Yeah, I am.
I'm just glad she's finally gonna get somewhere to live. I've been calling cat charities for 18 months trying to get her a home. Took a long time but got there in the end

Landlord said no. If I was on a rolling contract then I would've just kept her but he wouldn't let me sign one like that and so he'll be coming around soon to sign a new one. I can't risk getting kicked out of here as it took me a long time to find somewhere decent to live while being unemployed (everywhere says no DSS).
Plus it's not suitable for her here. She needs a garden and a catflap.

Ah fair enough. It sucks when that happens doesn't it.
We've never told our agent / landlord we have a cat (would have had to spend an extra £200 on the deposit otherwise) and have to endure a farcical scenario when the landlord comes round where we hide the cat in our bedroom and turn the radio up loud to drown out her yowling (she hates being shut in a room, likes to know she can escape)

i know the smudge is true
aw ((fez)) I'm sure CP will look after her well and she'll find a good home.
My sister and her bf moved into a place which was apparently No Pets Allowed, so it was a bit strange for them to find paw print-shaped stickers on the window and a cat flap in the back door
The landlord has let them get some fish though.

You did a proper grand job of looking after her.
It doesn't make the catgap feeling any easier, but i'd bet my bottom dollar she'll get a forever home that fits her within days.
Take care, and I really hope you get somewhere properly cattable someday x
e2a: your landlord and non-rolling contract -
if it's an assured shorthold tenancy, they normally automatically roll afaik - might be worth checking with shelter? That's a whole other thread though..

Yes, and the thread is here.
(and
at the way my memory works. I remembered that I had posted to such a thread, and that I had used the term "bollocks" to describe the concept that you "must" have a new tenancy agreement every 6 months. unfortunately, it seems I have used the term "bollocks" in 136* different posts on Urban, hence the search took longer than I expected...)* previous to this one.

Thanks. I'll have a look at that (and dig out my contract to see what it actually says).(((Fez909)))

This was my Tallulah, I met her four and a half years ago after my cat Wilbur died and I needed to find a new companion for Wilbur’s best mate Archie. Luli had been a breeding queen but after 3 litters and 21 offspring she was getting fed up of kittens and so I went to meet her. I thought she was the weirdest looking cat when I first met her but when I walked in she jumped on my lap and held out her chin for scritches and I was smitten. So a fortnight later, after being spayed, she came home with me. When I went to pick her up, I put the cat carrier down on the floor and she just walked into it and sat down. She and Archie had to have a few scraps before Archie realised that she was in charge but they soon became the odd couple.
I met my boyfriend about a week after I got Luli and when he first came to my house he stroked her the wrong way and she gave him a massive scratch just above his eye, she was very good at letting you know when she was cross but never held a grudge and would be headbutting you for scritches two minutes after having been shrieking at you. Archie, Luli and I moved in with my boyfriend and his cat Higgins two years ago. Higgins was terrified of Luli despite being twice her size. She’d play a game of chess with him and sit in his way so he was trapped wherever he was. Her favourite spot was halfway up the stairs so we’d often have to escort Higgins up and down the stairs
Luli was diagnosed with heart disease – HCM – 2 years ago. But she took her pills and trundled on and at her last checkup this January the vet said she was doing really well and had ten years left in her
Last Friday was a typical day for Luli, she tried to eat my toast, growled at the postman, patrolled the garden for a bit, ate Higgins’ tea and headbutted me for neck scritches before bedtime. But then on Saturday morning she just didn’t wake up. We miss her so much.

forward communism, forward gerbils!
sorry for your loss cribynkle, she's a lovely kitty and sounds like she was a great personality.

Sent email/query to Zooplus on 20th - no response. I have just sent a second query giving them 24 hours to respond (resisting the temptation to state that any further emails or telephone calls to them will be chargeable). As my original contract is with Zooplus they are the ones who should be chasing Yodel. Is that correct?

Hopefully she won't have known anything.
Stunning puddys on this thread!! They've put a smile on my face today
Here are a few shots of my massive 'kittens' (8 months old!)
Trying to pretend the mess is nothing to do with them (actually it probably isn't but they do grab lego and sit in the drawers)
Favoured spot for sitting in (and I managed to get him not to run at me!)
Fab photos ms!
Took the noobs outside for the first time this aft. Rocky was hilarious - bouncing around the lawn like a tigger, and then tried to invade next door's hallway (left my phone inside tho so no pics 
)
Angel was unsure at first, but after a bit of eartickle and bellyrub started having an explore, knocked my coffee over, and had a bit of a sunbathe before we came back in

My mate has a white n ginger tom called Max who has extra toes (/thumbs ). Doesn't seem to bother him much. Nice kitty.

How are they responding to being on a lead? Mine are so keen to go out - sitting by the door when they see put on my jacket - so I am very tempted to try a little walkie.
Ok, I think. I managed to put it on backwards on Rocky first time round, and he wriggled out of it.. Cue much japes trying to get him back into the harness bit
They both did a bit of rolling around/biting the lead bit at first, but didn't do any of the 'i am flattening myself against the floor and not moving' thing that one of my old cats used to do.
Pepper was a bit scowly at it when I first took her out; I don't use it with her any more, and she seems to enjoy her time out a lot more without it. Going to get Rocky and Angel used to their surroundings with it for a few weeks and then see how they go...
