The Dustcart kittens are now no longer kittens!! Although they still get into plenty of mischief..
They are now over two years old and have grown into great cats... each with their own personality.
Dusty being the quiet one that likes his own company.. stays out of trouble.
Rocket is the adventurous one... always getting into trouble including jumping from a wall that was much to high to jump from and breaking his leg!!
Phoenix.. now named Cuddles by my children... well... the name says it all!! He loves his cuddles and is happiest when sitting on someones lap!!

The kittens are growing by the day now and becoming more curious and wanting to explore their surroundings.

The 'Dustcart Kittens' are 8 weeks old today. If I'd been thinking about finding them homes I guess now's the time I would be doing it! But I'll not be finding them homes.. I'm going to keep them all together here with me. They get on well with the dogs and our other cats and I just wouldn't be able to part with them now. They truly have become a big part of our family. When I found them in the Dustcart, I honestly didn't think they would survive... but they proved me wrong! They are little survivors and great kittens!!

This was a funny moment!! Dusty was playing with our dog Tess's tail. Moments after taking this photo Tess decided she'd had enough of her tail being used as a play thing and got up and walked off. Only trouble was... Dusty decided to hang on and Tess walked from the dinning area into the kitchen with a playful kitten hanging on to her tail... wish I'd recorded it instead of taking photos because it did look so funny!!!

The winner of 'The Fight for the Sunny Spot' is.........

Dusty, Phoenix and Rocket all fight over what is seemingly the best spot for relaxing in the kitchen! None of them are willing to share this spot with their ...

Once upon-a-time there was three little kittens 'The Dustcart Kittens' and one sunny morning Rocket found, in the corner of the kitchen, a lovely sunny spot to lay in. But... Phoenix noticed that his little brother was having a relaxing time in the sun and wanted to join him. Rocket wasn't having none of that... he wanted this lovely warm sunny spot all to himself!! So... Rocket fought Phoenix for his right to stay in the best spot in the kitchen... but sadly Rocket lost the fight and runs off leaving Phoenix to settle down in the warm sunny spot. Feeling pleased with himself Phoenix licks himself & smooths down his fur after it being ruffled in the fight. But... Oh no Phoenix... look who's spotted you.. Dusty!! Once again Phoenix is fighting for the sunny spot... and fight he does, claws out, ears back he tries to defend his spot!! But Dusty sneaks around the back of him... now Dusty has the advantage and pushes Phoenix out of the favoured spot!! Poor Phoenix.. after such a good show of claws and fur flying, Dusty claims the much desired sunny spot!
Dusty feels very proud of himself, licks his war wounds and settles down in the sun to relax. But... oh dear Dusty.. who's that coming towards you?? Look out, it's Phoenix back again!! Phoenix was not about to give his spot up was back again to claim it as his... and so the fight begins.. again!! All the noise attracts Rocket back again. Now.. he was the one who found the sunny spot in the first place, so he joins in the rough and tumble also!! Three little kittens fighting for a sunny spot... but who do you think won???

I didn't realise how kitten 'unfriendly' my home was until today! Seems the kittens have found their feet and enjoying the freedom of running around the whole house!! Pots have had to be moved, ornaments moved and this afternoon they found my plastic bags! So they will now have to be moved also!
It's great to see them playing... but they really are going through the house and getting themselves into a lot of mischief!!
