I wish I could like those last few posts more than once.
Tobytoes is just so cute. Especially in the top one....lying on the sofa peeking around the arm rest...
And Molly is gorgeous ...with her huge eyes and lovely white whiskers. She would talk to you with that little face.

Toby looks more innocent than most cats I've known. Is this a distorted impression, drawn from a few photos?
I went round my next door neighbours to feed their two for the first time this evening. One of them was delighted, the other continued her long-held ambivalence towards me.
Missy followed me into their back garden and tried to get in, so I had to shut the door sharpish. She later hissed at me for the first time in over a year, presumably because she'd never seen me on enemy territory before.

There's a lovely black and white cat in my garden... I think it's a she as she is smallish. She just spent 10 minutes rolling around on the ground and chilling out.
The dog next door is going berzerk lol...
And the cat is looking very smug about it

I'm looking for advice, please I have a cat. She's about 3 years old and was dumped in a taped up box before she came to us. She apparently had a bit of a shit start in life but is really happy now. She's a great family pet: really affectionate, good natured and tolerant of my children. We love her.
Anyway I stayed at a friend's house this weekend and her two cats have had two litters of kittens this year. They're fed and happy enough, but there was one older kitten who seemed to be bullied by the bigger cats and was quite frightened of people too (friend has three young kids who are quite boisterous). I offered to take this one and she was really pleased. But my bloke and mum think that it would be really unfair to current cat.
urgh tl;dr Introducing a second cat when the first has already been with you for a few years. Bad idea or do the cats eventually just rub along?

Thanks, that’s helpful. Unfortunately though I suppose there is no way of knowing how sociable or not my cat is until I try it.
The ginger I sometimes meet on my way to and from work was over the moon to see me this morning. So much so that after rolling around and brushing my legs, he then stood on his back legs and wrapped his front ones around my thigh, so desperate was he for me to stick around. I was tempted to pull a sickie and just stay with him.

Sonic has to go to the vet again to get one of his claws sorted out - he's getting on a bit now, has arthritis, and doesn't wear them down or properly pull off the dead outer layers by running around/climbing/scratching like a younger cat would, and occasionally gets a "thick claw" thing going on, which I can't cut cos of the arthritis in my hands.
Our vet surgery does a claw trim and general wellbeing/advice/grooming service with a veterinary nurse for £10.50, which I make use of in these situations.

I'd keep an eye on it, having changed appetite can be a symptom of various things, if she carries on eating and being really hungry and loses weight, then book a vet appt for her.

Yeah hopefully worms, that's the most easily rectified thing out of all the options, so fingers crossed for that

Milly is covered in cleavers (little sticky balls)
So this wash may take some time.
Shes like a cat feather duster the amount of crud she picks up on her travels.
