Just my two moggy girls here. I would quite like, in the future, a big ginger moggy tom or old-style seal point siamese tom, but I do not think that would be in any close time tbh.
Anyway, Bella's constantly into trouble so I think counts for about TEN cats!

Hi Mags
Not all the cats live inside. The 3 moggies spend most of their time outdoors and only come in for feeding and then off again. One of my ragdolls is outside all the time as he is my stud cat. The kittens are in kittening pens in the living room so they are safe and i know where they are along with their mums.
The rest of the cats take it in turns at being in the house and out in the heated pens in the garden. They all get a brush in the morning and a cuddle when they are fed and again at night time when we do the rounds. The ones that are in the house at the time get to come to bed with us and have biggg cuddles hence the rotation system. It works well for us and we make sure no one gets left out. Its also a big help if ever anyone gets the sniffles as it prevents the whole lot of them coming down with it and its easier to isolate.

Peapod is doing reall well and has totally recovered from her ordeal and operation. Sadly she has had to be rehomed as she developed an intolerance to normal cat food and biscuits and needed to be put on a special prescription diet permanently. It wasnt practical for that to happen here and she was always managing to get hold of food she wasnt supposed to have. That in turn was causing her to be quite ill with stomach ulcers. In the end we made the hard decision to rehome her. She now lives in a mansion in Cheltenham with another old lady cat who is 12. They live the life of riley both on their prescription diets. Sharing the sofa and the garden lounger in the sunshine. We get regular updates about her and it is such a relief she is loved and cared for.
She even went to her new home in a leather Prada cat carrier . Just hope she didnt leave them a parcel in it on the way

Awww, what a happy ending for Peapod!

[Mags]

They must all keep you busy Sarah!

I'm pleased to hear Peapod has recovered and gone to a home that will cope with her diet .......it must have been difficult to keep her away from the food of the others...

[sarahd]

It was really hard and hard on the others too as they were just so used to being able to help themselves to biscuits at any time of day or night
But now she is a lady of leisure and really living life to the full with her older friend so that makes it all worth while for her.

It is very hard Sarah when one cat has to have a special diet, as you know I have Porsha who has a severe food intolerance but I manage to get by and mine are all kept together. If I kept mine in smaller groups it would be much easier I must admit. For all the difficulties I encounter with Porsha's intolerance, I still could not rehome her though, I just love her too much. I hope Peapod has now finally found her forever home, she must be quite confused, bless her. How long had you had her Sarah?

Just the two at the moment, Des and Bubs (brother and sister), but we have had up to six. Have sadly lost 3 to old age illnesses and one (Mizz, last year) to probably a brain tumour, in the last 2 years.

However, am seriously considering taking on a new rescue kitten sometime soon!
