Hey, I thought I'd just give everyone a little update on Bailey

He's firmly a Bailey now hehe.
He was 10 weeks old on Wednesday and he's going for his first kitten shots tomorrow morning! Alarmingly, he's rather large for a 10 week old kitten. He's a half Maine Coon so I knew he'd probably grow quite large but he's already only a few inches shorter than Clive and he has huge feet and is generally stocky all over... I think I've acquired a rather large cat
I've added some more photos to his Imgur account

I've left him loose with the boys today for the first time - usually I shut him in his room while I'm out and leave him loose at night when I'm in but he's getting on well with the boys now and they can get up onto the window sills out of his way if he gets too annoying so I thought it was time to start letting him have the full run of the house
I've got some pretty major building work going on at my house at the moment and they started drilling into my external walls this morning and poor little Bailey was absolutely frozen with terror - I was worried I was going to have to bring him to work with me as he was so freaked out. However, the big boys were completely unfazed so, after a bit of fuss, Bailey started to watch the boys and figured if they weren't bothered then maybe it wasn't so bad. He freaked out a bit when some hammering started and he ran to Clive for safety and Clive gave him a bit of a wash (awww!) and started mothering him! So cute, Clive is behaving like his uncle
Harvey is a little less amused and just looks at Bailey with a very obvious "what is this annoying creature and when is it leaving" look but he's very tolerant of him now. He seems to know that he's just a baby so although he'll give him a clip around the ear if he gets too rough, he's fairly gentle with him. Bailey has taken to running full pelt up to Harvey and jumping onto his back like he's riding a pony - this is when Harv will give him a clout, understandably
So happy I've got him, it's made a huge difference to the boys and they seem to have gone back a few years in time - they're really kitteny now and so playful again and although Harvey pretends he finds Bailey annoying, it's obvious that he does actually like him

I caught him giving him a quick wash earlier but as soon as he realised I was looking he got up and walked off
