@ Dandysmom I never even thought of the Star Wars reference! In my defence I have never seen the films. She is very regal looking though.

Thanks! I met her and her siblings with no intention of adopting one of them, though having seen pics I rather thought she was the one I'd want if I took any. The visit cinched it - she was one of the only 2 who sat on my lap for a visit (the other was already claimed!), and I found myself sitting up half the night trying to work out what to call her if I did get her...

Eventually I realised that her colouring is grey (veyr dark grey!) and white (she was refered to as G&W by the friend who introduced me to the kittens and the person who was looking after 'mum') and then I twigged that clouds can be grey and white, and the name stuck with me!

Of course, having named her, I then Had to get her!!!

Re: Hello all!


I had fallen in love with a couple of kittens in Bonnyrigg called Scribbles and Simba (I would have re named Simba) but I couldn't take them because the Lothian Cat Rescue don't adopt to the borders. But the name Scribbles has stayed with me.

Re: Hello all!


Funny how a name can stick with us ... for some reason I always wanted to call a cat Tiggles, none of mine ever suited it. but mentioned it to a friend here and we now have a Catsey Tiggles!

And Taz .... short for the Tazmanian Devil of cartoon fame ........

LOL, she does regal very well .... also silly poses washing up and/or soliciting tummy rubs!! I never saw the Star Wars movies either, but her previous owner obviously had. She was just about 5 months old when I got her.

Re: Hello all!


its the same here. Im waiting for the OH to come home, he was working in inverness today. Need to decide on what we are having for dinner tonight which will most probably mean a trip to asda in the horrid weather

Theres a few scots on this which is great but everyone from all over thats on this are really friendly. I had loads of questions when i first got harris (he was 5 month at the time) as ive never had a cat before. I joined in august but in a good way it feels like ive been a member longer than that!!!
