New cats!

Has anyone seen the pic of Palmerston, the new black cat belonging to the Foreign Office?He was a rescue cat, and is a very handsome boy.

Whoops! I pressed post instead of preview. Fill in in the typos yourself.

We got out cat when I was sharing a flat in bedsit land in what is now the very posh area of Crouch End.
We had mice in our flat so the landlord allowd us to get a lovely ginger kitten.
For about a week he hid at the back of the settee or if he was scared ran up the curtains or the wallpaper. He eventually settled in and became a lovely gentle friendly cat.
The frieds in the flat moved away and I had to move. I was left to find a home for the cat and happened upon a colleague who lived in a bedsit house which already had a cat. He took the cat. I had visiting rights and in the end "reader I married him." (not the cat)

Those cats have really settled into their new home- they are beautiful. Good luck to you once they start bringing home lunch and evening meals- that is the one thing I do not like and I am so pleased that Tara has now decided she is happy with the food that I provide.

I think they're beautiful. Such handsome cats.

What a lovely photo!

They are very silent and seem to materialise out of nowhere!!

They are lovely boys! Do they do that sort of "clicking" thing when looking at the birds?

I wish I was outside!!

Settling in very well but only when its just us, when family visited took refuge behind sofa!
Using litter tray and staring longingly at the little birdies outside!!

When I had kittens (not literally) I got them used to the litter tray by holding their little front paws and making a digging motion in the litter with them. They got the hang of it right away!

Not the joiners Wilma

They are a 2 man wrecking crew ! Coming up often for a cuddle.
Having a manic run around now! Am not quick enough to take pic!!

So did you have some male company last night grannylynn?

Its all in the eyes Wilma!
Unfortunately had the joiners in, so we are back behind the sofa!!

They are absolutely adorable grannylyn. I found brushing/grooming helped to create a bond. My cat was a bit standoffish at first but was soon following me everywhere...couldn't even go to the bathroom without him following me. They are very lucky wee cats. x

One is very affectionate, other one ☹️!

Yes, under spare room bed !. I have never come across such silent cats!!

Good idea about the savings account. We have 4 cats, and the cost of good insurance is huge.

Re drinking water, I believe many cats like their water bowl well away from their food, for some reason. We now have a water bowl separate, and another outside, as they like drinking rain water.

Hope you've found them now!

Now you are being tested by your young men grannylynn! How do you find black cat hiding in a dark place!

Thanks tiggy, another baffling question - how on earth can I lose a cat in a teeny tiny house??!!!

What a lovely story grannylyn and probably soon to be a threesome in bed no doubt !!
Some of you will remember my post of almost 2 yrs ago when Purdy Puss walked into my house (literally) as a kitten of about 10 weeks. At that time she would fit in the palm of my hand but certainly could not now. She has grown into a beautiful cat and as the vet said at the time 'she knew a mug when she saw one'. Love her to bits as you obviously do too with your boys grannylyn Totally agree with the savings account instead of insurance - Purdy has cost much less than £12 per month in vets fees (as did my pony when I had one)

Sounds like all is going well, loving the updates!

Look at that face! He's gorgeous!

That's a good tip Lupin

Lovely photo! Glad to hear you had company last night.
