| I'm so freakin excited! I'm running around kitten proofing the house and getting ready for the girls... Do any of you cat owners have any advice for me???? Also... They are eating Kitten chow..... I didn't think people actually actually fed that to their cats, isn't it junk foodish?? Like it tastes really good but is not too good for them? The gal was totally embarressed when she told me too... I think its what she could afford, she has 3 boys and is a single mom... What all are you feeding your kitty cats???

| Well, I am embarrassed to tell you, but we feed our cat, Science Diet, as recommended by our vet. (I would never feed SD to Millie or Jazzie). But "we" had a weight problem and a hairball problem and this is what our vet recommended. I had her on Light/Hairball Control, but now have her on senior/hairball control. My cat is so finicky, this is the only thing she will eat at this stage in her life. She does not eat canned food or any treats at all. I could leave the dog food down all day long and she will not eat it. So it's SD for her. (Oh by the way, she is still over weight!)

In looking around I happened apon a pair of twins, 6months old that had not been advertised till that day! The owner/breeder is a single mom with 3 boys who works graveyard 12 hour shifts! this was her last litter! its just proved to be too much for her. And She and I both felt like these girls were meant for me.. the timing was TOO perfect!

Ya but cat and kitten chow is like 3 bucks a box at vons... last I bought it..... For alley cays when I was broke... It was cheap and I felt bad for the cat... But it couldn't have been very quality??? I am hoping to find a good food to switch them on to... I know TONS! of cats on science diet RX's lots of males for urinary issues... Seems to be all I know is SD cats. There weren't a whole lot of choices not so long ago. I know the market is expanding to keep up with the demands for better foods. Its not just dog owners who want quality food for their pets. Sicence diet is not cheap. There are better foods out there... but there are FAR WORSE! I wouldn't be embarresed at all.

Penelope (Penny) and Prudence! And when we get excited and play with the feather toy, we can do the PP dance!!! Penny and Prudence.. P P! LOL I know, I'm such a dork! And I have awespme show names picked out too! I have applied for a cattery name for show usage, and in the event that I ever decide to breed the girls. Skin City Cattery was my first choice and should go through... so their papered names will be: A Lucky Penny of Skin city Trust in Prudence of Skin City What do you think??

| I am so excited for you. I have also loved cats. I used to feed mine Petsmart Authority chicken & Rice. The vet didn't seem to have a problem with it. I also mixed in some purina hairball variety. The petsmart brand has a hairball variety now. I still mixed the two a little since they liked it so much. Good luck with them. I am sooo jealous! I have thought about getting a kitten but since one of mine had a potty issue, I am afraid that another cat will pick up on it and start doing the same. I wish I could though.

| My biggest fear was keeping the dogs out of the litter box! but I found one that has a top entry so the dogs cant get in it! Woo Hoo! But in the back of my mind I'm thinking; leave it to Pixie... she'll find a way!

| Be prepared for them to walk, climb, and/or crawl on every single surface or crevice in your house.

As for food, I would get them something much better. My son feeds an all natural cat food to his cat, and he's very healthy and looks beautiful. I can't think of the name of it, but it was recommended by a vet and the cat loves it!
