Bender and Fry are their names, and mischief is the game!

We got 2 kittens last year, wonderful little things, apart from when the stop their mummy from sleeping at night!! .. we're working on this ;)

Anyway, I thought i'd share my collection of vids for any cat lovers out there.

Bender (Ginger) - Likes to play fetch since an early age.
Fry (Black/White) - Makes any noise but a meow!

Enjoy :)

    Thank you for posting the link to the videos, Carly. I love cats and kittens, so I really enjoyed watching them. Bender and Fry are absolutely lovely. My cat, Tommy Tucker, is getting on a bit now, but he is a real character and I wouldn't be without him.

    Joan :grin:

    Yes we are futurama fans! However if we'd have known we'd end up with 2 kittens, we should probably have named the Ginger one Fry and the other Bender!

    However, Fry's 'formal' name is Fry Zoidburg Nibbler...... He can seriosly sound like Zoidburg with his crazy sounding mumbles and he eats like Nibbler.. wooof its gone!

    We rescued Bender, he was a late Kitten (October we found him) and only in the cat shelter for 1 day when we picked him up, the poor thing was so small and we picked 100+ fleas from him..he just slept all the time, and had a little squirt of energy and then slept more after eating. We got him on some good food and he got lots of meals all day and now he's huge and full of energy.. jumping on top of my doors and alsorts now grrr!

    Fry, total oposite! We picked him up from someones home, he was well looked after and OMG we couldn't keep him still for 2 seconds, running around like crazy going for all the toys... jumping everywhere... its why we don't have many pics of him as a cute little kitten, he just wouldn't sit still!

    They complete us, i don't know now how we'd have a home without our cats :)

    Hi Carly

    I've always lived with a cat in the house, and it wouldn't seem like home without at least one in it. The most I've ever had at once is 6. We had three of our own and then my son rescued three tiny kittens. Their mother had been run over and killed in a pub carpark, so my son brought them home. They had to be fed every 2 hours, so I was up in the night with them for ages. It was worse than having a baby to look after :shock: But they all thrived, and eventually I found good homes for them, but I was sad to say goodbye to them.

    Joan :grin:

    Hi Carly

    thank you so much

    I have a cat called Daisy ( Daisy Dewsbury to be precise) she is over a year now, but still thinks she is a kitten!

    Before her l had Eric, (Eric catona) and before him Arthur fat-cat and Benjamin Blackthorne Browne(with an 'e') then there was Tilly Foxtrotter and Mortimer too.

    Love cats :grin:

    Love

    Toni xx

    We still have our Tillie cat, she's pushing 17 now and still plays like a kitten (for about 5 minutes, then it's time for another nap).

    When we moved house last year, we found that the garden was home to a number of frogs and she took up frog-bouncing as a hobby. They all disappeared when the cold weather hit, but to her delight she found one last night (she pats, they hop) until we put a stop to it (we are spoilsports).

    She's a tortie, is a little sweetie and we love her to bits.

    Annie, one of our cats used to bring frogs into the house to play with :grin: We have a cat flap, so she could bring them in when we weren't around. We often used to find a couple of frogs hopping round the kitchen when we came home :grin::grin: Have you heard a frog scream when it is in danger :?: It's a weird sound :shock:
