After my lovely old girl passed on we decided to get a rescue cat. He's arrived home today from the centre and is currently checking out everywhere.

Blimey he's big!!

By my reckoning you still have three photos left you could post.

::taps foot::

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 25/08/2015 19:05

Grin he's taking a 'timeout' in the laundry at present. Will try when he reappears...

Oh, he's back, has eaten and is now sprawled out in the living room

Well he's certainly got all four paws under the table hasn't he?.

MrsHathaway · 25/08/2015 19:52

Yes, he knows he's on to a good thing with you! Lovely pictures.

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 26/08/2015 08:29

Well, I don't know where he's got to this morning. Still, kitty litter has been used and food eaten so there's a cat here somewhere...

Lulu has settled in beautifully thanks Ship - her real character is coming out and she is very playful ! I am beginning to wish I called her Madam Mim! She will not stay for cuddles if I have my phone in my hand as it means she doesn't have two hands on her. She knocked my phone out of my hand last night in disgust Smile

I can't remember what my house was like without her!

Wolfy is so handsome.

Northumberlandlass · 26/08/2015 08:39

Lulu sprawling this morning!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 26/08/2015 08:42

Bless her, what a sweetheart!

I have a feeling that Wolfy is going be a right character. And we can also see signs that he has been in a nice home before. He knows what a fridge is, for example!

Northumberlandlass · 26/08/2015 08:46

I am sure he will reveal his true nature in a short while!
He looks very content Ship

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 26/08/2015 08:54

Windowsills, didn't think of looking there... He's up and about!

All through our process of adopting I was thinking of you and loulou. Your's is a lovely story.

It's worked out better than I could've imagined Ship Smile
Although I'm taking her to vets for a check up tonight, we'll see if she's still talking to me later!

MrsHathaway · 26/08/2015 09:26

Ours are under a kitchen unit (one kick plate missing) but there was a lovely present in the litter immediately after I changed it Hmm

These happy cats are doing wonders for my state of mind. Although making me slightly murderous about people who deliberately abandon their pets.

OnlyLovers · 26/08/2015 09:29

Lulu is gorgeous. So fluffy!

God I want a cat.

SevenOfNineTrue · 26/08/2015 09:35

What a beautiful cat. He seems very at home already.

If you've not done so already, I'd recommend a check up at the vets to see everything is OK. I do this with my rescue cats.

cozietoesie · 26/08/2015 12:21

He's a great boy - and I think he has you all under the paw already?

Northumberlandlass · 26/08/2015 19:46

How is Wolfy Ship?

I've just had Lulu at vets for a check over & she's perfectly healthy Smile
Lulu has taken herself upstairs under bed in spare room & won't even look at me!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 26/08/2015 20:06

He is sitting on my lap just now, definitely likes a lap to sit on!
More exploring and lots of sprawling out on the spare bed today Smile

Poor Loulou! It's a rude awakening, going to the vet!

Awww how lovely to get cuddles!
I hope Lulu will make an appearance before the night is through, I want cuddles!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 26/08/2015 20:27

Bribery is a good route to forgiveness!

Northumberlandlass · 26/08/2015 21:56

So nearly two hours have gone & she has come down mewing & yowling at at me. That's me told.

At least I've been allowed cuddles!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 27/08/2015 07:48

Big fluffy beast has decided to sit on my 8 year old son's lap this morning.

Apart from looking massively cute it's a big moment as my old girl would never let the kids near her and they have always wanted a cat that actually liked them!

OP posts:
Northumberlandlass · 27/08/2015 08:30

Ah that's lovely! go Wolfy. The kids must be over the moon.
I was woken by mewing & pawing of my face at 5am Grin I believe I am still being punished for the vet trip. Although it did mean an early cuddle.

Notmeagain1 · 28/08/2015 23:28

Congratulations on Wolfie and LouLou. They both are very, very beautiful and are luck to have picked you both Ship and North!

I just love when they become lapcats. (mine is in bed with me asleep on my belly her favorite place to sleep at night.)
