Few pics of the boys

Been a while since I last posted, and they've been to the Vets in that time.  Only for a dental check-up, and quick health check.  Happy to say both passed with flying colours, with perfect teeth and an athletic-ish build so the Vet Nurse was very happy.  Mcgee weighed in at a slightly heavier 3.5kg and Timmy 3.4kg.  Seems like more when you wake up and they're both on your chest with their faces in yours as if to get "Get up... We need food!"

They love sleeping in random positions

Why you try to wake me?!?

Hunting the weeds

Again a random position to sleep in

Fun at the kitten hotel

So whilst me and Claire were living it up in London, the boys went to stay with their mama and gramps.  They seemed to have lots of fun, but most of it was aimed towards chasing Max around the house.  When we got their Sunday afternoon Max just laid their with his tail looking really fluffy, and a look on his face that said "If you don't remove these from MY house soon there will be trouble" hahahha!  Jackie said it was amusing watching them chase around as a pack rather than individual.  Stevie and Pheobe the other 2 cats were alot less accommodating that Max, which we thought would be the other way round.  Accordint go Claire Max used to be the Don of the trio.

I see you Max.....

Just biding my time....

Hiya... Remember me?!?

Cute yet deceptive

Looking cute right?
So now the kittens are being let out alot more, we've noticed that McGee tends to want to run to the end of the garden path, after his first night of getting lost and a search party being sent, and he tends not to go any further.  Timmy on the other hand will wander and wander till he gets scared, or bored, and then he will find his way home, and jump on the door till we open it.  For some reason McGee will scratch at the door, but timmy jumps up, and gets his claws into the rubber, and proceeds to bite the door handle.   Of all the times he's done this, by the time I get the Blackberry ready to take a photo he jumps off grrrrr!

Anyway I digress.  A few nights ago we noticed that after Timmy had wet our bedding whilst sat on the bed, and over the next few days he'd wet the cat bed, and the new larger cat bed we'd brought them.  Having looked around online for some answers, we're in the middle of trying to locate the problem, but the last 2 or 3 times, have coincided with Timmy coming back from a long walk, where he tends to visit a garden with the house next door to a large dog, and I'm not sure if he's been scared by the barking or not, but yesterday I didn't let him out, and it he used the cat litter, so I'm not sure if the 2 are linked or not.  Suppose keeping him indoors for a few days, no matter how much he whines and cries will enable us to see if he's been scared or stressed whilst walking out.
More cuteness
I'm also making a larger effort to make sure the cat litter is as tidy as it can be, altho when me and Claire are working days it's hard to keep clean!  Anyone got any other ideas as to what may be causing this, short of a visit to the vets if it carries on to rule out Urinary Tract Infection
