The Tail (sic) of Sprout

My friend's husband was very anti cat so she went out and bought a pair of siamese kittens. Within 2 days he was unable to leave his chair "In case he woke the little babies" who were all over his lap His life is still ruled by cats, although they must be on to the fourth generation by now!

glamma he is 15 months!

I must admit, although I very nearly got sidetracked by all the lovely cats and kittens that I saw at the Launceston branch of CPL, I went with my first instinct and chose Sprout ( I still feel that Oliver would suit him very nicely as a name!) and I'm convinced that I made the right choice!

He is a lovely, affectionate, friendly chap and hasn't pushed his luck with Digby, even though I can tell that Sprout would very much like to be really good friends.

Mr P fell for him very quickly, even though I hadn't exactly told him that we had a new furry occupant. How do I know? When Mr P came upstairs on Saturday morning with a cup of tea for me, and he had Sprout under one arm, plonking him on the bed saying "now, you just sit there while I have a shave, and then we can play ball again"

Charleygirl I think you may be only too right about the "takeaways", unfortunately I know it's in their nature, but i still wish they wouldn't, especially the birds.

He sounds delightful Phoenix...my DD's cat, Sprout, has a very long tail which he delights in swishing about. He has calmed down now that he is older and loves to curl up with his tail wrapped around him. Although he does love to plonk himself down on any visitor with a look that says: 'just try and move me!'

Wait until he is allowed out, you may be overwhelmed with takeaways. He sounds delightful.

Is he a young cat phoenix maybe he is having a case of "the terrible two's" he sounds adorable though.

He's a messy eater, Aka !

Intrigued by what you have left 'for now'

Nothing is more fun than a new pet, Phoenix.
