Title: Hello again
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on April 16, 2017, 12:40:39 PM: Hi guys

Long time no see - my voluntary work got rather hectic, so not as much time for forums, but I've recently had a change of rescues, so have more spare time now, so thought I would re-join.

I currently just have the one cat - she is anti-social, so not much chance of 2!! She has just had major surgery, a femoral head incision - I still pick cats that develop unusual conditions. Sadly, pre-op bloods show early renal problems, she is only 9 :'(

I also have two foster cats - we were told they were brother and sister, turned out to be two brothers!! Stunning cats, a ginger/white and grey/white, both longhaired.

I've re-registered my photobucket account, but struggling to get it to do anything

Liz is just busy taking off her and Hubbies socks off so that they can count! :rofl:

I have five now. Glutton for punishment, 3 snakes, and more fish than you can shake a stick at thanks to three tanks and a pond, one of the tanks having at least 300 Guppies.

LOL! :rofl: I'm lucky if I can read one a week, although since swapping voluntary jobs, I've read more. Downside now is the foster cats - there are two of them, who both want stroking. Shame I can't get into audio books

Title: Re: Hello again
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on April 16, 2017, 16:33:08 PM: Wow. I'm surprised you'd have bought a Bengal, surely 8 of them would be enough! Sorry you've lost two already this year :(

Post by: Sue P (Paddysmum) on April 16, 2017, 17:26:06 PM: Desley - how great to see you back with us!!! ;D :hug: :hug:

We have three at the moment. Moray's is a Norwegian Forest Cat lookee-likee who is 3 and pretty laid back, and we have two semi feral gullies- Barley black-stockings, who is a rangy dark tabby, and Malt who's a dainty white and tabby. Both are nervous and flighty, but Barley is a little cuddlebum. :)

Moray's has limited sight in his left eye following an incident 18 months ago when we believe he was kicked, but he loves his gullies, and is a very protective big Bro.

Post by: Rosella moggy on April 17, 2017, 22:29:18 PM: Hi Desley. Nice to see you back. Sorry to hear about your lovely girls health issues but she's very lucky to have landed in your care :hug: :hug:

The boys are stunning and hopefully will find a good home together before long.

We currently have 8 sharing our home ranging from 17 weeks to 13 years. Keep us sane in a mad world :)
