Finally decided I'm old enough to look after animals....

Okay, everybody, collective "AAaaaawwwww..."

So, what's its name and sex and how old? It's adorable but then I am quite a sucker for kittens

A/S/L?

Yay!!!! Kitty!

So how much did two-bit there pay for you. (We all know it's the cats that own people, not the other way around.)

Andy, that furry creature now has 32MB of memory? Isn't that what would be called vivisection??? I am (possibly!) shocked. It wasn't enough to experiment on the Empeg?

And I am sure that numerous members of the BBS including tfabris, pca, and number6 have chimed in on this point, but I just want to make sure.... you know cutie is going to turn into a *cat*, right?

I'm a cat person rather than a dog person, but my sister and husband are going take delivery of this Husky puppy in a month or so. They live just on the outside of the New Forest so long walks aren't a problem!

Just received this little cutie on Saturday.

He (we reckon) is about 7 1/2 weeks old and so far is utterly mad. He performs a perfect 4 wheel (paw, sorry) drift through the kitchen, falls off everything, sleeps anywhere and in general is brilliant fun. Was necessary to prevent SWMBO demanding a third child

Almost got him and our existing 14 year old cat to be friends - they eat at the same time without fighting, which is nice.

Am posting over slow dialup so thought I'd compress a bit - maybe over did it?

Think scale, instead of compress.

Dammit, I want my cat! Might see if I can pick her up a bit earlier.

I want your cat, too!

Cute cat!

Speaking of cats, this is mine.

I've always wondered how some people can have only one cat

Nothing to do with being trapped in the house with 2 mental Boxers then

Edit - Andy, any luck with getting my suggestion of "Dwain the Cat" accepted by SWMBO???

Cheers

Right, the thing about FIP is that it's very contagious, but whether a cat will succumb to it is a crap-shoot. From what I understand, though, a cat's chances of succumbing to it increase as the cat ages and the body's immune system doesn't work as well as it did when the cat was young. So for a run of a few cats, we've had a 100 percent mortality rate from FIP. One of the cats that died from it was young, the other two were old.

What made me upset is that the vet didn't tell us it was contagious until the third time. Sigh.

She's arrived, I'd post pictures but my digi-cam is probably being sold in a pub in Little Hulton right now. She asleep on the staircase.

I nearly brought home a kitten today.

Yesterday there was a grey one (approx 2 months old) wandering around outside our office - it was walking up and down mewing and trying to jump on the wall outside. I kept an eye one it (intending to fly downstairs and grab it if it started walking up the motorway embankment) but it disappeared.

Saw it again today wandering around and then later noticed some ladies from the office nearby holding a cat basket and looking down a narrow gap between the car park and the fence bordering the motorway embankment.

I went down and they said their arms were too short to grab it, so I layed down, jammed my head under the fence bar and tried to grab it. After we got a piece of cardboard to keep it from running towards the narrow part of the gap (where we would be in trouble!) I managed to get it. A bit of hissing and thrashing I managed to put it in the box and it was on it's way to the local RSPCA centre and the ladies were going to print some leaflets to post at local houses.

When we were over in Ireland in the summer we came across a tiny kitten. We'd just found Father Teds house and there was a farm nearby. I assume it must've been the offspring from the farm cats, I have to say i'd have grabbed it there and then if there had been a chance of getting it home safely.
