We are in self imposed semi lockdown due to me being 'extremely vulnerable'. We cancelled our holiday to India and really can't see ourselves getting on a plane anytime soon.
So one of my daughters made me get an eight week old kitten. She said that she would take it if we struggled. We have had him a few days and he is absolutely beautiful. Our house is a smelly mess but nobody visits us at the moment so it doesn't matter.
He is very, very pretty but my husband has renamed him 'dragonarse' (sorry but how can such a pretty, tiny little thing produce something so smelly?) He is fluffy and we washed his bottom twice yesterday evening without resolving the problem.
He was terrified when we first got him and a few days later is now very happy and has us firmly under control.
Liz46 He sounds absolutely gorgeous. Has he got stinking silent wind? I had a darling little rescue kitten who could clear the room. There would be no noise, just an all-pervading dreadful smell. I took her to the vet and he laughed but prescribed something which worked. I think she had parasites or similar.
I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with him. I couldn't have got through months of solitary confinement without my lovely Phoebe.
