After all the recent sad posts about cats, a more positive one. We had to put our old lady down in the Spring after 16 years due to kidney failure. But the house felt too empty, so this pair of terrors came to be our new owners this week…
😀 Dogs have owners,cats have staff. 😀
Lookout wooden furniture, here they come 😉
Awww
Glad your joining the servant class again, they look beautiful but have needles for teeth and razors for claws,,,,,
Enjoy 🙂

I didn’t want a new sofa anyway…
Haha I love ours, he’s 8 now and she owned him from a kitten. He’s got so used to me we have a great bond with me mainly working from home.
Re: scratching, coir mats! We got new carpet on the landing, nice stuff, he started pulling on it. Got a coir mat and all he pulls now is that! I’m currently watching him sleeping on it too 🤣
For the last ten days I've been feeding neighbours cats. Only one feed a day for the 2 house cats abandoned two outside cars and I clean the kitten tray.
Takes under five minutes even negotiating the nechanisms of the four electronic cat feeders that are linked to individual cats chips.
Of course it takes much longer as I have to spend time playing with the buggers.
We got that second kitten I posted a thread about last night, she looks exactly like those two. Did you pick yours up from a house in Rumney by any chance? 🙂
Our existing cat was very interested and clearly wanted to say hi, but got some serious hissing in response. Early days yet though and current cat still seems chill.

Nah, we’re in the Midlands. They were last two of a litter that one of the nearby Cat’s Protection branches had. Was only looking for one, but seemed so unfair to separate them.
We have 2 BSHs - both house cats with no street smarts whatsoever. Yesterday afternoon I go a call from my wife asking if I'd seen Coco, the 12year old one....we'd had the inlaws staying with us over the weekend and not being as cautious with us with doors she must have got out.
Got in from work and went searching for a few hours, nothing 🙁 Went out again a bit later and still nothing, wife in pieces by this point - got to about 10pm and hated the thought of her out on her own, scared in the rain - went out again - calling her name and heard a very faint meow/cry - tracked her down to hiding behind our neighbours bin, very wet and very sorry for herself
Relief/Joy x 1000!!

There were two at the house we got ours from, and I did consider getting them both but they haven't been vaccinated, chipped or spayed and with my wife out of work that's a fair old sum of money.
Shadow 1 and shadow 2. Can you tell them apart yet?

Yeah, one is bigger than the other and more adventurous. The one in the bottom photo. They’re currently nameless, as the names the CPL gave were rubbish. We’re going to wait a little to see how their personalities develop more. Although I like Shadow!

Cats Protection take care of all of that (or give you a voucher for neutering if the cat is too young when you adopt), in exchange for a donation of £100 per cat.
If they were girls I suggest Penny and Poppy, as the top one looks like my current cat, Penny, and the fuzzier bottom one could well have been previous cat, Poppy. Obviously its totally normal to name your cats after someone else's random cats.
Haha their faces do look quite different on further viewing. Our black cat started out as ted but slowly became shadow.
Lovely 👍🏻

We've just adopted 3 kittens from Cats Protection and got the full package quoted above plus they've picked up two lots of vets fees for minor ailments in the first week of adoption and have kept in contact with us by phone to ensure everything is ok.
Have a look to see if the local Vets for Pets do vaccination for life for £99 - we've got three of our four on this deal and it paid back in two years, and is saving about £120 a year or more in vaccinations now (based on £40 a cat).

Here's Oliver, our rescue (RSPCA). He's chonked out a bit since we got him (left). He wasn't cut out for life in the streets and is much happier on our sofa/armchair/bed/ironing pile/other bed.

Thanks, I’ll look into that. Our usual vet was just under £60 per year for our old cat, so that would pay for itself pretty quick. And we do appear to have a Vets4Pets in our local Pets At Home store.
Oscar, my sister's cat. Looks cute, right? Total killing machine.

Interesting origins story. My sister works in the construction department of a vocational college. In late 2017 a toolbox turned up from another campus and was put on a shelf for a week. Eventually a tutor decided to see what they'd been sent. Inside was a cloth tool bag wrapped in cling film; when this was cut open, a very unhappy white cat jumped out...
My sister hadn't planned on getting another cat, too upset after having her two old ladies put down within a week of each other the year before. But, y'know. Oscar, the luckiest cat in Lancashire.
Used to know a pair of black cats that were called Lu and Cifer. Might be appropriate if they actually turn out to be terrors?
Cute. The neighbours cat says hi from my windowsill 😉
Wow, that’s a beauty!
Maine Coon, she's a beast. Think she likes to check the window for weaknesses so she can get in and eat us 😁
