Well, I bit the bullet last night and told my landlord about the boys. I explained how I found them and nursed them back to health and that I had been trying to find a home for them without success, and now I wanted to keep them. He was not happy, but he did say they were very pretty. He also made some remarks about my cats always needing a vet, whereas his Sisco (the cat we all feed in the garden) has never been to the vet in 11 years! (I didn't tell him I had secretly taken Sisco to be neutered and wormed, apart from feeding him antibiotics when he got in a fight last year).

So part of me feels relieved and delighted and part wonders how I am going to cope with five cats - I always said three was my limit. But the boys seem healthy now (they are still on Baytrim to clear up last infections of parasites) and they are getting on well with the others, Ellie has even started grooming them. Now I must get the paperwork done for them to come with us to our furever home in France next spring.

Here is another picture:

W/ the best cats

I guess Wellington and Napoleon need to learn French now.

"Je suis si heureux pour vous. Les fÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]licitations sur votre nouvelle maison"
I hope it's correct. I am trying to learn some French myself in preparation for a visit to my sis in QC, Canada.

Congratulations, Jenny!


I am so pleased that you have decided to keep Wellington and Napoleon! They really are beautiful and thanks to your love and care, healthy!


I am sure you'll manage with five kitties just fine! I'm sure they'll help you out from time to time, too!


I'm so pleased that they got to have a wonderful meowmy and family to love and care for them!

Congratulations to you and the boys! You'll have plenty of room for them in France, and this way they get to stay together. I don't think you'll regret keeping them.

Really what's the difference between 3 cats and 5 cats (at least that is what I say!!)
So whose the one on top???-Those are some good sized paws and going to end up being a big cat!!
Just a couple more to take up room on the bed and keep you warm at night.

Congrats on your little boys. And thanks for helping Sisco even though you landlord is ignorant on the care of cats.

They are just so precious, and it sounds as right as it feels to you, for you to keep them, imho
I am happy for all of you - what a neat little cat family they make
