Not sure if this is in the right place...
Sorry its been a long time coming, been mad with the move.
Here he is:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/Bex1986/2010-11-14155629.jpg)
We've named his Castiel, he was pretty starved when he came to us, he was soo skinny bless him, now hes calmed down on his eating (probably because he knows they will be more) and he's looking so much healthier.
He has such a big personality, naughty when he wants to be and is such a lap cat - but on his own terms!
He cries when he can hear but not see you, otherwise he's fine, and he loves the bath and any running water - strange cat.
-
:Luv: :Luv: Great name, too. See he figured out early what humans are for.... :evillaugh:
-
Yeah his new favourite is getting us to pick him up by meowing around our feet and then using us to stand on to watch the fish.
He is very cheeky bless him.
-
Oooh a tabby babe my favourite :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
:Luv2: Is he going to be your first failed foster as well as your first foster? Looks like he has you firmly under the paw. :evillaugh:
-
lovely :):)
Elvis has a fascination with water and the bath too!
-
I would not be able to part with him he is gorgeous :Luv2:
-
Yeah unfortunately I think I will be a failed fosterer :(
He's just too sweet, he knows his name, comes when called, is really playful and is such a lap cat, loves his tummy rubs.
We didnt have our own cat before we decided to do this so I suppose I'd rather adopt a stray than put money into the hands of the breeders :D
I will do better in the future though lol!
-
Ha ha...already!?!
I know the feeling though...I'm getting quite attached to the two little feral babies I have in my shed...they are my first rescues too :D
The only thing that puts me off is that I have 3 puds and a dog already!!!

Unfortunately it is one of the pitfalls of fostering as there is always at least one that gets under your skin and that you can not bear to part with, strangely enough with me if they were rehomed (will explain later the last comment) it was always harder to let go of the ones that had behaviour or had had a really tough time and had nursed back to health.
It is also difficult when you get the elderly cats in that are 10+ years and are on medication and are with you months and sometimes over a year before the vet can do no more for them.
I always used to give the long termers as I nicknamed them a bit of extra attention and treats that the rescue never knew about. If they had been given the all clear for transmitable diseases as well they would get some time to play or just chill out with my own cats which was against the rules. The longest I had one was an 18 year old cat with hyperthyroidism and she was with me for 18 months before the vet said it was time to let her go to the Bridge.

The first ones are the hardest but sometimes they just get their paws under the table :Luv2:
Steff they are small you wouldn't notice 2 more - take it from someone who can testify to that :shocked: :rofl:
-
Haha...I think I'm just a big attention seeker, and if he went I'd have no one to fuss me :(
The other halfs useless at it lol!
