Some of you have been so helpful in talking me down from spunking 500 quid on a fancy cat, and I think I've got that particular potential folly out my system. For now.
But I still can't find a suitable moggie that can cope with our kids and energetic young cat!
I found a ginger kitten near me on gumtree for £0, but the advertiser is not replying 
There's lots of other kittens on gumtree but I'm really not keen on encouraging people to let their moggies get pregnant for cash. Some of the adverts give me the rage 
I had a long interview chat with the local cat rescue lady - nothing, nada, nowt.
So, free to good home type thing, or a small amount. Not £145 for an ordinary mog! 
Our criteria:
- needs to be able to cope with being pounced on by our playful and energetic 1 yr old car
- can live with 3 kids (youngest is 3 and lots of rescues won't rehome kittens if there's kids under 5)
Please help me, I'm going cross eyed from looking!
