Re: Picking up my first kitten on Wednesday!


Congratulations Whiley! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see pics

How sad about the other kitten, I can't imagine what led to that conclusion

Re: Picking up my first kitten on Wednesday!


Its so sad isnt it, I'll ask more about it when i collect him.

For some unknown reason my oestrogen barrier crumbled and ridiculously, i allowed Darren to name him.
After i had very firmly insisted that 'Optimus Prime' nor 'Barry' were suitable names, we settled on Leon, which is Darrens favourite film, with Jean Reno. Thought it was kinda cute!

PMSL Optimus Prime?? You should agree to that then make him stand in the garden later on shouting it to come in

Re: Picking up my first kitten on Wednesday!


Have to say, that was highly tempting!

We've picked up some goodies for him, a cute little blue collar with diddy smooth brass studs, a double bowl thingy, litter tray and some toys, but i'll be making some more toys tonight i think!

Also going to pick up a cover for the sofa, and other bits today, but still not aware of what food or litter hes on so that'll be a swing by a pet shop on the return journey from picking him up me thinks!

I already have several carriers for the ratties!

Re: Picking up my first kitten on Wednesday!


It's very exiting!!!!

When I had caspurr booked I bought a scratch poll at a show, only had about another 7 weeks to wait . The things we do.
Optimus Prime sounds good to me providing your OH takes him to all his vets appointments and shouts on him to come in .

Leon is a cute name. Cant wait to see him AND it's one day closer to Saturday

Not long to go!
I hope Leon provides you with hours of entertainment and cuddles.

Re: Picking up my first kitten on Wednesday!


Awwr the camera wont leave me at all!

I've just been told that we've been invited to a party tomorrow night That means no one will be with him, but unfortunately we do have to make an appearance. It will likely be no more than a few hours though that he'll be alone.

What do you suggest we do in this situation? I'm incredibly tempted to stay and 'pull a sickie' as it were, but if it turns out that i am needed, what should we do?

We could keep him in a room alone to snuggle up, but might that worry him? I dont want to keep him in a carrier for those few hours, but i do have a few spare large cages from my ratties that will give him more turning room.

I doubt i will go, but i want to be prepared. I just know this particular person will hold it against me for a jolly long time if i dont turn up.
