Next time take basket to kittens not the other way round. Glad I had given myself plenty of time. They were weighed and are both healthy.
Oh and I have a scratch for my troubles that is beginning to hurt
Today I am thankful for two lively kittens
for sunshine for the sale (after yesterdays blustery rainy day)
a meal that I had already prepared (see yesterdays post)
ps after Lizzie said about the tale of how to pill a cat I found it on line here well worth ready as it will have you in stitches (not literally that was for the cat's own human)

Sounds like an eventful but ultimately successful day.

Oh Mary I so identified witht his
Glad they are both well and hope the scratch doesn't hurt too much
Oh Mary, that reminds me of the sketch on "How to Pill your Cat", which made everyone laugh a while back! Poor old kittens - and poor Mary!
Do take care of the scratch - you can get an infection quite easily, so do keep it clean. If you have any sudocrem, it's good for healing cat-scratches and it helps to stop them stinging too.
Glad that the effort was worthwhile and that the kittens are both healthy and fit.
Would have made a great video, sorry tee hee hee. I can imagine it to Benny hill music.
My goodness Mary that was quite a chain of events.
Glad it had a successful outcome and the kittens are A1. I hope your battle scars heal quickly!
