Tiggie & Turnip

Kittens have been outside pretty much all day today. All the fresh air has done for Turnip pic.twitter.com/xd9UV2s3Mp

Outside without leads for the first time 😬

Lots of things have been sniffed, investigated, chased and run away from pic.twitter.com/oq5As0XCT5

The patients returned yesterday. Tiggie has a sporty jacket to stop her & Turnip licking the op. I bear scars from trying to get him to wear the cone of shame. Instead, he now sports the avocado of amusement pic.twitter.com/d5ETzvSMWS

The day has come. Off to the vets for ✂️tomorrow. Lamb bone treats from yesterday’s roast, because they can’t eat until after the op tomorrow https://t.co/Re5tEcCMr3 pic.twitter.com/6BxQrdRCZc

One of these two entirety innocent creatures decided that finding, destroying and spreading a packet of fish food around the house, sometime after midnight, was an entirely reasonable thing to do… pic.twitter.com/lW2yNRfXQx

First trips outside! On a lead, because they haven't been spayed and neutered yet.

Second harness ordered, now we know they're happy to wear it - combined trips outside this weekend! pic.twitter.com/MuA8bTbASV

Going to have to get one of those lap tray things, so kittens can sit on my lap whilst I work. Just need to measure up first... pic.twitter.com/uYXQnKLp08

This morning’s doom scrolling slightly offset by these pair of purrers

Massive crash from bathroom, two kittens charge into our bedroom and hide under the bed at about 100mph

Shampoo etc bottles all knocked into the bath

Kittens come slinking out from under the bed. Quick cuddle to check they’re ok. One very soggy belly - guilty party found!

Us: Hey, this puffed grain-based cat litter looks great, nice and eco friendly

Cat: Eating used, clumpy bits of said cat litter… Mmm, delicious!

Us: 🤢

I’m so bad at PUBG that having two cats on my lap “helping”, might actually improve things pic.twitter.com/2LzH8vku5o

Day 6. Came back from the morning school run to this sight! pic.twitter.com/koHCYiId87

Day 2 a lot better. Spent the day working in my son’s room, with door shut and Turnip hanging out next to me, hiding from the tyranny of Tiggie, kitten #1

Some civil and semi-civil interactions between the two of them at lunch and dinner pic.twitter.com/ytwSYMXxTA

First full day of two kittens. I think it’s fair to say that @emm and I have aged about 10 years due to the stress.

Have tried to introduce them slowly, but not so easy with open plan 🤷 pic.twitter.com/dM8ngWFVOC

Tiggy has still yet to venture from her familiar blanket and the cat carrier. Taking it nice and slowly

1 more sleep until @emm & I collect the newest member of the family!

Still on the hunt for a ginger boy too, ideally Siamese cross, so they can miaow at each other! pic.twitter.com/vstEnPnL7s
