I love how he fits purrfectly!

Judging again

 

[oryx]

Paddy has sacked off his Amazon envelope bed, so I've thrown it away (possibly prematurely ). New bed seems to be my desk, unfortunately. The igloo bed remains untouched.

 

[spanglechick]

The ginger princeling has arrived!

 

[Puddy_Tat]

And a plethora of teeny, tiny, yet painful, scratches

Oh top tip re. having a new kitten...

Don't play with him with your hands or feet or encourage him to play with you like that - it might be cute now but it soon wears thin if they spend the rest of their lives grabbing and play-biting them to initiate play with you! "Fishing Rod" style toys where your hands are well away from the area of play so aren't associated with the game are good.

Has anyone had a cat they brought pretty much everywhere with them?

Yes. The fishing rod is a huge hit.

I got the late black and white cat a new igloo to replace her manky-old cat cave. She seemed to hate it and simply refused to use it. Even her sister didn't pay that much attention, preferring a curl-up open bed instead.

So I chucked it out in the greenhouse and forgot about it.

Some time - weeks/months later, when she was on summer pattern and only occasionally looking-in to the house, I was out in the garden early and something caught my eye - it was her, curled-up happily in the igloo, which was perched on top of a pile of boxes, so snug but with a good view of her territory. She used that igloo, outside for some years, until the light/heat in the greenhouse rotted the fabric and I had to rearrange and replace it with an easier to climb into bed at a lower level due to her advancing age/stiffness in moving about.

I'd love to take him to the seaside next week, but there hasn't been a single car journey of any length ever that wasn't a constant yowl from the back seat. Poor thing does not like to travel at all, so we have to have a complete stranger come to the house to feed and water him.

 

[May Kasahara]

Yes. The fishing rod is a huge hit.

My two still love the laser pointer, and they're fairly lazy adults.

I opened my back curtains this morning, and saw one of my next door neighbour's cats sitting on the patio. I thought I could click my tongue or kiss my teeth to say hi, but I thought no, that would disturb her rhythm of staring at the garden wall.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Met this little sweetie on the train today. She's called Snowy and was going home with her new parents.

How's the little man settling in?

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Lilith being a bit camera shy.

 

[spanglechick]

How's the little man settling in?

He’s great. But I have to shut him out of the room whenever I eat. He will literally steal food from my lips.

Someone very nearby to me has found this stray and now I want to adopt it. Cannot though, circumstances just won’t allow it.
