Think we need a bigger cat..... recommendations for a large family one?

Just that, really.

When it was just DD1, we had a 5 seater Toyota for me, and 5 seat Skoda for DH ( yes, we do love our flash autos!).

But with the DTs coming along, I think we need to raid savings for a bigger cat.... sigh! Recommendations?

Make sure it has a catalytic convertor.

Wow, Classics! If I can't buy a lion car, at least I have this....

I'd never have a cat whose poo was bigger than my hand

As life mottos go, that one seems as sensible as any.

I've been on FWR too long - I thought it was going to be a deletion followed by spankings all round :).

Hi there everyone,

We can see you've all had a great time on this thread - we're moving it over to classics now!

MikeUniformMike · 11/08/2018 14:12

Ford Kuga or Jaguar F-pace, although you might get away with a Seat Leon.

Sorry, I’m all out of big pussy jokes, but this thread has been gold.

OP, I have 18m old twins and a 3 year old who all fit brilliantly in our Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. All in ERF seats (though only a limited few fit due to the underfloor storage boxes). The car is a lovely drive and great spec for newer second hand models at reasonable prices, unlike a lot of other mpvs we looked at.

Definitely catbus. Or a Maine coon.

A friend of mine who had a toddler and then twins has a SEAT Alhambra - still doing well as the kids are aged 4 and 18mo.

ScreamingValenta · 11/08/2018 07:54

I've got the very thing for you!

I agree that Catbus is the perfect solution.

Elephant14 · 11/08/2018 00:06

Johnny no! I would not hint at your pussy being larger than it should, after all, you are looking for a bigger one. Your sounds ... compact.

This just popped up on my Facebook, how odd!

Just spent a very happy few minutes crying with laughter at some of the responses! DH thinks I'm very odd, he just didn't find it that funny when I showed him!

ILoveDolly · 10/08/2018 22:04

I'm glad the Cat Bus from Totoro has featured, he is the perfect synthesis of OP intention and result!
Carwise I'd recommend the Ford SMax, very reliable and spacious, I find it easy to drive and manoever.

DentistWimp · 10/08/2018 21:58

@JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff

Nonsense, OP, they’d get on fine!

Holy fuck, my horse would SHIT his pants at this. There’d be horse shaped holes in every fence from here to the next continent!

Haha 😂 GrinGrin

Thought this was a cat thread

Didn’t read the op...never mind the full thread.

Dowser · 10/08/2018 20:42

Oh wow...that ginger cat driving the car is practically my Arthur
God rest his furry little soul 😢

Dowser · 10/08/2018 20:40

Our red self Persian Arthur, was huge

Would that be any good.
Don’t go for a chinchilla...beautiful ...but very fine boned...wouldn’t grow very big at all!

StripySocksAndDocs · 10/08/2018 20:29

I think you'd probably have to exercise big cats. Take them for walks and what not. Cheetahs could be awkward here. Though I think they are my favourite big cat.

Feckitall · 10/08/2018 20:26

Bugger that didn't work...

You can stay out of my spacious pussy area though, bad enough fending off bloody DH

Well Elephants I must admit that since the twins arrived my pussy is more spacious but I'm hoping exercise will tone it up.
