May I make my application please
To officially join up with the A&N Department (Pets Section). I went to view some kittens today (fully intending to adopt a ginger male kitten....lol) and am now the proud owner-to-be of two female cats, neither of whom are kittens nor ginger...
I fell in love with an 8 year old tabby and a 1 year b&w .................................................. who both entranced me with their nature, attitude and cuddliness (is that a real word ?). The 8 y.o. was so laid back, placid and easy going that we clicked straight away. She also looked like she really needed to be in a real home environment, not a cat shelter, poor wee thing... The b&w was miss curiosity herself and ended up in my arms - great fun ahead I think !

Oh, Jugglering, you're LOVELY!! Adopting two wee cats like that - everyone wants kittens, but when someone like you comes along & takes 2 adults, who just want a loving home for the rest of their days....well, I'm overwhelmed!! Bless you! (I hope they get on together!!) Love, K xxx

That's lovely Jugglering! I'm startng to think about getting another one myself, to give my wee Jess some company (and more fun for me too!)! lol
Unfortunately, I don't think the shelters would let adopt as I live in a rented flat...:O(

may you have many years of happiness together

Thanks Kleiber... everyone at the home was a bit surprised at me choosing the 8 y.o. too ! But she was so sweet, gentle and loving and looked at me in such an enticing way... I am glad I went in with an open mind and was just looking for some fellow company, not just high jinks and friskiness....

i think these two cats have adopted a new parent

That is so nice - most people want a kitten and I love them but they too grow up quickly. It is a special person who adopts adult cats. I wish you many happy years with your "girls" - I am sure that you will love them and that they will have a lovely home with you.
I am sat here with my old lady who I adopted at the age of 2 nearly 16 years ago - you have lots of fun ahead of you.

LOL Pusspuss.... I think you might be right there !
So far, I have spent a fortune (and rightly so) in The Range.... on stuff for my new friends... cat beds (both are like little houses (ok, hidey places - one is like an multi coloured igloo and the other is like a cuddly indoor kennel), food bowls, litter trays etc etc. When I get a chance to take a pic of new friends in their special homes, I'll post it up. The superdooper Pet Porte cat flap has already been installed and since both cats have been microchipped, all I have to do is program them in. I will keep them indoors for at least a week or so though, until they are happy with each other and being here... it's yet another traumatic time for the wee critters.

one is like an multi coloured igloo and the other is like a cuddly indoor kennel............sounds like the ritz hotel for cats
|
|

When are you going to pick them up, Jugglering?
|

Question Author
Yep, DrFilth.... definitely the Ritz (Cat) Hotel here !
The owners of the cat shelter bring the cats to me so that the cats don't feel they are being taken away, but are being *moved into new loving homes*, sometime early next week hopefully. That also ensures that the shelter can be sure of where the cats are going too ! Don't worry, you lot will sure hear of the next developments !

thats two very luckly pussy cats, i hope that they both give you many years of love and affection. my much missed puss came from an animal refuge and he picked my mum and me and he filled my life with joy, he was a very happy cat and i will miss him to my dying day.

Best wishes with both of them.
I constantly regret adopting my two furrybabies - usually when Frankie is dive-bombing my feet first thing in the morning - but they are great cats and we are a little lion pride.
Soon you will have two little ladies to boss you around!

Wow Juggles! You've sort of copied me haven't you. Lol
Back in 2001 I went to Battersea Dogs & Cats home to get 2 kittens. I ended up with 2 year old Tigger the tabby and 2 year old Bluey who is black. They wouldn't allow me to have kittens as I work all day so I had a browse and fell in love with Tiggy and Bluey. They are 8 now and still very naughty little kitties. Lol
I still miss my little Snoopy though. He was put down on my birthday in 2000. He was 15 and had kidney failure.

cats most definatly leave paw prints on our hearts, my little furry friend sam who trys to pretend hes a stray was sun bathing with me thru the week.
|
|
|
yep - pawprints on our hearts, claw marks on our skin and cat hairs everywhere.
My two have such huge personalities that I sometimes forget that they are little pussy cats.
Must go - my master and mistress are calling.

Well my old lady was downstairs yelling at 4am today - she usually comes up and does that in my ear but today her thinking was that she would get me up to see what was wrong - absolutely nothing as it turns out.
Juggerling your cats will take over and non-cat people will think you are crazy for putting up with it but they are such characters you can't help but love them. I wouldn't change my 2 for the world.

Well Jugglering you have joined the club, you are now the slave to your new pals,hours of fun,hours of cleaning cat hairs,hours of finding which food they like the best oh I could go on forever but most of all hours of love and affection they will repay in many ways.Happy days ahead.g.

Thanks everybody for welcoming me to the *Slaves to cats club* .... I'm well aware of the trials and tribulations I will have to face (having had slave masters and mistresses in the past), I'd forgotten all about the joys of the 4 am playtime start, the warm laps, snuggled toes (brilliant in cold weather) and cuddles.
