Talulah (Lulah-bella) is the long haired black and white fluff ball, she's a tart of the highest order and falls over in front of all the boy cats so they can't miss her.
Jasper, the ginger boy is the most loving cat I've ever had, he can't sit still and goes all squirmy with excitement when there's the prospect of an ear tickle. He's a prolific hunter, probably around three kills a day at the moment....most of them get brought inside for me to see too!
Matilda (Tilly-monster) is the grey/brown tabby, she's just beginning to show her friendly side, she's very shy, very nervy but she's getting there. She's got a problem with her front legs, a birth defect that can't be fixed but it makes her a little clumsy and jumping isn't her thing, she walks with her legs turned inwards, almost stomping, hence the nick-name "monster".
All three kittens were picked up with a group of other cats by the RSPCA and had a dreadful start in life, Less than half the 20 or so cats made it through and these three have been really lucky to have survived. Tilly and Jasper appear to be from the same litter.
We originally went to the cat sanctuary for 2 kittens but when we saw these three together we knew we couldn't separate them. They snuggle up together, they play together, they wash and groom each other and they fight like siblings, it's been a privilege to have them join us.
Quite understand why you didn't want to seperate them and ended up with 3 cats instead of 2! When my kids were little we went to choose a kitten from a litter of 3... But the others would then make the Final Trip to the vet! Needless to say we took all 3! They were an absolute joy, our girls adored them, and I really miss them now that they are all gone to the Rainbow Bridge. Currently life dictates we don't have the time to look after cats, but who knows what the future will bring.
