Don’t engage them, they don’t want their mind changed.
Recently had an overly long conversation with an older man who was explaining why cats were useless and selfish (a classmate had brought me an unused scratching post is how it all came up) .
He didn’t want to be convinced, I don’t care...
I believe cats sulk; Shinobi has one particular chair he only sits on when he’s been stopped doing something (like not being allowed to live in the dishwasher). He can see everything from the chair and pretends to sleep and watches and has such look of “I am the most deprived cat in the whole...
I agree with Artiemom, with couples living together, having a registry is becoming more uncommon as people have set up home already.
In Ireland it would be normal to give cash as a wedding present if you were going to the ‘full day’ (ceremony, reception, dinner, afters) as ideally you should be...
Poor little cat, how could anyone move and not make arrangements for their pet :(
Well done building trust up with her so she could be the sleek sassy snugglebug she was meant to be.
I adore black cats (okay all cats :rolleyes2:) and they are such a handsome pair! Love the contrast of the shiny grown up and matt baby; our Shinobi is mostly shiny now, it feels like it happened overnight.
How is Wendy finding the new arrival?
They do grow so fast, it feels like ten minutes between having a clumsy kitten to having an elegant young cat! All the best for the future, she looks like she’ll be running the house ;)
Thanks Mamanyt1953, everyone is so friendly! What a pretty tortoiseshell, reminds me of a one my parents had many years ago who also ruled with an iron fist.
Thanks, Aliceneko, I don’t know would sweet be the word, they are stone mad most of the time ;) Shin is just back from vet after neutering and he’s being his usual cheeky self, trying to keep him quiet is proving difficult and I hate keeping him away from Dodger.
Your guys look so cute and...
Thanks, Neely, yeah, that’s Shinobi Smolcat, plays till he’s wrecked then pans out on anything fluffy, be it a blanket or Dodger. I think he’d love your beautiful fluffy cat :) such tufty toes! And office skills ;)
Thanks, Rubysmama, they are beautiful bold boys :) Is that Ruby in your pic? she’s lovely, what a rich colour she has, and matching the trees behind :redheartpump:
Thanks, Tabbytom, for the sparkly welcome! Ha, the black cartoon cats in it remind me of Shin when he’s in play mode :)
Your cat in your avatar is gorgeous, look at his giant ears and fancy face marks! Weak for the black stripes between his eyes, like he was drawing on eyebrows and put them in...
Hi there,
Big thanks to this site and its posters for all the information, I always think it’s better to hear cat owner’s experiences rather than an article, as every cat, owner and situation is different and different perspectives help.
My boyfriend and I are proud owners/butlers to two...
Thanks for reply, Linzee2018, I was only thinking there I’d have to buy a newspaper in the morning :) Plan to keep Shin apart and watch him for the first 24 hours for sure, and do some scent exchange before bringing the buddies back together. If they were mild mannered I don’t think I’d be as...
Hi there everyone, first post so hopefully in the right forum.
We have had a male kitten, Shinobi, since eight weeks, he’s just coming up to 15 weeks now. Last weekend we got a rescue kitty of approx 5 or 6 months (Dodger, male, already neutered) . After a couple of days of Dodger growling at...
