Alaska hasn't really earned many nicknames yet but i call her Laska, I called her that even before i found out that it was Polish for love. We also call her Alliecat, the only one she has earned is Daddy's girl, she loves her daddy.

We have a lovely rescue cat called Alaska, although some of them have stopped since she has been with us, i think some of her previous behaviour might be indicators of her previous life/treatment, so I wondered if anyone else has found this, do you cats have any little quirks that might tell you...

Sorry its taken so long to reply. Alaska has been with us 8 months now and we have both fallen madly in love with her. She is a lot more affectionate than the shelter made out, although she does not want constant cuddles she does like to be around people and will often sit on the bed or sofa...

My fiancé and I are moving house tomorrow. We have reserved a beautiful little girl cat at our local RSPCA centre to pick up and bring home on Sunday. Her name is Alaska. She is completely white. I just wondered if anyone had any imaginative names for a white cat. If she responds to Alaska we...

What do you look for in your pre-adoption home check and what kind of things would give you reason to refuse an adoption? It appears rules have become stricter since I last adopted a cat. The first time I was 12 and my mums cat had died a few months previously, we saw a cat advertised in the...

This is a very extreme form of hatred and totally barbaric if you ask me. I don't like dogs but I would never deliberately hurt one let alone try to run one down in my car. My dad didn't like cats, but he still did right by mine of I wasn't there, he was always the first up so he would give the...

My fiance and I should be moving into a new house in about early November and we would like to adopt a cat probably around Christmas time. I know that some rescues won't allow adoption of cats (especially black cats) around Halloween and I read somewhere that rescue centres are inundated with...

According to this I am 100% definitely a cat.

I would love a black cat. We went to visit the RSPCA centre a few weeks back to donate our old towels and they had so many black cats and kittens. My fiance really wanted take home a beautiful 9 year old black male called Fred who had had an operation on his eyes but we can't have a cat at the...

It truly broke my heart to give up my Max, but the need to do what was best for him won over and I'm sure all these owners are only doing what they feel is best for their pet. I am very lucky that I have the option to still see Max and know that he is being well cared for by someone that I...

I believe that cats have very sharp senses, I also believe they can see things we can't. I fully believe in ghosts and I also believe there were plenty in the house I grew up in (a exbf who calmed to have 'the sight' told me there were ghosts in my house but he refused to tell me anything about...

No we all now that the belly is very sensitive spot for a cat. Non-owners don't see to get that, I had a friends who would always said 'I tried to tickle his tummy and he tried to bite my hand off', to which I would always reply, 'well he's not a dog', after this she always went off in a huff...

As a baby before he learned that biting was bad, Max used to bite mum a lot, he's never bitten me even an this point. But I think in a thread like this we need to decide what constitutes biting. My fiance's cat Fred was at a rescue cos his previous owner claimed that he bit, now my fiance has...

I was going to say Tripod but its already been suggested. He is beautiful.

My mum already had two cats when I was born. I can't think of anything particularly unusual about our cats they were mother and son, Bourney only had half a tail, she had lost it on a train line nearby to where she lived when she was much younger, had been rescued by a lady who took her to the...

Selima. If Max had been a girl he would have been called Selima. Quite sad but i found it in a poem about a cat called Selima who falls in a fish pond and drowns. A poem from which two very famous sayings are derived, 'all the glisters is not gold' and 'What female heart could gold despise, what...
