Another great thread Nat ... here goes or Posh.

Breed: Persian , although not 'official', not registered or anything, but really to type. Colour, blue point, creamy coat and silky white underbelly.

Age: we estimate about 2 to 3, maybe older?

Fav. place to sleep: Has the run of the house at night but stays mostly on the sofa. Has a liking for windowsills and Dad's lap

Fav. food /drink. A fussy madam (of course) but will eat wet pouch Whiskas poultry varieties, mixed with ham. Loves chicken breast, tuna, custard, and anything by hand that the servants will provide!

When did she arrive with you and how?... long story, it was a dark and stormy night .... On Nov 24th 2007.She walked up the path miaowed to come in and once she got her foot in the door that was it; I couldn't turn her out. We tried to find out who she belonged to to no avail, after a month we claimed her as ours and we've never looked back. She dropped out of the sky into our hearts; it was meant to be.

What time is she fed?... 06:30 then 12:30, then a little teatime snack at 5 oclock, once more at 10pm. Eats little and often; small appetite, skinny minne, hence the name!

Indoor/outdoor?... mostly indoor now in the winter but will go out the garden in the summer, under supervision. Will try a harness I think. Suits an indoor life, loves heat and sleeping. Litter trained in her 'first life' so must have been indoors then.

Fav. Toy?... People, oh yes, we amuse her more than anything! Plays us for the fools we are! likes to sit on newspapers and climb over keyboards sticking her backside in your face. Will some times have 'funny five minutes' with her shadow, or the dog, playing hunter but it doesn't last long and she gets a bit embarrassed by her native behaviour. Then it's back to being Her Serene Highness

Likes/dislikes: being with people, gently patting your trouser leg for attention, stretching and clawing at the leather sofa (argh) with 'that' look in her eye. Sleeeeeeeping ... yawn. Being stroked, tickled, groomed.

Personality: If ever there was a princess she was one in in a fomer life. She's quite the madam but she has a sweet disposition. I've never heard her hiss, she's never scratched me, she teases the old dog but really wants to cuddle her. Everyone loves her and she loves her people

Great thread!

Leia

Breed - DSH blue torbie

Age - will be 10 in March

Favorite sleeping spot - seasonal: radiator cover in Winter, her soft chair in the sun in Summer; and in bed with me at night

Arrival - a friend who'd been rehoming her temporarily for her employee who was forced out of her flat due to flooding and couldn't keep Leia. Nora knew my Misty who'd recently died, and as Leia was also a blue torbie, said that was the kitten for me. And she was right! She was about 6 months when she came to me.

Favorite Food/Drink - Ms, Picky! Fancy Feast Minced Chicken, Beef and Chicken, Grilled Beef, dislikes all "people food" except ham. Hates fish (except tuna, and will eat that only grudgingly) and cheese. Hates pate type foods. Drinks water only.

What feeding time: little and often! She likes breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and pre-bedtime feedings. Plus her hand-picked grass every day!

Indoor only - but an excellent mouser when we get some, and once caught and promptly killed a very large rat!!!

Favorite toy - varies, right now it's the box with a hole in it for catching her toy mouse.

Likes/dislikes - tummy rubs, a combing, chin tickles. Detests being pilled! Doesn't much care for visitors.

Personality - she's a laid back cat, not very active but occasionally gets the crazies! Not much of a lap cat, alas! A soft voice and soft purr. Scared of outdoors, so hassn't been harness trained.
