Thought thats what trees were for?

Ah I see. So you're responsible for teaching them these disgraceful habits Angie

umm ... are they stealing socks.... are they finding Teabags and shreding them all over your living room?

Judith can take the blame for Bobby's antics.

If however, you are up to having two more I shall box up Mac and Pecan and send them by special delivery!

Its a good job I popped in here cos have put wrong cat names on a card and cannot think for the life of me what the right ones are......sigh

My trees still standing.............I am amazed

haha Oh Rosella that pic so made me laugh, it must be so much fun at your house

funkiechicken · « **Reply #43 on:** December 18, 2011, 13:07:16 PM »

I've been quite lucky, my tree has only gone over once in 13years. Tazi used to just sit and stare at the lights and his head would move back and forward like he was hypnotised haha

This year I bought "mirror ball" baubles like they had in discos (Pack of 6 from pound shop! happy days!) and the mirror spots spin round the room when the sun shines (looks nice all round the room) and Nuggie has taken to attacking the moving light reflections on the floor rather than the tree!!

Sorry to cause confusion but Bertie is now officially "Bobby". OH is a Chess nut so they are named after Boris (Spasky) and Bobby (Fischer) which links them up nicely seeing as they are brothers

Quote from: thekittensmittens on December 16, 2011, 12:55:30 PM

can you please ask boris and bertie to come round to show my furrballs the purpose of the cat tree currently erected in my bedroom

Certainly ............. see link

Sadly there is however currently some confusion as to the purpose of the Christmas Tree. It seems unable to stay upright for more than a few minutes .....

Awwww wow!

Sorry i have only just seen and commented - but i havent been logged on for a while! (being Referee isnt easy work!

)

I'm so pleased everything has worked out so well in such a short space of time!!

You need to send your boys over to tell Nuggie how its done!! haha

and can i say how gorgeous they all are too!!

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #37 on:** December 15, 2011, 23:23:16 PM »

I'm in with Bertie and Boris overnight if they behave. They like to play chase

This is a pic from last night. Rather sweet of Billy to turn his back on Bertie in such a trusting manner so soon ......

All going rather well ............. so far

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #36 on:** December 13, 2011, 23:12:30 PM »

Oops s'pose I ought add an update

All going pretty OK with Bertie Boy

. He spent most of this evening on highest level of cat tree (same one as Judith's). A few hissy spits; nothing major but have to say he is not overly confident atm bless him so we are being rather protective except with his bro Boris. They seem to be getting on rather well

His dad is sleeping in his room with him again tonight. We change over at 6am

Will be able to get things sorted better over the weekend when we are both home and have more time but each day we are making good progress

and will attempt to put Christmas tree up on Saturday which should be fun .....

Bertie looks at home already

- oh, and Chico is sitting on my lap and he was VERY interested in the video of Bertie tucking into his dinner lol!

Well, you have one more than me now Rosella (oh, unless Bella moves in of course

sheilarose · « **Reply #23 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:29:53 AM »

Rosella, now you're putting ideas in my head - at last I've got my no.7 Chubby on friendly-ish terms and suddenly I'm thinking "is there room for just one more?"

OH is threatening to leave home, though, on the basis there's no room in the bed for all nine of us as it is

Bertie is a proper cutie

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #22 on:** December 12, 2011, 07:48:51 AM »

Err......... HIS bedroom

Just had a play sesh with one of the feathers Groucho brings in on occasion and left him to the delights of a catnip Yeoww rainbow

Work today but OH works from home so will pop in every so often. He has had a wee in tray ......... just awaiting nuggets

I keep calling him Spot

Can I just mention that Judith has the most beautiful group of cats and their mom Moggit is just gorgeous

The newbie ginger with the fractured pelvis is so very loving and Sylvester the elderly long haired B&W chap is a delight

This is a pic Judith sent me taken in October. Bertie is on lower shelf in the middle

As you can see she has one or two B&Ws in atm

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #21 on:** December 11, 2011, 23:48:36 PM »

love how hes already in your bedroom

madasacatter · « **Reply #20 on:** December 11, 2011, 22:56:52 PM »

I must admit I didn't go in the cat lounge for a while, so as not to face their Mum.

But with him missing, I kept looking at Dora who has a lot of white, but not the distinctive splodges. Nobody has those!

Keep up the good work, he will get more attention with you, here the 'phone keeps ringing and there are more to share/fight over cuddles and my lap.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #19 on:** December 11, 2011, 22:28:30 PM »

Oh Pav

I know. OH keeps saying exactly that but my head was all over the place back in July when we lost Fred

I just reassure myself that Bertie has had a lovely time with Judith since then and better late than never eh?

He's a real headbutty little chap and has many "Boris" mannerisms

He can't alf tuck away the grub

Think we'll try introductions at dinner time soon as they will be so focussed on their food

pappilon · « **Reply #18 on:** December 11, 2011, 22:07:59 PM »

Aww so sweet

I am surprised you could resist adopting him at the same time as you adopted Boris

Jiji · « **Reply #17 on:** December 11, 2011, 20:45:05 PM »

Bertie is just gorgeous

I hope he settles in soon

Liz · « **Reply #16 on:** December 11, 2011, 20:08:43 PM »

We have a tad more than that

But your Bertie is in good company as we had a darling Bertie who died when he was 21 he was a darling a wonderful senior gent and my only advice is give it time, even here we have the odd hiss now and again and once they get the idea they are there to stay then normal transmission resumes

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2011, 19:37:56 PM »

OH has explained it very well. When you share your home with 7 cats and another decides he wants to stay, you start counting backwards so now we have 6

i.e. don't you dare tell anyone we have 8

Not sure how many are in Liz's Clan on that basis

although there will still be 3 dawgies of course ...........

Kirst · « **Reply #14 on:** December 11, 2011, 18:36:21 PM »

So from the mognificant 7 to the Most excellent 8 then

- Bertie is a lucky boy!

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #13 on:** December 11, 2011, 17:27:43 PM »

Well............ Tiz all a bit odd and expectations change by the hour

Quote from: CarolM (Wendolene) on December 11, 2011, 15:07:53 PM

Will they remember each other?

Nope

or, if they do, doesn't look good

Am pretty sure the answers no though ...

Have to say the reaction is not at all what I expected but suspect Judith won't be surprised

. When we went to bring Boris home in July, Bertie came across as the dominant one. Judith said he was a quiet young chap now and it seems she is right. Boris (quite a bit the shorter of the two) is keen to get to know Bertie but, from an initial arched back hissy spitty reaction to Bobo, Bertie just ran away from him under the bed

He has now seen his bro 3 times. The longest sesh being about 20 seconds. Slowly slowly...

OH in with Bertie now while I cook tea. Bertie just had his tea and now realise his appetite is a lot better than earlier. If I look at his face closely, the resemblance with his bro is stunning, he bites all buttons and he is a glutton
