I am about to give a home to a brother and sister aged 6. The girl cat is all black and the boy black and white. Could I have name suggestions please ? Previous animals have been named using food or current singers' names, but any ideas are welcome..
Cats are also wild animals. They use us for their convenience and comfort, but as Jess says, on another thread, they also play havoc with our songbirds. We owe it to the birds to keep the cat population under control, difficult as this may be.
jeni This one is for you. Have you ever been in a position to ascertain whether it is male or female cats you are allergic to? The sex of the animal can make a huge difference. It is mostly the males that cause the allergies, this is also the case with dogs.
numberplease Re. pet insurance. Before you do please please read the small print. You may find that the very reason , for which you would take out insurance, ( reasons) are not covered at all.
Not too badly actually, he doesn`t think it`s constipation, says it`s more likely to be a stress thing. Gave him a jab, Depo-something, I asked about vaccinations, but he said to find out first if the cat rescue people had done them. They haven`t, so I`ll be making an appointment for that next. He struggled whilst he was being examined, but never moved a muscle when he had the jab, bless `im.
Off to the vet shortly with Pepper, didn`t expect to be visiting a vet so soon into our new relationship. Poor thing appears to be constipated, hasn`t "been" since Saturday afternoon, keeps trying though. Hope constipation`s all that`s wrong.
Shysal, I`ve just had a look at your cats, they`re gorgeous! The three Bengals are so sleek, they seem to be saying "look how beautiful we are". Pepper`s settling in fine, I`m pleasantly surprised. He`s eating OK, using the litter tray, and following me every time I get up!
I'd love to have a cat, I think they are the most beautiful, sensual creatures! Unfortunately, I have a very strong allergy to them! So I can't! Life is not fair!
Welcome to your new boy number, you have years of fun ahead of you, hope he will settle quickly. I look forward to seeing your photo. If you look at my profile you will see cat photos but none of me!
Two kittens were to have Hobbit names, Merry and Pippin, but the black one didn't look like a Pippin (?) and was named Samwise (Sam). Merry met his fate on the road, but Sam, a laid back cat if ever there was one, lived on with his new companion, Sandy, the ginger.
Our previous cats were, Smoky, Sherry, Patch, Bonnie and Trixie, none of which will suit a ginger boy. Thinking now of Brandy or Shandy, but still like Pushkin.
My first cat was called Stinky, because we overfed her and she had dreadful flatulence. She had one litter of kittens before we got her fixed, and kept one, which we called Little Pong.
My sister had a cat she called Euripides, because he was always ripping her tights with his claws (you rip o' dese tights one more time and you're dead)
Our last cat was Mao or Chairman Meeow to give him his full name.
