Happy 6 month Birthday to my cubs

Today Leo, Bert and Dicky are 6 months old. It seems not so long ago I held 2 week old kittens in my hands. Sniff. I will post some pics tonight of how they are getting on but one thing for certain, they are HUGE. They are the best thing that ever happened to me and I can see why those who are so inclined to have human children think they are special :LOL:

PS As per my announcement to facebook, as of today I no longer have kittens - they will now be referred to as "cubs" - they are too big for kittens. Visitors express opinions, expletives removed, along the lines of "You said you had kittens?" :rofl:

... except Bertie has discovered, precisely today, how to jump into an (empty) bath. So they can jump. My friends "alpha" MC boy easily leaps to a 5 foot mantlepiece too.

Happy, Happy half year to the Lads. MC's don't jump - tell that to Flo who this morning woke us up at 5 am by leaping up the bedroom curtains and perching on top of the curtain rail, shinned up the bathrobe on the back of the bathroom door and precariously walked along the top of the door which has a sheer drop down to the ground floor and just now leapt from the floor to the top of a 5ft 6 freezer, from there to a bookshelf over a door and from there to the top of a cupboard which is fixed over the top of the freezers at ceiling height. Her brother, Noah isn't quite so adventurous but he is often found on top of the shower curtain rail.

Before MC's my hair was a little grey and now its almost totally white!

How time flies! Happy Birthday to all the little fella's xxx

Happy half birthday to my favourite furry brothers :)

What three very handsome cubs you have there,luv the last picture of them all together.
I know exactly what you mean though about people who come to see the kittens,there they are,no we want to see the babies,that is the babes,can't be they look like adults,well they are not they are babes,then the people become in awe of them don't they,blimey if they are that size now whatever will they be like fully grown,we are lucky because all we used to do was get the adults to come in then to give them an idea....!
We still have people come up past ours just to see if the crew are sitting in the window.

I am very partial to reddish males, as my first cat was a red MC mix male. Your three are very, very cute. I cannot imagine dealing with three young MC males at once, though. Must be exhausting sometimes.

A half yearly birthday to the guys!!!

Happy half birthday boys, it does not seem long since your slave had his purrtinity leave!!!!

Got to say you are growing into three damn fine looking boys.

I know what you mean about size, I just love peoples faces when they are visiting if I go and get one of them to say hello, it's even better when Hector is woken up and yawns and shows off his teeth. Roxy is normally too busy sticking her head into handbags!!!

Lovely pics Peter, no wonder you're such a proud dad! Funny to hear somebody else call them cubs too - our two became known to us as cubs a while ago - I always laugh that if they get peckish in a few years time I can just 'chuck 'em a gazelle'!

I do, however, have a bone to pick with you! When I showed hubby the pics of your lovely boys yesterday, he was like "hey, we could get another? One more's not gonna make that much difference". All this from someone who was loathe to get more than one in the first place! HAHA, the Maine Coon subliminal 'paws under the table' bid to take over the world strikes again! Me? Hmmm, we'll see, as much as the idea is tempting I'm not sure I'm ready for multiple litter trays and triple vets fees just yet!

Still, they are lovely though .... ;-)

Happy 6 month-birthday to them all :) they are awesome but have no idea how you can cope with all 3! Rasputin drives me nuts all on his own :D

Congratulations Peter, lovely photos as always, all 3 lads look superb. I bet they are loads of fun! When Larry and Monty were that age we called them 'The Criminals' because of their antics - our vet still laughs about that now. When I'm at work all day the OH phones me (he works from home) with a Lad Report, otherwise I get separation anxiety!

Here's some more shots for you gingerholics. Chilling, today.

Leo was quite happy for me to clip all his claws while he washed himself. Sweet thing.

Pic no 2 is the best picture ever!!!

:-) Yeah, he was sort of licking his nose clean while asleep, so I got him...

Wonderful pics of very handsome lads!

Now they are teenagers. You have very handsome teens. This is the time to have a discussion with boys about "snip-snip" procedure. :shy:

I was more going to, er, surprise them. I have kept these two nice clean house bricks for when the time comes. Cough.

No, seriously, they are going back to the nice vet in July/August or earlier if any of them start spraying. I can't imaging being able to carry all threee in one carrier - even if the size is enough, the weight.

luv them all,great to see them all together...x

I love these guys! I want you to send them up here on a holiday - Teddy would love them!

Brotherly love brought tears to my eyes. When my girls groom each other it looks less surprising but just as touchy. Your tigers are super!

Me too. Me too. I just watch them and I well up. I really need to find me a rich woman who will marry me and let me retire so I can lavish my time adoring my cats. Oh, and the woman concerned too. Of course. lol.
