and trouble ahead (catness), no doubt.

May I ask - Is that one of yours in the leftmost .gif? The Holstein? (Cat after my own heart!)

I just thought it was hilarious.

Looks like they have some Siamese in them...so that means trouble! Scat better watch out!

many happy years with your new furbabies

Thanks for sharing!

So happy for them and you!!

Yay!

They are adorable .

????

like kittens or puppies. One kitten is fun to watch, and two are even more fun.

And it's great they weren't separated! Scat will adjust. She's just got to slap them around a bit to let them know who's boss!

and they look right at home already...

They will keep you busy as you all make adjustments. Enjoy - so much fun.

Love their names.... may you, Scat and the girls, bring each other lots of joy!

Glad you opened your heart and home to new fur babies.

new kittehs.

I'm so glad you got some new cuteness in your life. It really helps. They are adorble, and let me warn you that torties are often exceptionally playful. I have an old tortie (she is my oldest cat) and she is still the most playful of all my cats. Enjoy!

How adorable!!!

PEACE!

S/he might still be in mourning and not quite ready for new friends. I know the feeling when I lost Terra.

Hope the new family members fit in soon though. They look lovely.

They'll probably have yellow eyes when they're grown up. They're adorable and it's wonderful you kept them together. My Samantha is a tortie and she's very loving, often sleeps between us on cold nights.

Keep us updated on the progress with Scat. They may give her quite a workout.

And good for them.

They are little cuties. Are they black or torties? Kind of hard to tell. Hopefully, Scat will come around soon. Cats can be funny that way.

Plenty of love to share! I'm sure Mousie approves

but your new darlings will help mend your heart. Good luck and have fun with them. They have a loving owner.

Swashbuckler says that he approves.

They are so so so cute!!!

They're beeeeeyooteeeful! Torties are very active and live long lives, my mom has had two who lived into their late teens and my best friend had one who lived to be 20!

I'm sure they will have the best home ever and Scat will be curling up with them by the end of next month... or sooner.

Lucky you! wish I could have a kittybaby or two.

may you have many happy and healthy years with both of them!

Please, a request of the moderators and owners:

Kittens' and puppeh's in the real discussion forums that are allowed to continue
represent an attack on credibility to DU...

Put these cure but useless posts in the DU lounge where they belong....

Thanks,

TheProgressive

PS: I hate cats and love dogs and all the stories and personally stories about both. But I don't care
to read this fluff in General Discussion....

Go to "My Account" > "Trash Can" > and in the box for "Trash it" type in CAT. Or you can put the person that bothers your little world on ignore. It's easy!

Of course you probably won't.

..General Fluff....

General Discussion is about *real issues* that is *general*....

Get it Mock...?

Skinner and Elad give you the tools to use to make DU what you want but you refuse to use them, I guess. You want the mods (there are no mods) and the Admin to fix it the way you want so that it makes it that way for everyone instead of just fixing it yourself.

Skinner has said that the occasional cat thread in GD was not an issue. If one or two a day is too many for you, well you can alert. How about that! You can do it yourself.

So I get it. DU is never going to be taken seriously on the world stage because someone posted about their pet in GD.

RIP....DU

Back in the olden days.....

First, DU was about real issues and discussion...

Second, Fluff, would be, indeed, be welcome, but it was relegated to the fluff forums.. Not the intellectual, Democratic political real issues forums...

Get it?

I'm sure you've learned that by now.

FFS...

There are plenty of threads you might find more deserving of your time. I suggest you check them out.

You don't get to decide what is General enough for everyone else.

Adults in the discussion forums, and children and fun discussions in DU Lounge...

and I give a damn. I also like cats, and pictures of cats. If you don't, leave this thread, I doubt that you will be missed. Everybody here has a life that consists of more than just politics, and sometimes they like to share. It's called "being a human being". You might not be familiar with the concept.

And immature.

Lighten up- Sometimes we need a little good news. This lady means a lot to most of us and who are you anyway to pitch a fit over a couple of kittens?

Joy is OK in any category. Tis OK to support each other. You do not sound very progressive. I understand your desire for more content -- and I think you are kind of funny in a way.

Smiles.

Congrats AGG! Scat will come round. They'll be havin a rumble in NO time!

=^..^= =^..^= =^..^=

May you all have many years of happiness with these little scoundrels.

Enjoy the kids

what an easy mark!

Congratulations and many, many happy years together

Congratulations, grits.

They are beautiful! Glad you got them!

k&r...

Congratulations to you and your new family. May you all live long and prosper.

kick!

They really are beautiful kittys. And Scat will love them... eventually.

They are super cute.

Have fun with them and Scat will come around...eventually!

They are lucky to have such a loving owner.

Black and orange coats are sex-linked traits in cats, each appears on the X chromosome. Since males are XY, a male can be orange or black (or its variant, gray) but not both. Only females can have both orange and black fur (tortie). A calico is orange and black with white.
White is not sex-linked so a male can be black (or gray) with white, or orange with white, but not all 3.

Are these the kittens you met a few days ago? Nothing is more fun than a kitten except 2 kittens. They will entertain each other while Scat gets used to them. We have added many cats and kittens to our family over the years, and most of the time they have all worked it out - typically becoming buddies, and very occasionally just co-existing at respectable distances.

I eagerly await more pictures.

When we lost our last cat, we were left with just his brother. We started adopting by two's. Every time we visited the shelter, they would have them together in cages of two and couldn't bear to break them up. Our house is so full of love now, 6 rescues later.

Enjoy every minute with them.

Congrats on your new beautiful owners!

Delighted for you. So cute!!!

What a couple of cuties!

My Spookie:

.

Good for you that you made room in your heart and home after the loss of your baby Mousie. Hugs.

I hate shelters because I WANT ALL OF THEM! Seriously, I am glad there are places that help.
They had two brothers who were completely black. I liked the girls though. My vet laughed because he said I always get the more dramatic pair.
I wasn't ready the first time. I was much better and these were the two who chose me. They jumped on my shoulders when the cage was opened.

you all share many years of love and joy and comfort. I am sure mousie approves. you will never stop loving her, she will never leave your heart, but I am so glad you found room for more love.

please do keep us posted on scat's reactions.

Congratulations, grits - they are wonderful little creatures. I'm so happy for all of you and wish you many years of joy and love.

What cute names, too!

I'm sure Scat will come around...eventually...when she's convinced
that Tater and Moonpie have learned their place in the Universe...after Scat!

...message than Tater and Moonpie jumping onto your shoulders.

How did you choose their names?

Our 4th cat (we have 5) had a shelter name that had to be changed immediately. Her shelter name was Penny, which is my husband's ex-wife's name - no way we were keeping that. She is a tuxedo kitty, and I named her Chessie, because of her coloring, and also because I love the logo from the Chesapeake and Ohio rail line.

Little tortie babies! My Ophelia was a tortie!

Scat will warm up to them, lol. I am so happy for you, AGG. There's nothing that lifts your spirits like the pitter patter of little kitten feet (well maybe not at 3:00 in the morfning...)

Congrats!

Do they have "Tortitude" yet?

SO cute! Nothing like a couple of young kittehs to fill the hole in your heart. Scat will probably be royally pissed for a while. But this way, the girls will play with each other, and (hopefully) leave Scat alone. My brother/sister act, Marilyn & Monroe, are 4 years old now, and still chase each other around like kittens.
