The board is full of depressing threads - any one a thread to share our bonkers animals 😁

This was taken last year. We were waiting to leave the house but we didn’t want to disturb her 😂😂 She was flat out 😁

@Barefootsally dont tell her but she’s not a pure breed, she’s ragdoll - cross blue- cross moggie. Absolutely beautiful cats

This tuxie girl is very special. As a stray kitten she survived panleucopenia, which is around 95% fatal. She's affectionate, but spicy, and extremely intelligent. Exactly the sort of cat that would survive the street. It took me 1 year after rescuing her for her to get a clean bill of health, after which her vet officially diagnosed her as "one tough cat".

The calico is her opposite, she's pure sugar, a darling of a cat, but not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. The only thing she's ever succesfully hunted is a piece of wafer thin ham.

I can't get over the wafer thin ham comment 🤣🤣🤣 gorgeous kitties

I lost my beautiful ginge in March to heart failure, but on Monday I am picking up a cat from the RSPCA. He has been a street cat for 8 years and I'm so worried that he won't like me!

iloveeverykindofcat · 15/06/2024 09:37

@User18652579096431 she was very proud. I adore her, but I can't she's an intelligent cat. She's lovely, but the other one runs rings around her. The difference is very obvious.

He was a bit of a swine with her at first but as soon as she was done it settled down. Now he won’t eat hid food until she has started 😁

I’ve long suspected it….

The entire litter was white and exactly the same no flecks of colours so I suspect maybe Siamese as she has an angular face and slim body

She was a white ball of fluff when we got her 😁

A rubber ducky isopod. We have 13 different species of isopods, but these are my favourite.

this is so awesome, I have never heard of these but I have been googling, and they look amazing! tell us more, names, personalities, diet, life span, etc. please!

thenewaveragebear1983 · 15/06/2024 10:01

@Barefootsally oooh yes she does have a touch of Siamese doesn’t she? Ragdolls do deepen their colours as they age though. Ours was pure cream as a kitten, but she’s quite a dark brown in places now at age 4.
she has the ragdoll brains though, and the stumpy legs- all in all meaning she is not equipped for outdoor living.

Yes my boy has gotten darker. He had a dark darkish grey coming through on his back and tail.

Neither go out as I’m worried they would get beat up or pinched!

Do you know what your boy weighs?

@robinsnest1967 Oh that’s so nice. How long has he been on the streets? I’d be so excited x

@robinsnest1967 Sorry, just reread, 8 years. That’s a long time.

Ah I’m sorry to hear that 💐

Id love to know how street cat settles in. Would you do a post on the litter tray and keep us updated?
