Kitten and cat picspam

And here's Jasmin with Claudia and Vic.

Claudia weighs less than 3kg now, and her kidney function is down, though she's still quite active. I'm not sure how much longer we'll have her though, and Jasmin's really attached to her (and vice versa, when Jasmin's not being too annoying). If anything happens, I think we'll have to adopt a cat from the Lonely Miaow charity, which houses abandoned cats and kittens, because she's never cuddled up to Vic. She's a bit wary of him; I don't know why.

Jasmin and friends


"Look, you don't mind if I lie on your tail, do you?"
"Not if you don't bite it. As you usually do."


"I know you're there, Jasmin. And I know what you're looking at. Don't even try it."


Jasmin and Claudia both over Greg's shoulder as he works on his PC.

"See? I'm not always pouncing on Claudia."

You might like to get a playmate around her own age (a little younger or older wouldn't matter, I think) for Jasmin before she grows up- it's a lot easier for them to bond before they're a year old, in my experience (unless the adult cat happens to grow into the nurturing type- which you can't really tell ahead of time). Also, I have a theory (backed by quite a few cats) that female cats are much more likely to accept female kittens as friends.

Even when I've raised female & male kittens together they tend to be standoffish as adults, but whenever female kittens have grown up together they've stayed close and cuddly/grooming friendly.

Thanks. I'm seriously considering a slightly older cat, maybe 8-12 months. Otherwise Jasmin will be bereft when Claudia goes, and it will take the pressure off Claudia.
