Update on Colin

[Mouseinahole]

9 weeks old now :)

He's so cute!

The breeder says he is very naughty and very active eeeeek!

He looks as if he's going to be a very.......determined........sort of cat.

He's ADORABLE. He's got trouble writ all over him though.

Oh Yes. If ever you could describe a look as 'pugnacious', he has it.

Asbo has the same expression. It's the "I'm going to be naughty and you can't do anything because I have tenure" look.

And he's right!

How's your willpower, Mouse?

Oh gosh I'm terrified now! I said to the breeder,'Are you trying to scare me?' Her reply was,'No, just being honest!'
I also said that I thought kittens slept 20 hours a day, I remember being worried that Trevor slept so much.
'Some do...'
Oh heck!!

No need to be terrified at all. In my experience, the naughty ones are usually the bright ones which is great fun.

Just prepare yourself to talk to him a lot. And book that 4 month vet appointment for Pom Pom relinquishment.

Good morning from Trevor :)

He looks 'all grown up' now.

How old is he at the moment?

Trevor will be 6 months old tomorrow. He is still very kittenish in his behaviour. He is very affectionate with us but he hides from visitors which is a bit unfortunate.

He's a beautiful cat, lovely markings. I like his expression in the photo.

Until he came to live with us, all I really remember of Seniorboy was this pale backside retreating quickly down a long corridor.

As long as he's OK with the family.

I don't mind ours hiding from guests, sometimes I'd like to do the same but dh can't fathom the espresso machine.

They are both scrumptious.

Oh wow he is gorgeous!!

Well we had a big family do at the weekend. The grandchildren (7-18) were desperate to meet Trevor. He spent the whole time under the sofa. He came out when it was just dh or me but otherwise the most to be seen was the tip of a tail.

Remember that sort of thing well. Don't worry about it. They'll likely just accept that he's 'unsociable' as a fact of life.

They'll have to visit more often one by one, bring cake to facilitate sit down conversation & earn his trust.

He's obviously not a cat who's going to give it up that easily.

After all, his 'family' are you and DH. As far as he's concerned, the DGCs are likely just a bunch of noisemakers.

They've gone!!

How long did it take between them leaving and him getting up there.
