Baby Cat!

[RubbishMantra]

Just wanted to share the adorable cuteness of the future addition to our family. Have to wait until mid June before he can come home.

I reckon that that is called 'training your new owner' ! (My boys have always tried that on with me but probably without realizing that after years of Siamese, I'm stronger willed even than they are.) I wouldn't worry about it though if he's had his vet checks - some cats just much prefer wet food and if that's OK by you, then all is good.

Good about him and Mcat although a bummer about the fleas - probably a good idea to let the breeder know in a gentle way. They should be calm about being told about fleas if they're a decent breeder but sending a kit away with a case of them is not such good news.

How's his poo doing?

[cozietoesie]

PS - if you've got spare kibble around, try putting it in a food foraging toy to make it fun? You can make them yourself or buy a cheap and cheerful plastic one online or in a store.

Are you meant to soften the biscuits? Mine wouldn't eat them & when I read the pack its said to soften them.

[RubbishMantra]

Poo still a tad squishy cozie, but no squits I kind of expected that as he's been getting used to a new wet food. Am putting a little water in it to make sure he remains nicely hydrated.

I've tried moistening his biscuits Fluffy, still not interested. I'll pick up a few sample pouches from PaH next time I go there, see if I can tempt him with something else.

Here's a photo of him playing with his feet - it's difficult to take a picture of him, as he's either tearing about or asleep on me

[cozietoesie]

I'd have said he was playing with his tail. (It's called the 'Let me pin it down and see if it will try to move' game - hours of endless fun!) Human kids are at a distinct disadvantage by not having one.

The poo sounds OK. You'd expect a likely small change after a different home, diet and water - and no squits sounds promising.

Oh, he is properly gorgeous, isn't he......

[RubbishMantra]

Thank you Psypher

Yup cozie, he starts playing with feet, he has very long, lanky back legs, then gets distracted by his tail...

Here he is, getting confused by feet and tails again

[CatteLady]

He's gorgeous. Looks like a real character too!

[RubbishMantra]

Thank you Catte

Here he is being a bumblebee

He's now snoozing on my lap after spending all afternoon beating up a paper bag. He is mental.

He's just delightful, and Mcat is now becoming fond of him and deigning to play with him.

[cozietoesie]

Lovely wee soul - and I'm pleased that Mantracat is becoming fond of him. How old is MC ? (I forget.)

[something2say]

Moar pictures!!!

[RubbishMantra]

MC is coming up to four cozie, so still a baby himself really. He's snoozing next to us on the sofa.

Moar pictures!!! Why not something Here is the devilishly handsome MC and a sleepy MK.

[cozietoesie]

He's only a young cat then - he'll likely enjoy some playing.

[Fluffycloudland77]

MC looks quite rakish.

[PumpkinsMummy]

squeee he is amazing! I have a smoky tortie devon, they are the most fabulous cats. The noises they make are the best! My girl isn't as affectionate as your boy tho, it's all on her terms and she prefers DH (the little traitor, she obviously doesn't know how hard I pestered him for her) but she is so soft and lovely when she deigns to cuddle me. Oh, and keep the pics coming please!!

[RubbishMantra]

Thank you for the squee. Lovely to hear from somebody else who has a Devon. They really are the most sweet, self assured/chilled out little beings aren't they? A brilliant companion to my neurotic moggie with behavioural issues

And yes, MC most definitely enjoying some tearing about the house with MK. furry buggers woke me up They are having a noisy great game with an empty cigarette packet and a large and noisy paper bag. Clearly much better than their vast selection of toys...

They are now having a staring competition, chasing up and down stairs, wrestling match mash up. It's like watching a feline martial arts movie! And I don't even mind that they woke me up two hours before my alarm...

[RubbishMantra]

Here he is posing in his new threads, and checking out his new snuggle bag.
