this is the route
http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/index.jsp#
Does anyone know any of the route after Bristol, can you tell me what the journey is like and traffic.
-
The link just shows me a big map....
-
Thanks grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........I wonder how I can get a bloomin link
-
WHY do you HAVE to come up North?
Anything to do with another Birman by any chance? ;) Where are you going? :shify:
Mary
-
Yes Yes. Newcastle..........all on A team thread and pic ;D
-
I hope this gives a link
http://mapq.st/m0gaJH
Looks promising!
Once its loaded if you click on the plus sign it will enlarge and you can see my nightmare!
-
I went down the m5 m4 for part the other week and it wasnt too bad. The m42 is also fairly clear most of the time as it has varying speed limits.
Dont know about the rest though.
Good luck
love

-
Birmingham to Leeds was clear when I went to see client last week .....
-
I can't believe you are doing it in one day, do you really not have anyone you can trust with the cats - you will be exhausted
-
That's a lot of driving in one day, Gill.
I used to use the A1/A1(M) a lot and always found it fine although it does get very busy. A lot of it is only 2 lanes and a lot of lorries use it. Not used it for a while as last time I visited my mum I used the A19 instead.
-
Yes afraid I dont know anyone round here and cats are the most unloved by people.
Thank you for your replies, I have driven to Birmingham before bit about 4 yrs ago so the route onwards is completely new to me and maybe good news then Rosella.
Yes I think I will be exhausted after doing just one way but will just stop and sleep if I have to.
Also of course I dont know how Storm will be travelling so far cos most he has done before was 20 mins as a kitten, just hope he doesnt sing!
-
Exciting stuff Gill. Hope it all works out. I'll get speak to OH when he gets back. He drives up as far as Nottingham from Bristol so would have some idea. I think he may be even going to Nottingham tomorrow.
-
Thanks cazzer and have just spoken to someone who knows the route from Birmingham to the end, so very kind but am sorted now :hug: :hug:
Thinking about a sat nav but will it try to send me the wrong way :rofl: :rofl:
-
Ohhhhh Gill, is this for a kitty???
-
Yes Zoe, a 10 1/2 month birman, unneuetered grrrrrrrrrrr, seal point boy called Storm.
He looks lovely and hope he is .
Will be neutered as soon as poss after arriving.
-
Ohhh Gill, i am so happy for you
Ollie sends headbutts and purrs xx
-
Thank you to Ollie and you and hope it works out
-
Oooh how exciting:) Where did you find him?
-
He is just outside Newcastle..................or in the preloved ads LOL
Only place I can look for birmans outside of a kitten from a breeder.
-
I have to go down south :evillaugh:
bought another bike off of ebay = 826 mile round trip :tired: :doh:
-
I suppose I never think of Manchester as south but for you it definitely is lol!
-
just a bit :evillaugh:
-
Well manchester isnt south its just 'home' crewe however is south ;)
Hope all journeys go well
love
tab
-
Hope your journey went well Gill :)
Mine did ;) although my backside is now a bit Raw :doh:
got home around 8, would have been home about 5 hr's earlier, but decided to pop in and see
a friend of mine that I have been talking to on the internet for the past 2 years( no not a gurl, a Bloke :evillaugh: )
he manages and runs the game server for us, so that was good, it did mean a little detour, but then I just thought
I might never be down this way ever again
the bike is running like a Dream :naughty:
only annoying thing was, there were no seats left = fully booked @ £109 a head, luckily there were a couple of cabins
left so I ended up having to fork out £164 for that 1 way single from Aberdeen - Crewe
what a rip off >:(
how much for riding the bike home I hear you say ??
a grand total of £45:80 and I still have half a tank left
Ok, bed time now and some well deserved rest for my Bun's :evillaugh:
-
I dont go until the 30th Stuart but am pleased your journey went well and mine will be seriously more expensive.
Need to get car cleaned and Mr Ford looked at it yesterday so springs OK and have loads of rubber on tyres trying not to think about it at present........sigh
-
oops :doh:
-
Gill that is a lot of driving in one day, have you thought about stopping over ?, I drive a lot daily and I am not sure I could do that journey in one hit, you need to be very careful as you get tired and you dont realise it, take care and cant wait to see the pics of the new addition.
-
Thanks Clare, have to say I am very worried about it but need to get back asap cos of Ducha cos he cant eat biscuits without being sick and the wet food dries up or gets eaten by the moggies.
I feel he is fading away and as birmans are, he is so stuborn!
If I become overwhelmingly tired I will be forced to stop but am hoping to do the journey all in the daylight cos its a long journey for the little boy too.
Will be stopping a lot at sevice stations and just hope its not tooooooo hot but dont need cold or rain either LOL
-
Gill just a thought but what about an automatic food dispenser? You can put ice cubes in them to keep the food fresh. It does sound like one hell of a journey
-
Yes I will be using those but the air still gets in and that affects the food.
I am being loaned two which I collect on Tuesday so apart from them being digital, I am not sure what they are like.......mine are very very old and all shot up.
Thanks cazzer
-
your doing the journey all in one day :shocked: I didn't realise :doh:
is there no one to look after Ducha for one night ???
or couldn't the people meet you half way ??
:scared:
-
No on boths counts Stuart :(
-
:(
-
A possible option has opened from a very kind Angel but wont know till Monday whethere its a runner :shify: :shify:
-
Sadly not a runner cos it will add 4hrs or more to my journey and just want to thank the generous Angel who offered to drive me the last part of the journey but sadly the start point was on the wrong side of country.
Such a wonderful offer, thank you so much :hug: :hug:
-
I'm really pleased that you've found the right cat for you BUT....
Attempting to drive there and back in one day on your own is really not safe :shy: :hug: The return journey is long enough as it is but what if you get lost, there are roadworks etc etc
If the cats at home can be left for 24 hours why don't you consider setting off at midday to get there early evening, find somewhere to have something to eat, go and collect him and then check into a travel lodge (which allow pets). Set off early morning to arrive back home for midday-ish.
-
at the risk of upsetting Gill I have told her by pm what I suspect most of you have been thinking - that at her age and her state of health driving from West Wales to Newcastle and back on her own without stopping, and with a young cat who she knows nothing about on the return journey, is more than unsafe
the answer I think is to book a professional animal transporter to bring this little lad to her door, and to hell with the cost
-
I cant leave Ducha for 24hrs, thats the problem, he has hardly eaten today as it is.
I have to meet the cat before I decide whether to take it cos the angel did offer to go get him for me and bring part way back.
-
could a catsitter come in and feed ducha?
-
Gill
I have been following this post and I am so so worried for you driving that far and back in one day.
Is there is any alternative - I looked at plane and train routes but they do not seem possible.
- Could a transport run to be set up to get the cat to you - Are you really going to go all that way and then not take him? If someone you know from Purrs was the 1st pick up they could do all the necessary checks you may like.
- If a transport run could not be arranged, perhaps as someone has suggested an animal transporter. I would be more than happy to contribute towards any costs.
- The other alternative is to leave the cats for 24 hours - get up to newcastle, stay in a hotel and come back the next day - maybe you could go by train and a transport run could bring you back - that way you are able to look after the cat on the journey. Although I understand your reluctance because of the cats at home. Again I would help with any costs
So worried about you driving so far as you can see from this thread are others - can we look at alternatives to you driving up and back in one day - please :hug:
-
Thank you all for being so concerned but I really want to see the cat and if he is not as described to me or not seemimgly healthy, I will not be bringing him back but there is a back up position already set up.
The breeder of Lupinbud(Strorm) has a 13 week old kitten and she lives 20 mins from owner and has said that I can have him as he cannot be used for breeding or showing.
I do not know anyone who could feed Ducha cos it would not be just trying to find one at this late point but also that they would need to come in frequently and that would scare my two moggies cos they hate people.
My route is well planned, someone has kindly done that for me and the offer of help I so kindly had was from the west, manchester way which is why I was forced to turn it down and they were willing for me to leave my car at theirs and then drive me up to get the cat and drive me back again.
The sad part was that it would add about 4 hours to my journey and that made it a non-runner.
My journey is m4, m5, round birminham on the east side and then M1/A1(M) all the way to south of Newcastle and if anyone along the route NE of Birmingham could drive me to Newcastle and back and is happy to use the route all motorways then I would consider that. :innocent:
The essence of the journey is as fast as possible ;) ;), safety,stopping for loo stops often LOL, and for me to stay awake and eat.
I am not going to take risks but this is my one and only shot of getting a very young adult cat with papers as the breeder is going to do me a new set as owner says she doesnt have them.
I dont have any trains near me and I cant balance on a moving platform like a train so would not be able to get to the loo, but the journey would be long and tortureous with too much walking, carrying and changes with probs parking cos I would have to drive to at least Swansea and parking is a nightmare...........actually its not even a runner cos could not get close to where the owner lives.
This has all been well thought through and driving is the only option.
-
My journey is m4, m5, round birminham on the east side and then M1/A1(M) all the way to south of Newcastle and if anyone along the route NE of Birmingham could drive me to Newcastle and back and is happy to use the route all motorways then I would consider that. :innocent:
If any peeps could help by driving you from NE Birmingham to Newcastle that would be a good option Gill :hug:
PS Sorry and back again :hug:.
-
How about you drive up M6, leave car at Lymm interchange (M6/M56 and can be accessed both north and southbound but you would need to check how much it would cost as most only give you 2 hours free) and then change over and I will do M6 - M62 - M1. It says it will be 7hrs 11 on googlemaps (can't get the other one to work). The route you were going originally on googlemaps will be 6hrs 28 so it isn't much different. I've asked at work - the time for me to get to Newcastle should only be 2.5 hours (depending on traffic).
Something to think about.
-
Thanks Karen, will try and pm you the links from AA......dont know if it will work
-
is there an option of overnighting said cat or do you need to go to fetch gill?
I would be happy to act as a meeting place/swap over place if it will help though now I am working, my availability to transport is restricted. CV5 9FD - handy for M6, M1, M42 and M40 in that order.
-
Bear in mind that google maps tend to underestimate the journey time. I travelled to nuneaton recently and whilst I just about did it in the time they said, it was on a saturday morning with light traffic and I exceeded the speed limit considerably!
-
Gill I find it a bit upsetting that if Storm is not right for you you would consider a kitten after not coping with the adults and Leonie earlier this year and with Ducha needing such attention = a kitten requires more than attention that an youngish cat so I hope you are thinking with your head and not what your heart desires, its a very long journey even with folks helping if its not right
-
Angie, thanks but I need to go and get the cat but thanks very much for the offer. I also have the offer of stop of point closer to home off M5 but am hoping with Karen doing the driving from M6 to Newcastle and back that will allow me to get all way back home.
I think Karen (sootyca) and I have it sorted now, well my email only just sent cos internet speed dropped to nil.....sigh.
Karen used Google and I have used AA and am hoping the AA timing is about right, certainly is to birmingham but of course stops and traffic affect everything.
It was Leonie who was the problem Liz, but didnt know that till she got to Lau. Also her age was a lot older than the vet here believed or the vet at Laus end, she is just a very small cat. She is great with people but a firey hisspot with other cats, although she is now in love with Jonny at Laus. She is very possive of a room and thinks that if she is in a room it belongs to her and nobody else.
My head and heart wants Lupinbud but that depends if he is as described and not looking like he is unhealthy............its a big unknown, hence the other option.
Obviously like anyone else I have no idea how my cats will react but thats another reason to get a birman, which have the right characteristics to stand a chance with my cats and the reason that I wanted to be sure that he had papers and was a full pedigree birman as I know the kitten is too.
I have done so much work on this to be as sure as I could it was worth making the journey.
Vet appointment booked for Friday and hope he can be neutered on Monday, dont think they would do it on Sat.
-
Hope you have Feliway plugged in a some Zylkene and rescue remedy to help all with the transition and that you have a nice isolation area for the new boy so yours still feel safe in their home
-
Gill , i know how much you worry about Ducha , but please condsider this. He would survive quite easily for 24 hrs on his own. He might not like it and you may worry like hell , but if he was shut in , he would survive. How long he would last if you were suddenly not here anymore is another matter. Amd a drive of 14 hours+ with no decent rest puts you at a very high risk of not being here any more. :(
I know how important Storm , and all your other cats are to you and I fully sympathise , but they depend on you and you MUST take car of yourself first and foremost. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I will be fine Kirst and if I am forced to stop I will but hoping to be home around 2100 ;D
-
what a very kind offer from Karen -I'm sure it will make a huge difference - lets hope he doesn't sing all the way
-
Karen is my angel and yes I hope he doesnt sing all the way too lol, Both Ducha and Napoleon were singers and Ducha could keep it up for 25 miles non-stop.........sigh
-
You're the Angel of the North Karen :hug: How appropriate!
-
I've been called many things but never an angel! Anyway, it's not what comes out of the front end that worries me. It's the other side if he's as bad a traveller as my Robbie....... :sick:
It's still going to be a long journey for Gill but will be easier if you don't have to drive the whole journey yourself. Just hope the traffic and weather is kind.
-
I do hope he is a good travellor!
He comes with a covered litter tray as one of his wordly possesions plus two metal bowls!
Not a toy or anything :(
-
He's doing better than Stevie then , ha came with just his name. Even the vets details I was given were false :(
-
Karen, you really are an angel. Don't you doubt it. ;) :hug:
-
I hope for your sake he's a good traveller too! ;D I collected Mosi from Stoke on Trent and it should have been little over an hour in the car but I got stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway and it took about 3 hours. The little :censored: made his feelings known all the way.
-
He's doing better than Stevie then , ha came with just his name. Even the vets details I was given were false :(
No false vet details here............sigh.............he hasnt been registered at a vets!!
He would have been by his breeder cos he is jabbed up to date but the owner claims not to have the vaccination card, or any other papers cept the red slip!
If he shouts that wont be as bad as him getting very scared but at least for a couple of hours he can sit with me and hope that will get him sorted for the rest of the journey.
Now have two carriers in case he gets in a mess.
-
Good luck Gill, take an air freshener for the car :rofl:, JO Ripley was abolsultely fine, he didnt make a sound and slept for the whole 3 hour journey. Kenny on the other hand did a wee before we were even on the motorway, stopped and cleaned that up, he then did a poo which he then fell over in and I had to stop and clean that and him up , he then decided to sing to me the whole rest of the 2.5 hours.
-
Thanks Claire, will put that on my list LOL...........hadnt thought about how to get rid of niffs :innocent:
Off out to get a few things and get car cleaned but it looks like rain grrrrrrrrrrrrr
-
Now have two carriers in case he gets in a mess.
We brought two carriers to collect Noni Gill in case of mishaps. OK so only 1.5 hours or so but I hope with all my heart that your young fella is half as good in the car.
OH drove back and I sat in back with her in car. She cried in carrier pitifully for about 5 mins so I let her out to look out the window for 5 mins which she rather liked then, after eating her chicken picnic supplied by JS, she curled up on my lap and fell asleep for the rest of the trip :)
I do so hope your young fella imitates Noni rather than Kenny :shocked: ;)
-
good luck with everything tomorrow!!
-
After all this I hope he is the right cat for you
Just to add that transferring a strange cat from carrier to carrier is not worth the danger they can be in from the car or scary new humans they will be in a strange place with folks they don't know keep , suggestion is vet bed and puppy pads easily pulled out if done carefully in layers
Place cat box on puppy pads makes any messes cleaned up easily from upholstery and keep windows closed cats will if scared get out the smallest gap this includes a sun roof
-
Gill, am not sure what time you're setting off tomorrow, but just wanted to say will be thinking of you, and sending lots of "smooth journey" vibes your way. :hug: :hug: Don't forget the mobile number for OH just in case you need any guidance.
Liz - brilliant idea about the puppy pads. :wow: I'll file that away for when we next cat carry - Paddy used to be accident prone on the shortest of journeys as he hated being in a car. That would've made things so much simpler. He was better if he wasn't shut in the cat box, and was sat on someone's knee instead, but it always worried me in case he took off round the car :doh:
Rosella - Noni truly was a star on her maiden voyage, bless her. :Luv:
-
Thank you all.
I am leaving at 0600 and hope to be meeting Karen around 1000ish but suspect it will be later but hope not too much.
Yes am currently writing down phone numbers and route.
Have finally heard from the owner so all nearly ready to go ;D
-
Good luck Gill ;D Don't envy you the drive - but you know what I'm like about driving, pootle down the road is enough to give me palpitations lol!
-
:rofl: :rofl:
-
Wishing you a safe and smooth journey for tomorrow Gill :hug: :hug:
All the cats I have helped transport have settled down within a short while - so hoping the same for you tomorrow.
-
Hope you have a good journey tomorrow and that Storm is the cat for you :hug:
-
:thanks:
Hunting for car insurance............panic panic flap flap!
-
good luck tomorrow :hug: x
-
Good luck! Hope the journey goes well and he is the right cat for you ;D
-
:thanks: and signing off tonight ;D
-
Hope it all goes smoothly for you today, I'm sure it will ;)
-
Safe journey today Gill and hope everything runs smoothly and the cat of your dreams awaits x
-
Am hoping the largest part of the journey will be about done by now (roadworks and the occasional wrong turnings permitting) and they'll be on the final stretch. Sending more positive journey thoughts, and that Storm will be just the ticket. ;)
-
Gah - wanted to post on here this morning but didn't get time. Hope the journey goes well. :hug:
-
Hope the journey is going well and he is the right kitty cat for you. :hug:
-
Hoping you are well on the way back now , with Storm xxx
-
was just thinking the same Kirst, she must be knackered!
-
Am hoping the largest part of the journey will be about done by now (roadworks and the occasional wrong turnings permitting) and they'll be on the final stretch. Sending more positive journey thoughts, and that Storm will be just the ticket. ;)
Lol! We hadn't even met up at that time! Didn't leave Lymm until just after 12 so it was quite a bit later than we planned.
Needless to say, Gill is not going to be home by 9pm. I left her trying to get some sleep at the service station before she tackles the rest of the journey back. With stops it took about 3hrs 30 to get up there and about 4hrs coming back but the stops we had were longer.
I'm sure Gill will take it easy on the way back. I don't think it worked out as quick as I thought it was going to be but likewise I don't think Gill would have managed the whole journey (there and back) in a day on her own.
As for the rest.....well, that's up to Gill to update :P
-
Karen, am just relieved to see you made it up there and you made it back - and now on tenterhooks until Gill posts. :evillaugh: :hug: :hug:
-
I don't think she'll be on tonight. She was hoping to stay at the Travelodge for a few hours sleep at the services but it was full so was making the best of it in the car.
On the positive side, the traffic was fairly quiet so if it stays that way and she takes the remaining journey easy she will be home okay. On the downside she'll now be doing the last part of the journey in the dark.
-
Hope you're on the home straights now Gill, or better still, at home and settling in a lovely new addition to your furry family. :hug:
-
Hopefully the little one will be velcroed to you by now :hug:
Mary
-
Blimey. Hope you got a bit of sleep Gill.
-
Hope you are home safe Gill and with a lovely new addition to your family xxx
-
Gill hope all went well :hug:
-
Gill, hoping all went well and that you're home safe and sound - if you are, and you're all tuckered out, then I hope you manage to have a decent bit of sleep cos sounds like you need it. :hug: :hug:
-
Ditto to what everyone else has said. Can't wait to find out how it went and whether little Storm is now with you!
-
Cant wait to find out news, hope you got some sleep Gill and are now home safely x
-
Hope you are back home safe and sound Gill and have managed to get some sleep. I also hope you have a Birman with you who I, along with everyone else on the forum, can't wait to meet.
-
same as everyone else really - just wanting to know what happened!!!!!!!!!!
-
:allears:
-
Exciting this isn't it :scared: ;)
-
am hopping from foot to foot....... Must be like the olden days when everyone huddled round the wireless set with their Ovaltine, waiting for Mrs Dale's Diary to start :evillaugh:
-
am trying to write my dissertation, but I write for 10 minutes or so then check on here.... :naughty:
when she does post, it had better be with pictures! :rofl:
-
I fear we have a long wait yet ladies. Gill doesn't surface until around lunchtime on a normal day so after yesterday's exertions she'll probably give today a miss altogether and wake up some time during the early hours of tomorrow. :rofl:
-
as long as she isn't still asleep at the services
-
but surely she has got to be up soon for the tennis?
(and to provide us with an update and photos :rofl:)
now can't do any of my uni work anyway as have 2 cats sitting on my books and on my notes :evillaugh:
-
But if she has a new addition she will have to get up!
-
yay!!!!!!! title changed
-
oooo oooooo ooooo....the title has changed!
I bet she is laffin at us :rofl:
-
Lupin? hmmmmm....... :sneaky:
-
:rofl: Actually I'm more than a little relieved as was beginning to worry.
-
Oi Gill, come back and tell us more hahaaaaa :naughty:
-
She's messing with our minds now :Crazy:
-
she is watching this thread and laffin at us, I tell you! either that or distracted by the tennis...or Lupin (which seems more likely)
-
Yes up for Tennis lol but have vets visit in a few hours..............snoreeeeeeeeeeeee
It was an epic journey and Sue you were so off target lol, I took a wrong turning off motorway just out side Birmingham.............blooming lorries blocking the signs and was trying to take a service break. That lost me over an hour cos just couldnt find my way back onto M6 going North and went South twice!
I was so bloomin late Karen had to leave Lymm service area cos she had been there two hours..........two hours just isnt long enough befor they charge £15!!!!!!!!!!!! to stay longer.
Sadly my stomach was reall causing me problems the whole journey and today its very very sore and have broken out in cold sores all of my uppere lip and some below too.............sigh..........havever been this bad before.
Ummmmmmmmmm what was it i was going to say......so tired.
Oh yes Lupin is home ;D ;D
He was such a wonderfully good boy in the car, not a peep or a niff, he ate a load of biscuits while I was sleeping in the car and he has been looked after so well.
He is really handsome and once out of the carrier at home.............we arrived at 0430!........he was wide awake and investigating everything, he is a climber and likes tp play................I just wanted to sleep! He has had loads of sleep lol.
Right now I am the most hated human cos he very quickly found the door was closed and he does not like closed doors. He has never been outside in his life and today that door is causing loads of problems.
He has used his covered tray , he does not l;ike me touching his tummy and hisses and tries to bite!
I was told he doesnt howl but he does and is as loud as Napoleon, I dont think I am flavour of the day yet and he wont cuddle but it will come, he is currently flaked out on the cat tree.
He has climbed everything he can and half way up one of the book cases, he is not safe to be left alone and I am having probs getting in and out of the door..........another touch of Napoleon.
He has a lot of growing to do in the next two years before he becomes a full size adult but he is just muscle and young and adorable.
He looks quite different to Napoleon except they are both seal points and his white paws are not perfect so could not be shown but I love him ;D
Fraid pictures will have to wait as I am just so tired and all I want to do is sleep, getting two or three hours at a stretch before I am woken up by a howl.
We both need to adjust and get over the journey and also the other three, who luckily know I always come home.
I just have that feeling Lupin is not going to like going back in the carrier to go to the vets!!
I must say that without Karen the journey would have been even harder and she is a star. It took me exactly 5 hours to come back from Lymm, roads were good and no rain............Karen will understand that LOL
Thank you all for your interest and concern , I do appreciate it. ;D ;D
I guess there will loads more stories about Lupin............he was called Storm and now know why and his owner said a friend also called him Thunder and understand that too. :rofl: :rofl:
Reason for him being given up was he was being chased by her son and he did not like that but he clearly loved her and his home. Na[poleon and Ducha also came to me for the same reason, cept it was dogs.
I need to sleep some more!
-
:evillaugh: Gillie - you is home!!! :wow: :wow: ;D :cuddle: and you got your lil bundle of hiss and spit and grumble too, I see :evillaugh:
Am so pleased everything went alright - you did sooooo well - it was really an epic journey, and we were all rooting for you. Not surprised your tum was playing up and you've got cold sores - that'll be the stress you were feeling about the driving. :hug:
Sounds like he was well worth it. Can't wait to hear more :)
-
:omg: :omg: 0430! Poor you! I hope you get to catch up on sleep today and I hope you feel better soon :hug:
I am sure Lupin will make it all worth while as he settles down
try and have a relaxing couple of days and then I will start demanding pictures :rofl:
-
but I love him ;D
That's all I needed to hear ;D I am so very pleased for you and Lupin and hope you have many happy years together :hug:
-
great to hear he is a good boy, at least you have a quiet weekend of tennis ahead to look forward to - hope you get some more sleep soon
-
Well, the Murray match is on this afternoon, so might not be that quiet.... ;) Wonder if Lupin is a tennis fan? :)
-
tbh it would be all I need to send me to sleep 22 hours on the road or not :naughty:
-
We have to be at vets at 1720 so think we are going to miss a lot of tennis and its on now but just want to sleep, just gonna turn it down............Lupin has no interest in TV unless he is standing on top!
-
Am so pleased you are home safe and with a lovely new addition. Lupin sounds fabulous and I hope he will soon settle in and you have many happy years together :Luv: Hope the vet visit goes ok and that you get lots of rest over the weekend and feel much better - then we can have piccies :rofl:
Lots of :hug: :hug: to you and Lupin :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
So Glad Your Home Gill :)
and can't wait for the piccys of Lupin, He sounds a character :Luv: :sneaky:
:hug: :hug:
-
Am so glad you are home safely even though it was a lot later than expected.
I can vouch for how gorgeous and well mannered he was in the car. I was tempted to drive off with him when Gill went into one of the service stations. :rofl:
Cuddling will come soon - his whole world has been turned upside down and it will just be a case of him getting used to his new home.

So pleased you're both home safe and sound ;D I think Karen will always be known as the Angel of the North from now on (in my head at least :evillaugh:) :)
-
Looking forward to piccies ;)
-
So glad you are both safely home and Lupin sounds like a real treasure. I'm sure all will soon settle down and life will really begin for that lucky little man.
Congratulations :Luv:
-
Glad you got home safely and I can't wait to hear more about little Lupin! ;D
-
How did Daffodil (oops, sorry I mean Lupin) :naughty: :Luv2: :hug: get on at the vet Gill?
Hope you've got somet for your own stomache and lip too. He doesn't want a poorly mum.
Glad the other 3 were ok while you were away :Luv2: :hug:
I still can't believe the woman who didn't like cats about 6 years ago has gone to all this effort to have yet another cat in her life. :wow: :Luv2: :hug:
Mary
-
omg what an epic journey. hope you get to enjoy a long sleep. Looking forward to hearing more about Lupin
-
Lupin is very determined to do just as he wants and had Gareth twisted round his paws LOL
He is in excellent condition and everything about him is good says Gareth ;D
Lupin decided to explore the surgury and checked ever aspect of it including lying in the sink :rofl: :rofl:
Gareth is a treasure and coming specially on Monday to neuter Lupin, its his week off!
I must remember to make sure that he is chipped too cos the price seems a little low for both and today was at no charge.
Lupin also showed Gareth how well he can hiss and again he has a fixation about closed doors.
All that saw him loved him and Gareth still loves Napoleon and think he will always remember him, like me. Hugely affectionate and loving and such a regal cat.
Little Lupin has a lot to live up to but am sure he will get there ;D
Oh yes and he came and cuddled me before we went out and I know he is up to no good cos he came and snuggled in my hair when we got back and he is lying on the back of the sofa watching the door!
-
Lupin sounds as though he is quite a character, love the way he checked out the vets facilities :evillaugh: He sounds like a loving little chap and no doubt is enjoying the cuddles every bit as much as you :)
-
He is fast asleep on top of sofa back but every so often he lets at a strangled mrreowwww, I reckon he is dreaming ;D
He is so handsome ;D
-
Oooo photos, photos, photos ;)
He sounds wonderful. Am guessing all the others were OK when you were away Gill.
Callie is asking how her mama Sasa is? :rofl:
-
Sasa is outside as usual and missing, probably in the greenhouse cos have left the door open enought for her and Misa to get in.
Ducha is upset cos I havent been in bed yet but right now am worried what Lupin will get up to if I am not watching him and all want access to behind the door!
I have just been a Lupin catbed for a while , he rolled off the back of sofa and had his head under my chin :wow:
Think yesterday has caught up with him , he is so tired. but now he is giving mrrrrreows and wandering about and using scratch post.
-
Gill he sounds gorgeous :Luv:
So glad all went well in check up ;D
-
Lupin sounds a character. :) :hug:
-
Congratulations babe, and welcome to your wonderful new home Lupin :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: :Luv2: Sounds like he's settling in quite well Gill for the first few hours, doesn't it? Snuggles, chat and exploration - proper job. Hey Gill - just thought - you got your very own Geordie rabble rouser :rofl:
-
Lupin sounds like a right little character! How old is he?
-
He sounds fab Gill, a proper feisty Geordie lad! They breed us tough up here you know Lol x
-
If all geordies are like him I hold my head in horror LOL
Maybe geordie birmans are worse than any others.........sigh
I have just spent 90 mins trying to get into the front room cos while I was out doing trays and food on the other side of the door he has done what it took Napoleon a few days to do!
He had scratched the carpet up behind the door and I could not get in, especially with him trying to get out at the same time!
Used the second carrier and he managed to squeeze thro into thew carrier where he has been jailed!
I need to empty the book case I pushed out with a blooming crowbar to get the carpet flat again. I have put hardboard under the door so think he cant do it again but now door is very hard to open. Every cat in the hoiuse knows he is hear cos you can hear him howling from bedroom and kitchen and now I am trapped in here lol.
Before all this I had to drop everything cos he climbed to where my cat things are and was standing among the ornaments..................panic panic.
I need to eat, I havent eaten a meal for a day and a half.
He has just found the end of the tin of Felix and had to stop him sticking his head in!
Ok how much does a 10 1/2 month cat eat? Thats the age Susanne LOL.
I also need to get out cos have closed the doors to study and utility rooms so if he escaped he could go upstairs and cause chaos.........Sasa and Ducha are both in bedroom and Misa is in the kitchen........no in the shed cos I had to go get the crowbar......sigh
Yes he is a character and moving in far to quickly lol................who is gonna be top cat I wonder :shocked:
I think I need saving!!
-
OMG he is quiet ........wot is he upto LOL
On back of sofa watching the door.............I stand no chance of getting out.
Last time I went out he nearly made it and was on the window sill.
Hulppppppppppppppppppppp!
-
good luck Gill!!
-
That's about the same age as Callie & Monty. They have 2 sachets of Whiskas each per day plus a dish of Purina1 biscuits and some bits of chicken or fish or whatever we have but they are not particularly big kitties. We split it into 3 meals.
You have to take care of yourself too Gill. You won't do yourself any favours not eating and getting sick sweetie x He will be just fine. Give him a dish of food and nip out while he is eating and prepare yourself something. Leave him in the dark and quiet for a bit as he will need to learn you won't be there 24/7!
-
Soudn words from our Souffle. :hug: Otherwise we'll have to helicopter drop meals and provisions in for you ;) :evillaugh: Aye, that's the Geordies for you - not there 5 minutes and you were wishing they were somwhere else! :rofl: :hug: :hug: Make sure you get something to eat today Gill - a proper meal, not just a snack. He'll let you know if his hunger gets too big for a growing oy, you can be sure of it!
-
10 1/2 month cats are called kittens, Gill :naughty: Get some blu tack on them ornaments!
-
Think I need to move this to the general Cat Chat area LOL
Ummmmmmmm birmans are a bit different to other cats in that they make themselves very well heard when they are not happy, wanting something or are just plain fed up! And for a cat kitten who apparently did not have a birman howl, he definately is not happy about being in the front room and his howling is blood curdling whether I am in there or not, I guess its worse if I am not.
He just hates that closed door and my carpet is in lumps and bumps and right now he is telling me what he wants and lying behind the door.
Didnt get dinner last night cos fell asleep to be woken by the howling LOL
Being he is a kitten he has so much energy and I think this room isnt big enough cos of all the things in it, Leonie was a happy bunny in here and even with the door on the crack she didnt want to go out. He is also ponging out wherever he is cos he is using the tray well. Funny thouigh cos his urine doesnt smaell like a thomas.
He is on window sill now cos have opewned the blinds and he just tried to catch a bird that was flying past in the distance.
He loves to play and think I will get him a cube. although that takes more floor space.
He learns fast which is another birman thing, except his name NOOOOOOOOOO Lupin :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
He spent last night in the bedroom cos was making too much noise down stairs and that worked well.
I was told he ate kitecat and go cat but doesnt seem to like either and I bought a tin of felix by mistake and he loved that, or wwas it the flavour....tuna and something LOL.
Although small he is very long and is only about 6 inches from the door handle and tries his best to get there. He could be Bertrum thumb cat the way he tries to grab things, thank goodness no thumbs!
Right moving ands retitling this thread LOL
-
Ummmmmmmm birmans are a bit different to other cats in that they make themselves very well heard when they are not happy
Oh that's not just birmans - Mosi's yelling when he wants something could wake the dead. He'll be confused as he's in a strange place and isn't used to being confined in one room. Plus he's a kitten (have you ever had one of them, Gill? :evillaugh:). Brace yourself! He sounds adorable and I think he's already got you wrapped around his paw. The others are right though - don't forget to look after yourself. Little Lupin will survive without constant attention even if he's not happy about it.
-
Please can we have some Lupin piccies :wow:
He sounds such a character :evillaugh:
-
Piccies will come I promise but getting use to him and him to me is a bit hard right now, and am worried about Misa and Sasa being shut at the back of the house.
About an hour ago I had to let Lupin roam the front of the house and upstairs, I think his old home had an upstairs but he didnt seem used to stairs............that has changed lol.
It hasnt stopped him howling though! He is as loud or louder than Napoleon :shocked:
He has slept most of the afternoon which was blissful and he looked so sweet.
I am hoping going up and down stairs will tire him out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#
He hates kitekat and not keen on go cat so have changed him to felix which he gobbles, not sure what biscuits , I want a kitten one.
Need to go upstairs and find out what continuous howling means...............if anything!
-
I stopped the kitten food at about 6 months and Callie & monty prefer the adult food by far. I think he is big enough for the larger bits and may find the teeny kitten biscuits a bit of a trial. They are a lot dearer too.
He will settle and quieten down I'm sure and then he can meet the others :) They must be finding the newbie smell strange!
-
Thanks souflee, will try and find an adult biscuit he fancies, he is eating adult wet food but has no interest in the adult biscuits I have.
Yes Misa and Sasa are worried, Sasa especially cos she refused to come and eat her food and I had to take it too her.
Lupin has met Ducha and Ducha is OK except when Lupin paws at his tail, I think Lupin is used to being in charge of a kitten and knows that Ducha is no Kitten. Ducha slept on the bed with me as usual last night and Lupin was under the bed I think. The door was shut which I am sure Misa and Sasa knew but I need to go slower with them.
Lupin likes lying in the bath LOL and a really big thing he came when he was called..............maybe he saw a packet of food in my hand ,,,,,,,,,no he couldnt see it so came when called ;D ;D
Lupin is so different from Leonie, who was so much better behaved :innocent:
-
Lovely to read the updates on naughty Lupin, he sounds like a bit of a handful!
When does he go for his snip snip?
Hope he is behaving himself and he is cheering you up.
look after yourself and have a good meal and feel better.
;)
Now just imagine the chaos with 2 of them, you fancy Fred and Ginger? :rofl:
-
Snip snip is on Monday and hopefully he will be fully fine by the time I collect him, Gareth is coming in specially to do it and is on a week off, so wonderfully kind.
Fred and Ginger, ummmmmmmmm no lol. Mind you if there was just Fred and Ginger that would be OK, its my other 3 that I am worried about and one of them hold grudges and the other is sad. I hope it will all sort out quickly.
Yes he is making me laugh and smile and behaving............noooooooooooo LOL
Am about to have dinner and am a tad worried cos he is quiet for more than 5 mins..........sigh
Right , where is he!
-
I forgot you didn;t have Napolean and Ducha form Kittens - I had Beavis and Oscar form 16 weeks old , and as I see you are finding out Birmans seem to have an extra naughty gene. I still have pin hole marks in my curtains............. :evillaugh:
-
Yes you are right Kirst, I only got them just over 5 years ago.
Lupin seems to me to be quite small for his age and has a much smaller head than Ducha although his neck is quite chunky..........he is all muscle and definately has a norty gene LOL
How much did Beavis grow in years 2 and 3? Presumably he was neutered around 6 months?
Lupin likes to sleep in the afternoon and is flaked out on the sofa just like yesterday...........peace :rofl: :rofl:
-
how did i miss this Gill? he sounds like a right troublemaker, tell him to behave or Leonie will have him!
-
I dont know Lau......it was in the non-cat area cos started about the journey to get him.
He is a bit smaller than Leonie I think, definately lighter but has a good hiss on him :rofl: :rofl:
-
Leonie can hold her own i tell you :P plus now leonie has back up! Jonny follows her everywhere and now some of the others have joined in. i think she is the new leader of the cat gang, much to Candie's disgust :rofl:
-
I don't know about Birmans but Somalis are slow growing/maturing (don't reach full size until about 4 years old) and Mosi was so much smaller as a kitten than Jaffa ever was. I remember being surprised the first time I saw him at about 10 weeks as he was tiny. When I got him home at 14 weeks he was about the size Jaffa was at 8 weeks. He did continue to grow slowly and wasn't at his full height, let alone full muscular size, until at least 3 years old. So I suspect Lupin has an awful lot of growing to do and will be nowhere near being full grown like a moggy would be at that age. It surprised me how much Mosi grew in years 2 and 3. The breeder told me he would be quite a big cat and I did wonder whether she'd got it wrong because he seemed quite a bit smaller than Jaffa by about age 2. But every now and then when they stood side by side, I'd notice that Mosi seemed taller! He didn't fill out properly - in his face and general head shape - until he was 4 years old.
-
Leader of the cat gang.........why am I not surprised LOL
I dont think Lupin wants to be a leader, just play, eat and sleep..............oh and howl :innocent:
Off to get the camera.
-
i offer swaps...
pics of Lupin for pics of Leonie ;)
-
I just taken the first but gonna take a while lol
-
Am loving reading all the updates as to how you're all getting on!! So pleased for you :hug: xxx
-
Thank you Clare ;D
Here are his first pictures ;D
-
Lupin is a little cracker, a real handsome lad, no wonder he stole your heart ;D and he certainly looks very settled in the pics. :Luv2:
-
he is stunning! :Luv2:
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
he is gorgeous!
-
he is very sweet, how are the residents taking it all?
-
Ducha is Ok and they are touching noses but the other two are miserable about being stopped from using two rooms that they think are theirs.
He is being neutered tomorrrow, however I suspect that Misa and Sasa are not going to like him much so it will be tolerance only thing.......sigh
My main prob at present is needing that microchip reading flap so all can go every where except kitchen.
He is very fast and ingenious and if he makes a break for the cat flap he would be gone and thats in the kitchen.
If I could get that sorted then I would encourage Misa and Sasa to try and meet him.
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: He is sooooo yummy. :hug: :hug:
Love his cat cushion and he definately does :Luv2: :hug: Well and truly settled.
One thing needs changing on your thread title Gill - CATitude :rofl: :Luv2:
Mary
-
:rofl: :rofl:
-
gosh he is gorgeous :Luv2:
-
Oh wow what a stunner :Luv:
So glad he is getting on with Ducha ;D
Wishing him all the best for the op tomorrow :hug:
-
He is gorgeous Gill - keeping you busy too but looks well settled in already - hope the op goes OK tomorrow - I'm sure he'll be just fine.
-
Thank you ;D
I guess everything is happening so quick, I havent had time to think about the operation.............main worry at present is how to keep him away from food from midnight!
I am sure he will be Ok cos Gareth is so good and its a simple and quick op isnt it?
-
He is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
WHAT a stunner!!!
But he will be quite a handfull, by the looks of him, he's the boss, and don't you forget it............
-
He is not letting me forget :rofl: :rofl:
He likes singing..... I was watching popstar to operastar and he was out wailing them :evillaugh:
-
He's gorgeous! :Luv: Certainly looks like he's settling in and feeling at home. He will be fine having the snip and probably just as well you haven't had time to fret over it. It's a very quick op for the boys. When Mosi came back from being done you'd never have known he'd had anything done - he just bounced out of his carrier and picked up where he'd left off before his little trip!
-
And that's before he is hungry :evillaugh:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/3009650122_d28d607e9e.jpg)
-
Love that LOL and yes but I am trying to feed him up before midnight but hard cos he is still singing!
-
Gill, he's stunning. :) Hope his op goes well and things settle in your house soon.
-
I love watching cats wash and he has just eaten and is having a big wash ;D
Now is lying on the window sill, probably its cooler over there.
He is trying to adjust to my times , poor little Lupin is and he didnt have enough sleep last night and today has been too hot for him I think.
-
OMG He is Beautiful
well worth the journey ;)
:Luv: :Luv2: :Luv: :Luv2: :Luv: :Luv2:
-
Aawww what a handsome lad :Luv: :Luv: Am sure all will go OK for op Gill :hug:
-
Gosh he's a handsome boy, Gill. I've done London to Iverness in one day but never the return trip as well, crikey.
Good luck for the snipsnip. He's already a credit to you.
-
Thank you everyone, I love him ;D
Trouble is Sasa wont come in the house and even eat!, She is staying in the greenhouse but have to think when ever she comes in Lupin is howling and she just leaves again......sigh
I need to get her coming in again.
I hope she will come in later when she thinks we are all asleep. Misa is in but wont come further than the kitchen, this is not good.
While Lupin is away tomorrow will open up the house and see if both will come into the front room.
-
Gill, he's gorgeous. :wow: Looks like he's settled in very well - particularly like the one of him half asleep, fangs on show :evillaugh:
-
Oh Gill, he is stunning :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Hope all goes well today, hopefully the opera may calm down a little once he's had the snip!? xxxx
-
Gill, he's gorgeous. :wow: Looks like he's settled in very well - particularly like the one of him half asleep, fangs on show :evillaugh:
He's got goofytoofs, that we can Poot's fangs when he's sleeping as one always pops out :evillaugh: :Luv2:
-

:Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Just caught up on the whole of this thread! Off to look if there is any info on how you found him! Glad your trek went ok and lupin is :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
good luck today with his little op!
I didn't have time to worry about Fred's op as I was convinced he didn't have any peas :rofl:, but they found them when I took Ginger in and asked them to look, they were just a bit small :-[ :rofl:
When Fred came home he was his usual self really, just very hungry!
-
Aww he is totally adorable :Luv:
I'd let the others in while he is away and get the scent of him maybe and let their scent in to his place? I'm sure they will soon get used to each there. They know where they have it good and wont want to give up the good life.
The op will be over in no time. Monty never even had stitches and was just the same when he came home as when he left!
-
Gill, Lupin is just adorable :Luv2: :Luv2: I love his name too.
-
Hope the chop goes well
Have you got Feliway plugged in it may help with the others coming back in, they need to feel its still their home to
I have Feliway plugged in with my new guest suite boy and he is much happier just a thought it may help
-
Thanks all, he was coming round from the anesthetic just after two and can be collected from 1600 onwards. I will be collecting him just before 1800.
Sadly LOL, he has now learnt to sing in the car too, I am hoping he was just hungry or needed the tray or something!
I am hoping that todays trip hasnt made him scared of the carrier cos up to now he just toddles in when I ask him :innocent:
Thanks Liz I had forgotten about feliway, I dont have any partly cos Sasa doesnt like it but if the need be I will try a plug in. Both Misa and Sasa can come in anytime they like and during the night they can go anywhere in the house except the bedroom and during the day they can use the whole of the back of the house and Misa has taken to sleeping in the kitchen, close to the flap and Sasa eventually after midnight came in to eat........sigh#
She is spending all her time in the greenhouse at present.
Today if they wanted they had the full run of the house but have chosen not to come any further than the utitilty room for Misa and Sasa not at all, she hasnt been in to eat.
I am sure Lupin has fully scented the house and certainly they have heard his operatics and am hoping that it will just take some time for Misa and Sasa to accept him. Ducha gives him a look as if to say, stop pestering me, leave my food alone and just stop making that noise, then he starts whining and shouting himself LOL
I am now going to have to block the banisters on the stairs up cos he is looking between the struts and am sure he is trying to work out what will happen if he jumps! Birmans are just too clever for their own clogs :rofl: :rofl:
This afternoon have been out in the garden and am feeling so good about Lupin, I will never ever forget Napoleon but its like he is sending Lupin tips on how to behave and Lupin is already coming down the stairs like Napoleon, touching my legs and getting under my feet but all the time looking up at me to make sure I am still moving downwards ;D
His eyes are a fabulous shade of blue, darker than Napoleons and dont know how much he will grow but his legs should get darker.
I am over the moon with my little man :wow: :wow:
-
I am over the moon with my little man
:hug: :hug: That's so good to hear, Gill. :)
(Mind you, 'spect he'll be thinking - "Ah divvent knaa wot's gannin on here mind, ah get smuggled oot the hoose, driven away in a redcurrant, ah can smell oth'as like me bur'a' canna see nowt, an noo ah feel like am missin summat ah had afore, but I divvent knaa wot!" :shify:) :evillaugh:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Pleased Lupin came through the op ok ;D Perhaps now he has been neutered his scent will change as his hormones change over the next few weeks and it will make Misa and Sasa less wary.
Have you tried singing along with him Gill :evillaugh:
-
Oh yes Jiji I can do purrrrrrfect birman howls lol, been practising for 5 years :rofl: :rofl:
-
So glad the op went well ;D :hug:
Lovely Lupin ;D
-
(Mind you, 'spect he'll be thinking - "Ah divvent knaa wot's gannin on here mind, ah get smuggled oot the hoose, driven away in a redcurrant, ah can smell oth'as like me bur'a' canna see nowt, an noo ah feel like am missin summat ah had afore, but I divvent knaa wot!" :shify:) :evillaugh:
:rofl: :rofl:
Agree about the hormones point - once his have settled down after the op he will smell different to the others. Maybe they see him as a bit of a threat now as he will smell like an entire cat.
Glad the op went well - he'll soon be back home and singing! ;D
-
One word - Ph-wo-ar :drool; :Luv:

Brilliant :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
We have just arrived home and from his eyes I can tell he is still dopey.
He has just munched through a pouch of food, thought it was better than him keep licking the area! No stitches.
He is very quiet at present and no singing in the car :innocent:
I think most that have seen him agree with you Helen lol. all the ladies, except the grumpy two on desk tonight, have been drooling over him and the vets too.
He is looking a little confused but he knew he was home ;D
He has also been chipped and realized in the car I got his DOB wrong grrrrrrrrrrrrr, will ring the chip company tomorrow.
-
So pleased all went well today and he is everything you hoped he would be. ;D
-
He sounds like he's taken over lol! :evillaugh: Franta definately sent the little 'angel' to you ;)
-
Franta chose him.
That is why you knew you had to go all the way to the other side of the country to see this kitten.
He told you to go there and bring that particular cat home.
Some cats do select someone to help you get over the loss and help you understand they are still with you.
For Franta is with you, not just in your heart, but also in the guidance he is giving Lupin.
Just like Jiskefet chose and coached Ricky.
I had already decided I did not want another cat, but when I buried Jissy, I suddenly felt I had to be at a rescue I had never been before, and not just any time, but at 11 sharp the next morning. I didn't even know they opened at 11 am. We arrived at 11.10, and Ricky was looking out for us in the window, as if to say: what took you so long? It turned out he had just come out of quarantaine that morning.
Cats know what they are doing when they send us a cat of their choice.
-
Oh yes I think you are right and I waited and waited for about 3 weeks before going up north for Lupin.
Napoleon is definately teaching him and all the norty things LOL, he has been chasing Ducha today and hve had to banish him from the bedroom and on the whole he is being Ok as long as I am in the room with him.
Also think that during today he has got some sleep which is not drug induced from his op yesterday and he will be starting to feel better. he also had pain relief and abs after the op. so all of this would have been affecting him.
He has used the tray prolifically today so every thing is working. He couldnt finish a pouch of food just now so his extreme hunger has gone
So by tomorrow I think it will just be norty Lupin LOL
-
Sounds like everything is going well! ;D
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Gill, am so pleased your little Geordie Gadgie (that's what we call 'em up here) is showing no unfortunate after effects from his op and all is functioning normally ;) Am a firm believer in serendipity, especially when it comes to our pet companions. :)
Not sure Ducha will glad everything's back to normal service, though. :Luv: Sending a "knowing look" to Ducha :hug:
-
It seems like Lupin and Ducha will get on together :)
Glad everything is in good working order ;D
-
Yes Ducha is giving me that look too Sue and also a hulpppppppppp one too.......sigh
How can I get the pong out of the house, it seems to be permantly here, Neutroldol only doing half a job!!
-
Sasa told me she hates lupin an' she has been banished to the greeeeenhowse. She sez hee smellz.
Us catz are goin' to invayde yore space on heer 'cos yoo hooomans have been on ower bit spyin' on us.
Izzy
-
You are welcome here Izzy ;D
I dont invade your space.
Sasa has banished herself to the greenhouse and all cats and humans smell cos we all have our unique smell and Sasa hasnt got used to another cat smell in the house.
She is a bit of a scaredy cat cos she had a bad life before she came here and is a semi feral and hates people.
-
Poor Sasa. I telled her that Lupin probly feeling scairt too bein' in noo howse an' she shood try an' mayke frends.
Also telled her wunc he has his nutz choppt heel smell betterer, hope shee lyks him soon..
Sumtimes it taykes long tyme to get yoosed to noo catz in yore howse.
Woz Helen kept wentin' on ower bit an' so weez staygin' a revolloooshun.
Izzy
