Just had to share - next week - not sure exactly when yet - we're adopting a cat! We have 2 cats and a dog, but this wee cat has been in the rescue since June and needs a home where she can go outside. I'm really hoping she'll settle with the cats and dog. The rescue centre will take her back if she doesn't settle, but I really hope it won't come to that.
She's called Winnie, I'll post a photo when she's here

Cozie she's been rehomed once to a family with young children and became a bit grumpy, attacking ankles. Dd is 13 and used to handling cats, so I think we can cope with grumpiness 
Also she couldn't go out with the other family. I hope she'll settle.
We're going over on Monday to see her

Ah, that's lovely you're taking on a grumpy cat.
The ankle attacks may well have been because the other family couldn't let her out. MCat used to do the same. Something he did to amuse himself during the time he was kept in until he was neutered. He doesn't do it anymore. He's very loving in fact.
His facial expression used to be one of despot-ish disdain. Now he looks at us sort of lovingly.

That's what I'm hoping We live on a quiet residential street in a small village opposite a field, so once she can go out she'll love it.

Well, she's here! We collected her yesterday and she's gorgeous. Currently still residing with my dd in her room before meeting the other pets, but quite happy in there at the moment. She's very cuddly, just wants to be stroked, to play, to curl up on the bed with my dd
