Hi

I recently gained my first ever cats.

Mabel is a stray/feral, we are fairly certain she has been abused (more scared of men than women) and a vet check confirms old injuries consistent with being thrown out of a car. Anyway, we got her spayed and have released her back into the garage as she wasn't happy in the house, though she still comes to the back door and yells for food every night!

I also got her son, a kitten about 6 weeks old (10 weeks old now) that I called Indy after the adventurous Dr Jones. He is an absolute darling and now very much a people cat. He is being kept as an indoor cat as when I move he is going with me to a city and I think it would be cruel to let him get used to outdoors living and then restrict him.

here's a couple of piccies

Indy and Mabel when still uncaught strays


Indy now he's my baby and such a sweetheart


oh my name is Cat btw
(Catherine) ironic, huh?!

Hello & welcome to tcs. Your kitties are gorgeous. Glad Indy is an indoor only cat with that lovely pink nose. Don't want him to get skin cancer. Look forward to see more pics & hear more about them.

Awww! Welcome to TCS! Mamma cat looks like a Siamese mix! So, when you move, what will happen to her? She's accustomed to being fed by you.

if Mabel decides to like me she may come too, if she still likes being outside too much then my mum will continue to feed her, I currently live with my parents til I get a decent job.

here's a slightly better pic of Mabel, with red-eye :p

Indy is too cute for words. Welcome to all 3 of you. I like the name Mabel, it is such a sweet name for a cat.

to TCS! Indy is adorable, and Mabel might still come round and decide to move inside.
