Hi all, i'm lau200 (Laura to most people) and i was directed here a while back by a member from another forum, but with a broken laptop and then internet issues i haven't got around to actually coming on here. i have various animals, such as chinchillas, hamsters, degus, gerbils etc as well as the cats. we welcome all waifs and strays which is how most of our animals have come to us. i look forward to chatting about cats :)

legendary Clark Man Cat who was a stray living in my garden. our hard work and patience has paid off- he lives in our house with us now, a real member of the family!

Cody who is 1/2 maine coon and thinks he is the boss (he really isn't! they just let him think that)

Cady who is 1/2 ragdoll i believe and baby of the group

Charley who is quiet but coming out of her shell

Chelsey a real attention seeker

Courtney- just a nutter! nick named mad head  ;D
(http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac153/lau2010/animals/DSCF2086.jpg)

Clive is another garden cat, who we mainly only see of an evening as he is feral and extremerly timid
(http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac153/lau2010/animals/DSCF0646.jpg)

and sadly no photos of Clancy, our other garden cat. we do have several other strays who we feed from time to time, but we don't see them regularly or care for them like the above ones. we worm and de-flea the above and should they need vetinary attention, they get it asap as we do look for them and watch their behaviour/coat condition/general well being etc.

and not forgetting Charleston, who was one of our feral garden cats. we believe he has passed away because we haven't seen him in months although i do hold out the hope that he is happy and warm in a house somewhere, i think it was unlikely due to his poor condition. i just wish we had got a humane cat trap earlier  :(

thanks, they are all definately worth the stress they cause me! each of them have a special place in my heart and i expect my heart is about to grow again, just seen more feral kittens in the next road to ours so i think i'll have to investigate in the daylight tomorrow. i had abit of a worry the other week when penny caught a virus and it spread like wildfire. nearly £300 lighter, everyone seems well again now. i tell you giving meds to 10 cats is no easy task!

 :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 an amazing furry family you have  :Luv2: They're all gorgeous but I particularly like Clive, that photo of him peeping over the fence is so sweet!  :Luv:
