I knew that 2 of Porridge's kittens were going to their new home today, (their new home being my OH's ex for her and OH's kids, so I will be able to hear how they are doing) but thought I'd have an hour with them at home after work so I could play with them and give them cuddles for the last time. However, I got home and the new owner was picking them up, so I didn't get the time I wanted with them. And now they are gone and when everyone left, I cried! It's amazing how attached I got to them over the last 10 weeks. We're keeping the boy kitten, so that's happy, but I already miss the other two.

Does anyone else get upset when their kittens leave to go to their new home?

My breeder had a very hard time saying goodbye to one of my kittens. He was born a bit deformed and he survived to be completely (... more like relatively ) normal despite the vets initial opinion. Her mum is actually running the place and was out when we picked Bloo up. She was devastated to come home and realise he had gone.

We do bring them back a few times a year for boarding and I suspect she waits until we are gone and then spoils him rotten - not that we mind They are lovely with Freckle too but often comment that if Bloo had been born normally he could have been with them as a stud. We just consider ourselves lucky to have such beautiful cats and appreciate the support from the breeder. They are glad that they still get to see the boys and we keep in contact (and spoil them).

Oh bless you. I would be terrible and end up keeping them all With 2 female kittens now that must not happen hence spaying ASAP lol.

I even cried when i took them away from their mum

I had fell toatally in love with them after 1 week so would stand no chance after 10 I would defo be the mad cat woman

At least you get updates knowing the new owners and think of all that love for the boy now he dosnt have to share you

That is very true and my little boy is just gorgeous! As is his Mum! And I'm happy that the 2 who have gone are together.
