Not long to wait now. Hopefully, Toby will love us and we'll love him. We'll let you know how we get on!
I am really pleased to hear this - although I would restrict his outdoor access to supervised only cos of the concerns about his hearing, and he may not appreciate being walked on a lead, very few cats do. Not sure about Iams biscuits am afraid, I refuse to feed them.
There are ethical issues with Iams, but the main reason is that for the price of it, you could get something that IMO is much better quality, i think it is overpriced and not great ingredients. You probably would have to change his food over gradually, although a mix of wet and dry food is best.
I've already had an email from him saying "woo Hoo, Toby coming home soon". He's 32 in two weeks time and I'm not sure who's excitement is harder to contain, his or our two and a half year old.
I've decided to wait and see what the CP people recommend tomorrow, before I go out and buy food. I'm slightly concerned about changing his diet, as well as his surroundings all at the same time. I thought maybe it would be best to buy what he's eating at the moment and then research fully the best food for him, before changing it.

Thats the best thing to do, stress can upset tummies on its own so a food change at the same time is not a good idea!
In regards to meat if they offer tinned food that may be why he ignores it, pouches taste better ;)
Good luck for tomorrow! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Only 6.5 hrs till we can collect Toby. I'm still excited, but getting really nervous now as well. :scared:We've never owned a cat before, so I'm starting to doubt everything. i.e What time do I feed him, what if he does escape etc etc I'll be asking lots of questions this afternoon. I can always call on you guys as well. Must try and relax a bit. I hope he does like his new home.
OMG Toby is gorgeous.
i love pure white cats - I think he looks a bit stern in the first couple of pics, think it is his eyes!!
He's brill. He makes us feel complete as a family.
look out for those white hairs though they get everywhere including on visitors
He can moult all he likes. I've got my trusty dyson. :) Must admit, we don't let him in the bedrooms anyway, because of our little boy. Often find him on the landing though. ;)
