Good boy Rolo

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #241 on:** March 12, 2008, 19:11:39 PM »

Rosie is in the bathroom, as she doesn't use a tray, Rolo was fine when she was brought in though, unusual for him, but he is better with female cats. He was lovely with their son though, so maybe I can home him with older children - they just need to be old enough to realise his overboisterousness with playing.

Sending positive vibes for Rolo Des....hope later on he's okay with other cat being there!

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #239 on:** March 12, 2008, 12:06:01 PM »

I never met him but Rolo has a little corner of my heart all to himself

JackSpratt · « **Reply #238 on:** March 12, 2008, 11:16:28 AM »

I think Rolo's got a bit of the "bruiser cat" in him, but definitely like him.

Hope he settles down soon.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #237 on:** March 12, 2008, 08:01:45 AM »

I know!! I am still wary of him in the bathroom, so have been distracting him with toys (I should have just shut the door again, as it will be in use tonight.).He is incredibly playful early on for a 10yo. I could do with using the cage for the cat coming tonight, but I think that will just annoy Rolo.

Those stinky toms do nothing for a gentlemans confidence

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #235 on:** March 10, 2008, 13:38:35 PM »

Thats good news then Desley - there's hope for him yet

I think we are all rooting for him to settle down so he can stay with you.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #234 on:** March 10, 2008, 09:49:22 AM »

Just defending his territory then, what a sweetie

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #233 on:** March 10, 2008, 07:57:09 AM »

Do you know, my brain really doesn't work well at times - I realised last night why he sprayed in teh bathroom, and why he did it in the cat room last week - it was cos I had had unneutered toms in!! He has been fine in the cat room today, he just used the tray - i think that is a dominance thing, he will use any tray he can (apart from Zi's, cos he doens't like the door!!)

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #232 on:** March 09, 2008, 18:28:49 PM »

True - no cat is unadoptable, so I will keep my fingers crossed - he has only been here since October, so for a 10yo, it isn't that long. The last oldie took us 6 months to rehome, and he wasn't up for rehoming for the first couple of months. I just hope he will settle if he does get rehomed, that is a big concern.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #231 on:** March 09, 2008, 18:19:36 PM »

That's if a good home comes along Des. He might misbehave just to put them off so he can stay with you.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #230 on:** March 09, 2008, 11:56:44 AM »

i do keep telling him!! OTher than that, he is a happy little boy, but I do think i am goign to hav to rehome him for his own good, he does deserve to be an only cat and someone who maybe only works part time.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #229 on:** March 09, 2008, 11:45:26 AM »

Sounds like he is getting there Des. If he could only understand that he could stay if he was a good boy.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #228 on:** March 09, 2008, 10:47:23 AM »

I know, the little butter!! It's a good job I love him, isn't it?? I had to throw the sponge ball into the front room to get him to leave me in peace while i cooked my breakfast this morning!! He is sitting on the cat tree more though, which is good.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #227 on:** March 09, 2008, 06:53:19 AM »

He reminds me of a naughty toddler wanting attention whether good or bad. Behave Rolo

Millys Mum · « **Reply #226 on:** March 08, 2008, 20:37:40 PM »

Bless him, couldnt be attention seeking in any more of an obvious manner!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #225 on:** March 08, 2008, 18:45:50 PM »

Since I posted, he has sprayed twice, and overshot trying to use someone elses tray!! I have sussed it out though, it is trying to cover their scent with his, so I have stopped his access to the bathroom, used lots of Simple Solution (new foster coming on Wed) and then put him outside to see if that helped him get anything left out by scenting outside (someone has scented my car!!) - I dont mind the cat room as much, as there is very little carpet in there, and painted floor is easy to clean. The only advantage is he tends to do it in front of me, I have found very little when I haven't been there, so I can stop him and clean it asap. We have had fun with tea though, I bought them some raw turkey to try, and he was keen to try it, but struggling, so I chopped his up really small, then he got the hang of it and I left him chewing his way through a big piece cos he wasn't willing to wait for me to chop it!!

Maybe he has got it all out of his system and is starting to accept living in a multi cat household. I so hope so because I really want him to stay with you Des.

So do I

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #223 on:** March 08, 2008, 15:23:54 PM »

That's really positive. Maybe he has got it all out of his system and is starting to accept living in a multi cat household. I so hope so because I really want him to stay with you Des. Charlie ripped up the rubbish bag when I was cleaning upstairs yesterday, trying to help of course

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #222 on:** March 08, 2008, 14:35:23 PM »

Really well, being a little butter when I am trying to sort washing out, he thinks he can play with it!! He hasn't sprayed for about a week, I hope he will stop that and stop attacking the neighbours cats, as I would love to keep him. He is doing well with his food, he doesn't like one flavour of Whiskas, but loves his JWB, he is eating biscuits well to say he only has two teeth.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #221 on:** March 08, 2008, 14:27:47 PM »

How's everyone's little mate doing Des?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #220 on:** March 04, 2008, 09:17:02 AM »

ahhh lovely pics and he looks like he's got loads of spark in him too

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #219 on:** March 04, 2008, 08:16:28 AM »

You can show Chris the pics Nic. I love Rolo to bits, and he does seem to love me to bits too, so I hope that when someone ever does come forward, he can transfer that bond. I didn't love him quite so much for spraying in the cat room this morning though!! Apart from the odd swipes at Moses (who gives back), we haven't had any fighting for a while, which is good. MM, you can see his attitude in that last pic!!

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #218 on:** March 03, 2008, 19:17:17 PM »

He just wants you all to himself Desley - it was so obvious when I saw him that he just loves you to bits (and I think its mutual?). Such a shame that you can't keep him - I hope things work out for him.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #217 on:** March 03, 2008, 18:14:59 PM »

He is drop dead gorgeous. Such a beautiful little face, hard to believe he is so feisty.

Garfield&Gypsy · « **Reply #216 on:** March 03, 2008, 17:35:01 PM »

Aww! he's so lovely.
Chris was besotted with Rolo when we saw him - he sprawled out on chris' chest as well! Pity he doesn't get on with other cats otherwise we would have probably had him as well.

Chris does keep asking about him - Probably as Garfy is such a mummy's boy he feels a little left out sometimes. (even though Gypsy enjoys both of us)

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #215 on:** March 03, 2008, 16:49:02 PM »

He has been acting weird yesterday and today - Frankie hates being cooped up, and I keep finding Rolo sprawled on the landing playing footsie wiht the bathroom door, so I actually let them briefly see each other, and he just made the weird miaow I hear outside when he is having a disagreement with the neighbours cat, and then they spit at each other, but dont go out of their way to attack. Frankie has someone looking at him tomorrow so dont want them to have too much contact, as Frankie is going to an indoor only home which wouldnt suit Rolo. Sprayed over the weekend, but as he weed in the tray straight after, the vet said it was probably behavioural. Here are some pics

Sending hugs to both of you xxx

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #213 on:** February 27, 2008, 06:20:35 AM »

Glad he is doing well and really looking forward to seeing the new pix of him

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #212 on:** February 26, 2008, 22:45:03 PM »

Thanks, i am going to have to put him on the Top Cats page this weekend I think, as we haven't had any enquiries yet. House is goign to feel awfully strange when he goes, teh girls are a bit anti-social and stay upstairs most of the time.

pappilon · « **Reply #211 on:** February 26, 2008, 22:38:51 PM »

Aww, bless him .

I am sure he will find a good home soon.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #210 on:** February 26, 2008, 22:18:50 PM »

no new scabs, I got some good action pics earlier, so will get round to doing something with them soon!! He has finished all his a/b's now - surprisingly, he finds the dental biscuits easier to eat than any other biscuits. Not that he needs them, but hey ho!!

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #209 on:** February 26, 2008, 19:59:55 PM »

Busy being feisty with his outdoor ~~playmates~~ arch enemys i suspect

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #208 on:** February 26, 2008, 16:12:32 PM »

How's the feisty fella Des?

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #207 on:** February 17, 2008, 19:35:36 PM »

Well I am glad you said that cos I was secretly glad!!!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #206 on:** February 17, 2008, 17:29:46 PM »

Glad - no need to be sad, he is happy(ish) at the moment, he has had some fresh air, playtime and cuddles so far today, but I do have to clean his ears later. He is one of the lucky ones who ended up in a rescue, I dont think he would have survived the winter with how thin he was.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #205 on:** February 17, 2008, 16:11:44 PM »

I don;t know if I'm glad or sad!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #204 on:** February 17, 2008, 10:57:59 AM »

Yeah, he is. No interest in him yet, but these things tend to come out of the blue.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #203 on:** February 17, 2008, 10:56:28 AM »

For all his feistyness he is a little baby at heart
