I really feel like I have landed on my feet (just like a kitty!) We adopted this mum and her son almost 2 weeks ago now. They are just the best. The mum is cuddly, so well trained with litter and using a scratching post instead of the furniture, and just generally has the sweetest temperament...

Hey guys. I appreciate the replies. I've been pretty busy! I think I had built things up in my mind, whereas in reality it is going great. My two new kitties are really happy in the sitting room. They are brilliant with the litter and are eating well. They are very playful. The older cat is...

Hi all This time last week I would not have expected to be in this situation! I adopted a cat and her kitten from a local rescue - I agreed a pick up of yesterday after we went through everything on Friday. However on Friday evening my poor elderly neighbours were taken to hospital and their...

I realised today I didn't post a picture of my beautiful Harry. Today felt easier and I was able to talk about him to my partner - I didn't even want to mention him up until now for fear of falling apart. I also felt more used to him not being in the house. He is totally irreplaceable but it...

I am so sorry for your loss. Your cat sounded fabulous. Harry was on my lap every night and also like to lie on my chest and nuzzle into my neck - he was such a cuddly boy.

Thank you - it sounds like you had a lot on your plate x

Hi. I haven't posted on this site in years but I thought of this community in my grief. My boy who would have been 16 in April had to be put to sleep on Tuesday. I am in so much pain; I never thought it would be this hard. All I want to do is lie down and cry, but I have to stay strong for my...

Thanks everyone. He actually runs away from anyone else who comes into the house; it's only me and sometimes my husband that he is affectionate towards! I laughed when I read this; I'm not sleeping too well so I'm probably over-analysing everything at the moment and imagining plenty of...

Thanks for the replies. I'm definitely going to make sure I give him as much attention as I can; I'm more worried about him jumping up on me when I'm nursing though. Bar pushing him off my lap, is there any way of discouraging this?

Hi folks I just wanted to ask for some advice on how to make the big adjustment when I have my first baby in (hopefully) 2 months. Harry is a spoiled cat; I'll be the first to admit that. He has been my only baby for quite a while. He is extremely attention seeking; as soon as I come in the...
