I seem to have acquired a cat

I didn't like cats but then I turned into some kind of cat whisperer with my neighbours cats trailing after me and feral cats jumping in my lap
I have gone to the dark side and reserved a cat from cats protection Hmm
He's black and has FIV as well as being a flu carrier so he will be indoor cat. Obviously no sane person was going to take him. So yes, I'm off to buy half of the pet shop

He's sulking today. Apparently two pouches for breakfast is starvation

Omg, that cat luffs his mama Halloween Grin

I think you should send that picture to the rescue. (They'd rehome every cat there!)

That pic is fab. What a sweetheart!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 28/10/2015 09:23

Oh that's just adorable! Smile

cozietoesie · 28/10/2015 10:39

I appreciate that you may want to preserve a reasonable degree of anonymity, good, but I really think that that picture could turn around the fortunes of the poor neglected back cats out there. Who could resist it?

Are there any cat photo competitions you might be entering it for?

hollinhurst84 · 28/10/2015 13:15

Oh I'm not anon on here (obviously!) as I don't post anything beyond cats and beauty products Grin
Have sent it to CPL

hollinhurst84 · 28/10/2015 14:58

My hooman got me a collar. I look silly Grin

Grin
cozietoesie · 28/10/2015 19:22

Well I think he looks very debonair.

(Although I'm not at all certain that that look on his face isn't saying 'So what infernal contraption is this?' How long did it stay on for? Grin)

hollinhurst84 · 28/10/2015 19:25

He's still wearing it! He has a look like well my human is stupid but she's mine so I will tolerate her

Fluffycloudland77 · 28/10/2015 19:27

It'll be a tu-tu next.

hollinhurst84 · 28/10/2015 19:28

I did briefly contemplate a hoodie

hollinhurst84 · 31/10/2015 22:42

Happy cat!

Hows he doing with the fireworks? our neighbours have left their puppy alone in the house tonight. I want to give them a piece of my mind.

hollinhurst84 · 31/10/2015 22:54

Sat on the windowsill watching them Hmm
Again with the "I picked a weird cat"

cozietoesie · 31/10/2015 23:04

Yes - there have been a lot of fireworks tonight. Has Halloween taken over from 5th November as Fireworks Time?

(Seniorboy has roundly ignored them all.)

VenusRising · 31/10/2015 23:07

My god, he's stunning.
And he adores you, it's a match made in heaven.

Flowers [catnip]

hollinhurst84 · 01/11/2015 22:37

Cozie - I think you may be right about the Siamese. He never, ever shuts up. And he cries when I get in until I cuddle him if I have been out at work Confused

timtam23 · 01/11/2015 22:39

Isn't he the most beautiful cat!

hollinhurst84 · 01/11/2015 22:41

Thank you. I am asleep on my hooman after chatting away for HOURS Hmm

Snotty cat Sad
Vet given different antibiotics and an anti inflammatory jab
He's taken himself off to my bed

cozietoesie · 03/11/2015 22:58

Lovely lovely boy. Lots of heat is a good idea for him so taking himself off to your bed is probably the best thing. Smile

hollinhurst84 · 03/11/2015 22:59

I just spent 5 minutes holding up a YouTube video of fish for him Hmm
Batshit crazy Grin
