Fella is gorgeous.  Just one little point I notice the handsome lad is wearing a collar .... it's hard to tell from the pic but is it a quick release collar?

Hiya, thanks for the welcome. Yes, it is a quick release safety collar and I can easily fit two fingers underneath. I wasn't sure if he should have a collar or not, but because he is so small its good that he has the bell so we can easily know where he is :)

Glad to hear it's quick release as you hear such horror stories........ collars or not is a difficult one; many moons back one of mine got her front leg stuck through an elasticated so called "safety" collar but luckily woke me to sort her out  :phew:  The jury is out on collars in this house.... so only 3 of our 7 have collars (reflective ones) as our lot go outside and just gives the 2 black girls and their black & white mom (all rescue) a bit of a chance against the cars.  Our "baby" 13 month old fluffy black boy just goes beserk though if we try and put a collar on him  :(  We didn't put collars on until they reached 6 months old though coz really young uns get into such scrapes and of course they were not allowed out when they were that young.

Your Fella is just a dreamboat  :catluv:

 :welcome: to Purrs   ;D

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:

What a little cutie you have there :Luv2:

Thanks for the welcome! I am glad I found this forum too as it has been 6 years since I lost my first cat Misty and I am a bit rusty on certain things.

I personally felt bad for putting the collar on him as he will be indoors for quite a while yet, but because he is so small we find the bell very useful to know where abouts he is. He wasn't keen on the collare for about an hour after putting it on, but he is fine with it now :) He is our little sweetheart, and to say my partner is a major dog lover, he has really fallen for Fella. Will post some more pics asap. :Luv:
