So tell me about cats?

[StrawberryFields]

Good to know BBB! I guess I'm worried because we'll have two newborns and I don't know how busy I'll be! I would hate to get another furbaby and not be able to give it enough love! I find dogs super easy to care for so I'm sure I would have no trouble with a cat, but I've never looked after babies for longer than a night and certainly not all of them together!

Maybe by November when the babies are a couple of months old we'll have a better idea - hopefully it will work out because I would love a kitty so much!

I would suggest contacting the RSPCA and asking them to look out for a cat that has a good, relaxed temperament, that will be good with kids/babies. They will be able to advise as they spend a lot of time with the cats and get to know their personalities.

Well, last night Daddy said NO to a kitten and Ds1 cried himself to sleep. But then Dh and I have a long talk and Dh said "Have a look around at some kittens."


So I went to the RSPCA today (even though Dh wanted a purebred cat) to have a look at some cats.










And came home with a gorgeous little boy
I just couldnt leave him, he was the last of his litter and he just stuck like glue to Ds3 and I, like he was meant for us! He's a domestic short hair (kind of black/white but the black is almost like tortoise shell pattern?) and he is 10wks old.

I think we'll be calling him Loki (Lo-key).

Awww, how cute

Though calling him Loki will likely result in a mischievous little rascal...

I think thats a given no matter what the name is lol especially with 3 partners in crime to help him along

Heheheheheheh, well yes there is that.

I want another kitten. But while we're renting still, it's a no go - so I studiously avoid pet-shops and the like, because I know if I come across a little black ball of fluff it'll wind up coming home with me. Mmmm, love black cats

heheh Freya!!! Cute huh! With ours... Oskar just wanted him and he made the perfect choice I think RSPCA cats seem to "know" that you are "saving" them I've had purebred and moggy cats and the moggies for me have been the best of them
