@dlowan,
Okay, a cat ten times her size would be a lion, and the corresponding "purr" would be a roar. Shouldn't you be worried?

It's her purr, not mine.

Man it's a great purr though...deep and rich.

@dlowan,
I wonder if it'll get louder as she gets bigger?

@dlowan,
Some throwing herself at you!

I wonder if cats distinguish between public and private settings. When I visited Blatham and Lola, one of their cats wouldn't even look at me when we were in the living room and he two were around. But whenever I went to my guest room to have a nap or read a book, she would open the door, jump on my bed, and cuddle up. Perhaps something similar is going on with Sebastian.

Thomas, how small do you think a lion is? Or how big do you think these kittens are? A full-grown lion is about 550 pounds. I'm guessing that the kittens are under 5 pounds.

Deb, do you know how much the kittens weigh (in pounds?). Ten times the size of one might be the equivalent of a Mikey.

@Roberta,
A bit over a kilo. Maybe one and a half kilos?

Not sure in pounds.

Ten times Viola is no lion.

Maybe a serval?

@dlowan,
A kilo is 2.2 pounds (thansk, google). So ten times a Viola is less than a Mikey.

A small serval equals a Mikey (25 pounds). A big serval is around 40 pounds.

Did Miranda respond to your visitors?

I didn't stress her further by calling her....she's shy with visitors.

@dlowan,
First time with both kittens curled up on my lap on the sofa watching tv. Humble but lovely.

Miranda let Sebastian get damned close

@dlowan,
How is Miranda's health?

She certainly sounds on top of it, mentally and socially.

@ehBeth,
She vomited last night and she is pretty tense.

I am keeping a Close eye on her....don't like how tense she is

@dlowan,
The calming stuff isn't helping enough? can you give her something like a quarter dose of Benadryl? it works like a charm on Miss Cleo when we have to take her someplace she doesn't want to go - just takes the edge of her fear aggression tendencies.

@ehBeth,
I'd ask a vet before using benadryl. I did go and ask them for something...and they didn't suggest anything else.

I'm worried the vomiting is the next stage of her disease.

Miranda holding her ground in living room. Tolerating kittens quite close without growling.

@dlowan,
deb, Glad she's tolerating the kittens. A good sign. Vomiting. Not a good sign. What does the vet say?
