Thanks everyone. Actually if I couldn't or didn't want both of them, then they wouldn't have been adopted out to me. They needed to stay together which is just fine with me.

Cindy in their records Blaze was: on 5/28 he was 1lb 1oz , on 6/2 he was 1lb 3oz, and on 6/29 on the day of his neuter he was 2lb 4oz so he must be more than that now. Alani wasn 5/28 1lb 7oz , on 6/2 he was 1lb 8oz, and on 6/29 on the day of his neuter he was 2lb 4oz and he' since grown a bit larger than Blaze. When I pick them up they're very light and they both have bony hips so they actually look larger than they are because of all of the fluff. Their birthdays are 4/30/10 and they were found in Pacifica near the Half Moon bay area. I had to drive to Redwood City to get them but it only took me about 30 minutes or so.

Now I'm learning to really tell them apart. Alani has more white above his nose and Blaze has orange there. Also Alani is a little love bug and wants me to hold him a lot. He also does the silent meow. It's so cute. I trimmed both of their nails without any problems. They were purring the whole time. The lady gave me this plastic clip which you put on the scruff of their neck and it makes them stay still. I even tried this on Ziggy and Sky and it really works.

Congrats on bringing these two beauties home!

So they are about the same size as Jax. They look so much bigger in the picture with you holding them. Must be the fluff.

Hey, where could I get a plastic clip like that? I could really use that for Paizly and Jax. Now I have to have Bruce help me all the time when I need to trim their nails.

I cannot wait to see more pictures of the orange twins.

[shais_mom]

yes I'm interested in the plastic clip too and would it work on a 6 year old mountain lion sized kitten? ((kloe ))
for the record - I've no idea who would poo poo for getting these two - guess that is b/c I don't post here as much anymore - out of the loop. But They are GOREGOUS and I'm thrilled for you - sometimes when you are sad - the joy of a baby will make you smile again.
I hope that made sense!
((hugs))

I know that the lady said that they're very hard to find and she couldn't even remember the name of where she got it. She said that a lot rescue groups get them. It looks like a plastic pair of scissors except that it has flat prongs on the end. You have to pull up their scruff and then you press down and clip the skin. It doesn't hurt the cat but it makes them not move and relax. It doesn't work forever so you still have to be quick about trimming their nails. I just couldn't believe that it also worked on Sky. I've had to muzzle him because he gets so crazy and he'll try to bite me and growl and hiss.

I guess they're called binder clips but I can't find a place online that sells them. Here's a link that says you can buy them from an office supply store. This isn't the kind that I have though. Here's the link:http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/510696. Here's an article talking about scruffing a cats neck and the calming effects of it: http://veterinarymedicine.dvm360.com.../detail/650761. Good luck.

I can pm you about it if you'd like. I also kept telling everyone that I didn't want to adopt any more cats and I wanted to get down to only two and that the time just wasn't right for me. Well as you know women can change their minds and I just got an over whelming urge to adopt a fluffy orange male kitten which turned into two because they needed to be adopted together.

I've always wanted a med/long haired orange male kitten but I was never able to find one before. I really do think that my RB Sunny had something to do with this because he saw how much I missed having a male orangie around.

Aaawwwww! What a wonderful surprise. I agree- they have Somali faces so I am sure Sunny sent them.
Oh- that will be so much fun over the next months
Orion waves hi and says he wants to come and play.

Tracey,

In your story?

You went from 'filling out the paperwork' to "they are living in my bathroom".


That was very fast.....
