Re: on the lookout again


the lady has said the boy is no longer available due to unforseen circumstances. But shes said she has 2 girls still available if im interested. Is it wise to take a girl if the boy has cat flu?

Re: on the lookout again


It would, for me, depend heavily on what unforeseen circumstances made the boy unavailable, and if she's unwilling to tell I certainly wouldn't go for it.

There again, I don't think I'd take a kit from that litter at all now. I may be wrong.

Would depend on the unforeseen circumstances. I know of two people who have taken cats on who have had cat flu as babies, or others in the litter have (both moggies, both rescues, and at least one mum wasn't in good condition) - the cats are 1 now, and haven't had any probs.

Re: on the lookout again


Not sure what I would do in your situation, I think I would be very cautious and be 100% sure.

I am a 'softie' for the sickly runts. I am a volunteer at our local Animal Sanctuary and often bring home the oldies or hard to home cats. It always gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to think I have made their last few years/months happy. Our latest cat Sidney, is disabled; born with 2 deformed front paws. He is the happiest, most loving. funny and amusing cat I have owned and I have had quite a few! His character is amazing. I know this situation is different and when we bought our pedigree Birman, I really don't think I would have been happy to pay for him if he had had cat flu.
