I miss my cat

[sammy]

Kazz, you only have to look at my experience at the cattery yesterday to know that you can go with one thing in mind and come away with the total opposite! You get chosen!

Like DM, I like to get to know the cat before I name them - my first 2 ended up with completely different names from what we'd first named them - that taught us a lesson! Which is why I'm taking my time with 'Purdie' - though it's starting to stick!


Unlike others, I've found females to be more affectionate - this one is as soppy as they come. Mind you, she'd chosen us before we even knew her sex!

Oh they most definitely will chose you lol!!

I looked at loads of kitties in the last month or so, was specifically looking for a blue female (HAD to be female as I am in a housefull of boys - husband, children, hamster, cat, all boys!!). Well guess what.. I went to the RSPCA fosterer home and met a load of 16 week old kittens, all absolutely adorable and fell in love with the most funny and playful one of the lot - a ginger male Needless to say we have him home and are absolutely and completely and utterly in love with him.

Also agree that names come after you have met them, although I like:

Girl: Purdy, Tabitha, Harriett
Boy: Harvey, Thomas, Timothy

All good Kazz. Dolly was our first Staffie (we lived near Parton Road! ) but the Dolly Mixture connection is great!
I think Mouse is a pretty name for a pretty little girl.

Brainwave! (beware! )
Is this litle boy still looking? http://www.catsey.com/showthread.php?t=22854
He sounds gorgeous! And he would go well with a tortie girl (Dolly) or a passed-over/nobody wants these tux boy.
Naughty Smudgley - not around when she's needed!

I go mainly for boys because they are so much easier to be neutered I had an horrendous experiance with Confucious - she cost me a fortune in the first week of getting her. The rescue cattery got her neutered and we had to take her right after the operation - I was wanting to wait a couple of days but they said they wouldn't keep her for me - understandable they needed the space. So that cat pulled her stitches out a few times and the vet ended up gluing the wound! So boys are much easier LOL


I love the names Solomon and Oliver that were mentioned.

[Kazz]

Where is Smudgley when I need her....come on Kel......where are you hiding woman.

Mind you I am not in a rush so do not mind waiting for the right one or two.

The right two are out there Kazz, just waiting to pick you...

Yes I suspect they are but the worrying thing is the introduction .....I mean another 24 years that will be almost 1/2 a century with just 2 or 3 cats. Thats a long long time.......Its the introductions...I mean what if they do not like me

They will love you Kazz, you are an animal person, and cats especially know a good one when they meet them

[Kazz]

Yeah I suspect they will - just wait till they get introduced to the sharp stick
