keep calm and don't be gutted, really little Indie should be with her mum until at least 12weeks of age.

Wrote to the woman and told her my OH and I have 9 days off from Saturday so it would make sense to have Indie from then, at 7 weeks. She said no. Gutted  :'(

I hate games.  >:( >:( >:(

How frustrating!!!

We put collars on ours initially to stop us from tripping over poor Dexter who blended in with the laminate flooring! When they started going outside though they kept loosing them and I got sick of buying new ones  >:(

For post spay, most vets dont seem to bother with a collar/ cone post op. Only if the cat is picking at the wound. I would wait and see what they advise.

Still haven't heard, but had a conversation about fireworks and treats on Facebook so she is now at least speaking to me!

Can't understand why she just won't acknowledge my OHs message.

Can't contain anything Slugsta, literally going out of my mind!  :Crazy:

Thank you Pandorawarlord, let's hope you'll be getting fed up of me taking the photos soon!

I just want her home, checked by a vet and to build her up a bit so that she doesn't get poorly.  :scared:

Good news! Just had a couple of photos sent over and Indie is doing much better and eating up her grub!  ;D



She is still the smallest kid on the block......


but it looks like she has made a friend.


Have asked if she can come home this weekend, just waiting for an answer!  :scared:

Think Sheila bought one

Kittyboo Collars make breakaway collars for very small cats and kittens.  I would say hold off putting her in a collar until around 12 weeks old.  Am not a fan of collars but where a cat is indoor and outdoor, some people assume any cat without a collar is a stray.  Many are not educated enough to know about, or how to check for, microchips.  Collars have twice had us reunited with cat's fatally injured.  They can have their uses.   :hug:


Some vets will only spay at 6 months, but there's a growing acceptance that it can be done at 4 or 5 months, so I would have a chat with your vet. 

Hoping Indie continues to do very well indeed.

Hi Gill

Re kitten food, Bozita do a tetra pack of kitten food, so I thought I'd get that.

Re collars, was thinking of a collar when she is much older and can get outside.

Re spaying, hope to spay as soon as vet will allow, then chip her at the same time. Those inflatable collars are fab, we have one for the dog. Where do you get them?  At what age is spaying possible, 6 months?

Great list and was gonna mention kitten food too.

Personally I dont like collars and you may find it hard to get one for a very small kitten............unless she has become very big by then  :evillaugh: :evillaugh:

Have you thought about spaying as there are different ways it can be done, the normal way usually needs a cone of shame so if that all your vets will do, one of these maybe useful!

They are soft ande stop access to the wound but give more visibilty to the wearer and make it easier to lie down.

That photo in the sink :rofl:

The wee grey kitten at the back is so cool and laid back compared to the others, cracks me up  :rofl:

Love the cat tree! she'll have lots of fun on that
I can see Indie is going to be spolied rotten like my pair of monsters are  :wow:

The biggest hit in my house has definitely been the play cube from purrs. They've leapt on it so may times it's now completely mishapen and I'm going to need to buy another soon  :naughty:

Collar?
It's a bit early for a collar, but if you do decide to get one later, make sure it's a breakaway one. It can be expensive if the cat keeps losing them, but better to lose the collar than the cat.
I prefer not to have any collar, but I've put one on Lily, because she wanders quite a distance and I kept seeing her on Facebook with people asking if she was a stray, and I was worried that someone would take her in and not bother to get her checked for a microchip. That hasn't happened since she got a collar.

I don't sleep very well and I know I shouldn't but I always end up on the iPad!  :innocent:

It's lethal just now as I'm looking at lots of lovely kitty things online.  ;D

I bought this, this evening. It's to go in a particular space as we live in a small cottage, so I hope it fits!



I'm hoping that getting it now will help the dogs get used to it.

Once I test out Zooplus' new Courier that delivers this far north for free,  I'm going to start working on my shopping list!  ;D

Your comments would be very welcome!

MY SHOPPING LIST

A couple of Cabrio Litter boxes and mats (do I need liners for them?)
Oko Plus Cat Litter (I have a wee hand Hoover!)
Bozita Cat food plus some Felix pouches as its what she's going to be on when we get her.
Bowls.
Toys from the Purrs shop.
A bed for the bedroom but no doubt she'll end up on our bed!
We have already got a carrier.
Collar?
I think that's it! Or is it? Please let me know?

 :thanks:

They are only 4 weeks old Dawn and apparently were in a bit of a pooey mess this morning. The owner was telling me that they love getting blown dry afterwards!  ;D

Torture! I was demented coping with 14 sleeps!

But counting down the days on here definitely helped!

I can't wait till you get her home and can keep us updated on how she's doing.

I love sharing all my 2 boys progress on here & everyone is so supportive.

It's also the one place you're guaranteed that no-one will get bored by kitten stories & photos ;D
