How can the kittens be nine weeks already?

This is an important week for kittens as they have their first vaccinations and health checks with the vet.

They were all very well behaved in the car – their first time being outside or even out of the kitten room (if you do not count escaping) and really enjoyed all the attention from the reception staff at Tay Valley Vets . We are very lucky to have Jonathan as our vet (as he loves cats) but we did have to count the kittens back into their carrier as I was quite sure he had one in his pocket! Eilidh came along to help and thank goodness she did – she is the only one of us that can immediately say which kitten is which!

All five kittens passed their vet check with flying colours and were so well behaved when receiving their vaccinations. Jonathan was so gentle with them and they all enjoyed his cuddles and a different view of the examination room.

Jonathan will not be there for their second vaccinations as he thinks it is more important to spend Christmas with his family in Peru!

We expected the kittens to be a little subdued for the next 24-48 hours but no, within minutes of arriving home they were running around the kitten room and playing.
