Three beautiful 9 week old kittens, all shorthaired boys. Very healthy, happy and playful. We have nicknamed them:

‘Wellington’, who is the most cheeky, he is black with white boots, white tummy, chest and lower part of his face (looks just like the Felix cat),
‘Mole’, who is gentle and friendly and loves having his tummy tickled, is black with a darling face and very gentle blue eyes (he is short haired but with a few longer hairs on his legs, giving the appearance of being fluffy) and
‘Peewee’ who is also black is the littlest of the three, with a cute, inquisitive, slim little face and the loudest purr of them all!

All are perfectly house trained, and are used to other cats, children and traffic noise. They are weaned and on solids, eating both meat and biscuits. Flea treated and wormed and ready to find their ‘forever homes’. Mum can be seen, but as dad was an opportunistic wanderer who hasn’t taken his responsibilities seriously we can’t introduce you to him, sorry
£30 each.



I just love the last part of the ad, about the Tom cat!

Jean, the ad is on Gumtree in Norwich. I will warn you, there are pictures! It's so hard to resist all the kittens advertised for sale and rehoming, I love the ginger and white ones that turn up but can't have cats here so have to stop my fingers responding to the ads

I really miss having pets tho, lost my last cat and my dog in 1998 before I started living here

LOL Liz - we always named the kittens our cat had.
There was a white male with black tail, black spot on is side, and a large wonky black spot on his head - that looked like a beret - we called him Pierre.
There was a large clumsy fluffy ginger kit. He managed to catch is tail alight (not hurt - just rapidly doused in water!), and once he threw himself out of the cat flap (at about 3 weeks old) with so much gusto that he landed in a bucket of water!!
He had a very sensible brother. initially this pair were called Borage and Ambrose, but the big one was just soo funny, we re-named him Boris.
These two had to be homed together, as Ambrose became Boris's 'sensible' half.
Even the cats I have now (born here) had different names when they were small.
They were born in 2006 during the last world cup.
George was Gi-gi, (after a footbaler apparently) Betty was Jelly Bean (because of her tiny bright pink nose)
Mister Miu - who has very almond shaped eyes, is my daughter's cat - though he's never lived with her and is totally unaware that he is hers, has kept his original name, but I tend to just call him Mister - quite often with an addition - like Mr Smelly, Mr Tubby, Mr Pig etc (he's overweight - the other two aren't)
Personally, as he can't retract his claws, I would have called him Claude!
