4 sleeps to go... I want my kitties! :drool1:
Hehe, there's one excited new Dad!
I absolutely love bringing kittens home - so exciting finally getting them all to yourself and getting to know them.
My kittens leave me in about 3 weeks and I know their new owners are pretty much bursting with excitement about having them! Don't think they know what they're letting themselves in for though,...they are the naughtiest litter I've ever had!
Aww! The time will sail by and then a couple of weeks after they arrive you probably won't remember life without them. :LOL:
I am excited. Never really had "kittens" - my last two were rescue moggies and they were 4 and 2 when they arrived. But 3 MCs, all boys. I am aprhensive, in that butterflies in tummy, type way :)
Awwww, not long now - so exciting!!! :smile:
Reading that brought a big smile to my face. I hope those 4 sleeps pass quickly! It is great those lads are going to such a wonderful home.Quote:

Lucky you, enjoy your new boys.
I have to say after just over two weeks its been great, Noah and Flo have settled in and really have been a joy! No real problems - "looks over shoulder - hmmn better not tempt fate and just say - not so far anyway! These two are our first kittens and indeed cats after 15 years of owning Afghan Hounds!
Things I have learnt!
1.Maine Coon kittens are very vocal and shout loudly when their bowls are empty
2.Raptors have nothing on a pair of mcs intent on getting to your dinner plate
3. They are extremely intelligent and work out very quickly where that little red chasing dot is coming from and who is likely to make it move for them. They can wake up from a deep sleep in a second and shout at that person when he arrives until he gives in and makes the little red dot race around.
4. Plug chains make a nice noise
5 Rugs are good for sliding across floors on
6. A good hard nip on a big toe works better than an alarm clock for getting my husband up in the morning!
I'm sure there will be lots more to learn. Have fun learning about your three Peter!

..... excitement. Soon! Soon! :)
Have a very good nights sleep because it could be a long while before you get another....
Can imagine it already,three charging around getting into mischief,one by one they go to sleep but by the time the third one gets settled the first will be awake again,ready for playtime,shall we have bets on how long it will be before one of them finds that hiding place that you don't know about & then panic sets in,I have spent hours in my cats lifetime looking,fine if you have an obliging one that will prrurp so you can home in on it but a pain when they don't,hope you have sorted out their feeding stations so they will get to know which corner is theirs.I am so looking forward to posts & pictures,have a great time new "furries"dad,you are sooooo going to have a fun time together........

Congratulations, this is the most exciting time when they explore every corner of you house. They are absolutely adorable!
I am curious, will you allow them to sleep with you or lock them out of bedroom?
Once they get used to certain place for sleep it will be almost impossible to break the habit.
I decided to let them sleep with us (fortunately for them, unfortunately for us)
I admit that I often do not have a good quality sleep. If I did it over again, I would place them in their beds in the bedroom but not in our bed.
Back then I could not resist the temptation to have their furry butts next to me. Plus, I work long hours, so cuddling with them at night compensates the lack of communication at daytime.
They are allowed in almost every room (not the TV room unsupervised, too many electronics and stuff until they are more mature) and they will be allowed on my bed. They haven't made it there yet. My two previous moggies used to pin me down, on on each side, and they were quite big for moggies.
I am single, probably going to stay that way, and have a super king sized bed... :-)
Cats on the bed eh? Got to be done, especially when you've got all that space. You might not get the best night's sleep for a few months, but they'll get used to your hours and when they're older they'll know when it's wakey-up time. Mine are OK overnight now and don't disturb us (except for lie-ins).
It's remarkable the level of communication you can achieve with the MC. I wanted a lie-in on Sunday but Larry was larking about at 7am, trying to 'dig' under the duvet and 'get' my legs. I thought, I'm going to have to get up and take him downstairs, then come back to bed. But instead, I gave him the lightest pat on his back, and said 'pack it in!' and he went 'cripes! best behave then' and he settled down to sleep for a couple more hours. He totally picked up on my tone, I was so impressed that he really seemed to understand - and complied. I'm putting it down to the MC intelligence.
Wonderful! And when you get tired of playing with them ... they have each other!:rofl:Quote:
