Hello all,
Just thought I would pop my head in and say hello!
I don't know why I haven't thought of joining a cat forum before!
Pet wise.... it's cats for me!
We have two... Lola and Chewy :)
Both are Chinchilla crosses... Lola is the smaller silver and Chewy is the massive errrr ginger(ish) black! :D
They are both rescue cats :)

Me wise.... I'm Dave, 27 from Surrey and I am a Project Manager :)
Want to know anything more just ask :)

Hi Dave :welcome: to Purrs :) Lola and Chewy are lovely :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

Hi Dave - a very big Purrs Welcome to you, Chewy and Lola ;D :welcome: :welcome: What beautiful cats you have there, but I can't help thinking that's one mammoth session with a grooming comb :evillaugh:
How old are your babies and how did you come to share your home with them? Is Chewy named after Chewbacca by any chance? :Luv: You don't see many of their like in rescue (thank goodness!). Oh - by the way - we just love piccies of cats, and knowing all about the furbabes we share our lives with, so don't be shy of putting pics on the forum. :)

Hi Sue,
They are both 5 :)
Me and Charlotte (my human other half) have always wanted cats, my parents had a black and white so when we moved out we rescued these two.
And yes Chewy is after Chewbacca as when he runs for dinner he makes the Chewbacca noises :)
We groom them daily then seam to love it :briggin:
When we rescued them their fur was all matted and we had a devil of a job sorting it out.
They where rescued as their former owner moved abroad and also as soon as they are outside they bolted :( the former owner kept loosing them for days and weeks :(
But they are now all happy with us.
:Luv2:

Aw poor bairns - am so glad they were able to find a secind chance with you and Charlotte (hello Charlotte!). Grooming them would be such a good way to winning their trust, and it's fab that they let you do it and not only that, but that they enjoy it too. Paddy, our former glorious Golden Oldie (in me Avatar) was semi longhaired, but he never really liked being groomed all that much - which was fine when he was in his prime, but as he got older, became a bit of a worry, and resulted in many a matted piece of fur being scissored out in the trouser department. :-[
Do they come and go, or do you keep them as indoor cats? :) My stepdaughter's three legged cat moved to Spain with them when they moved out there - and made it back again when they returned back to the UK. He went on to live a further two years after that, finally letting go at the ripe old age of 18.
Five years old. So youthful. ;D They are a very beautiful duo, and you can be rightly proud of them.

They are indoor cat now as we are in a flat.
We give them a good run around the whole flat... those pesky toys keeps running away from them daily!
:evillaugh:
When it comes to grooming Lola will just sit there and let you, with a big smug face! ;D
Chewy will just lie there but he will let you know when he has had enough! with a look of Mum (or Dad) stop it... you are embarrassing me! :rofl:
Sounds like a good trip for your stepdaughters cat. A Spanish holiday :)

Hi Gill,
Thanks.
Chewbacca is the walking rug in Star Wars.
I will have a look around the site and find the bits. Just found you on Tapatalk :)
We love cats far too much and given more space we would rescue more and more! :)

Glad you've found us, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. It really is a very friendly forum with lots of friendly helpful advice, if ever needed, and of course lots of fun.
I do feel it my public duty to warn you though that it can be a teensy bit addictive :Crazy: You have been warned :evillaugh:
Two absolute beauties you have there :drool; :Luv: :blow kiss:
Just a quick point about tapatalk, not sure why but on the odd post it will miss of some of the post so you will just see

Glad you've found us

when the post is actually several paragraphs long! No reason it does this occasionally, seems completely random and a way round it (if you think part of the post may be missing!) is to tap 'quote' as though you were about to reply and you can then see the whole thing!

Is there a general chat section?

The bonus sections are only available to adult cats, as you can see by your avatar pic you are still a kitten at the moment :shify: The amount of posts from kitten to adult is a mystery figure so all I can say is get posting :wow: :pcprob:

Okie dokie, I'll start now!
