated nipples sometimes but our vet just chuckled.
It will be fun to read your updates and to see pictures once the babies are more used to their new home. I am also VERY curious about names :)
edit: oh my - I did not read all through the thread...missed page 2... and now I see that they have names and there are pictures too!!! YAY!!!
Cangratulations on your new additions to the family. :)
Gosh they are beautiful cats and those pictures of Willow are so lovely.
She is gorgeous.
Just from experience, wasn't it a little too soon to introduce them to your crew though or is this the way you wanted to go? Just wondering.
CONGRATULATIONS, HOW EXCITING!!!! Willow is just beautiful, and looks quite relaxed on her new sofa! :D Can't wait to see Willy boy come out of hiding! ;)
So adorable! Congratulations! :D
Things are progressing well. Willy and Willow are still running around happy and healthy. I've lost count of how many kitten scratches I have. Willy still isn't too interested in a photo session. It's hard to photograph a moving target! Here's the best we've got so far...

We'll keep trying.
Congratulations on the new arrivals to your family. I love the names.
Willow's face looks like she has a milk moustache and Willy is just so very handsome.
Congrats again. :) :) :)
Congratulations!! Willy and Willow are just precious and I'm so glad they are with you, Kuhio!!! :)
They are both GORGEOUS! I am in LOVE! :)
So happy they got to stay together :) Lucky kittys to have someone as nice as you to keep them together.
WOW! :eek: Willow and Willy are so adorable! I have fallen in love with kitties with markings like theirs, and the next kitty I adopt will be a (I think they are) snowshoe siamese! I love the looks on their cute widdle faces! So inquisitive! I am sure that the rest of the furfamily will warm up them soon.
Congratulations!
That first picture looks like he is not at all impressed with PT....
That second one he looks downright annoyed with us... "WHYYOUGOTTAHAVEPICTURESOFME???.... It normally looks like "Why you gotta have pictures of me?" but he is annoyed.. LOL! :rolleyes:
He has those pretty blues!! He is adorable.

So exhausting.
Enjoy your baby monkeys!
I'm glad to hear that things are going well.:) Hopefully Willow isn't coming down with anything. Willy sure is adorable and I love his blue eyes.:) Please continue to keep us updated and please continue to post pictures of them too.:)
Sorry I've been AWOL for a while. We had family visiting from Houston and were super busy. Willow and Willy continue to settle in. Hissing and spitting is down quite a bit. It's only been a little over a week so it will just take more time. Pepper has been sleeping in "their" bed. Whether it's to get used to their scent or cover it up.....
We have a vet appointment tomorrow to transfer the files from the rescue to us and for a checkup. Willow has a very wet, snotty sneeze. She is playing normally, though. I tried to get some more photos of Willy to show off his beauty, but he's either asleep or moving at 100 mph. Here are the best so far.

How did I miss this???? Welcome W's!!!!!!!
Welcome to the Wubble-U's :D Does Willow have green eyes? She's absolutely stunning! I love that pic of her with her little tongue sticking out. She's a beauty! Willy looks like trouble, beautiful trouble! :D
Lisa, I was wondering how they were doing. I'm so glad that they're doing so well and I hope that Willow isn't getting sick. Good luck on their vet appointment tomorrow.:) I'm glad that you were able to take a few more pictures of Willy. He sure is handsome and little Willow is gorgeous. It will be so wonderful to be able to watch them grow up.:)
Oh, I am so glad that I came across this thread. I feel as though I have just finished a wonderful new book about Willy and Willow.
They are both just magnificent and your photos are terrific, even if you do keep apologizing :D
How much fun it is going to be to watch them both grow up!
Congratulations to the new Mom and Dad!!
Lisa, they are both so beautiful already! I can't imagine when they are full grown! :eek: I hope their vet visit goes well!

Yes. A beautiful mossy green. Willy has blue eyes but they turn greenish blue when he's "wilding" through the house.Quote:
Does Willow have green eyes?
Okay, I'll stop apologizing. It's just that the photos don't do them justice. They are both gorgeous kitties.Quote:

So when can we come and see them then, to judge for ourselves? ;)Quote:
