Animal Centres, and filled their spare
rooms. When the kittens arrived one
fosterer said, “Now my partner will be
able to watch whatever he wants on the
television because I’ll be spending so
much time with the kittens.”
Harriet, Hilary, Harold and Hamish, the
kittens just over four weeks old, have now
spent three weeks living with my partner,
our three dogs and me. On arriving at their
temporary home the kittens briefly hid, but
then settled in with their mum. Within two
days the kittens were using a small litter
tray, and five days later Hilary was eating
solid food, followed by Harold and then
Hamish. We soon began to see Hilary as
the adventurer, Hamish as the shy furry
little bear, and Harold as the dreamer.‘Kitty
kitty’ means something nice, and they now
spill over my feet when I call them. Harriet
spends part of each day upstairs with me
and one of our cat-friendly dogs and the
kittens have all met Mollie the labrador.
We will be taking detailed records of the
kittens’ and Harriet’s weight, as well as
general health and behaviour back to West
Hatch this week, when they start the next
phase of their journey. But from watching
and getting to know them we can see
that they are filled with enthusiasm and
curiosity and are ready to be excellent
companions in their new forever homes.
