Hello to everyone, I have been reading over the last week or so a lot of the threads on this forum - especially 'behaviour' section and I have learned so much. I had 2 kittens years ago in my first home but had to re-home them when I moved back with my parents, they went to a lovely home, but now I realise looking back I left them to be cats and didn't look on them as a family as I was young and not maternal I suppose.
Anyhow, now I have 3 young children 5, 7 & 9 - and a beautiful kitty called Gizmo who is a cross Ragdoll. She is beautiful - I tried to take a few quick shots of her tonight but it is a wee bit dark, I will post better ones over the next few days taken during daylight! Meanwhile :

I hope they are enough to see what a beauty she really is
and she knows it !! She has beautiful big blue eyes and is 8 weeks old, she is stripy and was quite dark when she first arrived but now her stripes are becoming silver and dark but she has a dark stripe running down her back still - ooohh shes just lovely.
Also, I read a thread this morning about partner's not liking the cat and I want to share our story - My partner has swore blind for TWO years that he HATES cats - would never have one in the house, he loved to say "if they are the size of a dog they eat you so what does that say about them?" He was the doggiest person you could think of - loves ALL animals but was a doggie. Then.......<dramatic pause> I waited till he was merry on wine and talked him into letting me get a cat on my birthday weekend. So last Wednesday night I arrived home with 'Gizmo' complete with toys, food dishes, bed, litter etc. etc. etc. and he shook his head and said you must have spent hundereds
<dramatic pause> I gently laid down the cat carrier (new aswell
) and slowly lifted ickle Gizzy out for the first time. He said - "Well I suppose if I'd seen a wee thing like her I would have brought her home too". This was the cat also that would NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be sleeping in our bedroom - only for after 2 hours of petting and meeting her he ventured - "She is a little small - we'll let her in the bedroom for a few nights just till she gets used to the house and the noises" ----- She is still there
Lastly, the next morning I was working 9 - 3, so left little Giz in the kitchen safe with new blanket, new basket, toys, food etc, left house at 8:40 - dropped kids at school, arrived at work and there was an email from him - how was Gizmo when you left her ? What do you think she is doing ? Do you think she is ok ? So I put in for an early finish as he made me paranoid and finished at 12 noon. I emailed him before I left but got no reply which was strange <HUGE dramatic pause>
I arrived home at approx 12:20 and THERE HE WAS home from work, decided to take a half day
he says "I couldn't stop thinking about the kitten"
"but as I was car sharing this morning I had to get 2 buses home" <swoon> if my arm was hanging off he wouldn't get 2 buses home to me
but little Miss Gizzy-Whizzy drops in and within 12 hours he's making mad dashes home to check she's ok!!!! Now THAT is a dog person for you.
Hehe she loves her Daddy sooooo much, but she loves Mummy more............but then she loves the 3 munchkins even more than me
Will try some new pics tomorrow
