Thank you both, OH has alredy told him (while snuggle on the flor with him) that he has big shoes to fill

I'd forgoten how delicate they are and am frightened of hurting him, like I was with Ern being on our bed, till you lot said not to worry. Goingto have him in our room at night -well see how it goes--

We have a visiting older kitten and would happily of had one the same age as him but got overruled Grin. He will grow soon enough

Oldraver · 03/08/2020 13:20

Visiting cat is barred for a while but hopefully they can be friends when vaccinations are complete

TheLongRider · 03/08/2020 14:02

Enjoy the kitten snuggles. He'll be a magnificent beast one day.

Well we have a development.

OH and I had really wanted to call him Malcolm and even though we have been working on him for a while he vetoed it. He's now been playing with him and has come round 🤣

I was just about to sort his insurance as well

Oldraver · 03/08/2020 15:13

Sorry .... DS vetoed the name Malcolm

YetAnotherSpartacus · 03/08/2020 15:15

Sorry - I prefer Colin! :)

Bargebill19 · 03/08/2020 15:32

Colin is lovely. In cat form as well as the name. !!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 03/08/2020 17:22

I concur with Bargebill and Spartacus.

Colin is a brilliant name for a (very cute) cat Grin.

TheLongRider · 03/08/2020 17:25

I used to have a ginger-haired boss called Malcolm. I think it's a lovely name for a ginger cat!Grin

Well th discussion went on. DS isnt as keen on Malcom but likes Malc/Malkie which OH doesnt.

So he's been insured with the name Colin Malcolm Grin

So think we're back to Colin, so Colin it is 3especially if the LT concur

I will tell OH who laughs about the cats online presence

Colin Malcolm looks lovely and very settled Oldraver. YetAnotherSpartacus put it perfectly.

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 03/08/2020 19:53

Is it just me that's been really lucky (so far) or are fleas not really an issue this summer?

None of mine, both outdoor and indoor, seem to have them Hmm

I can honestly say that I haven't seen a single one this year 🎆🎈🎉

Anyone else?

RedKittyCat · 03/08/2020 20:03

@Oldraver. How about Gerald or Ray? (A guy called Gerald - Voodoo Ray). You might be a younger raver than me though.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 03/08/2020 20:12

@WheresThatCatGoneNow

Would you some of ours?

RedKittyCat · 03/08/2020 20:16

@Oldraver ignore that Colin Malcom is a magnificent name! Glad everyone agreed in the end Grin

RedKittyCat · 03/08/2020 20:16

...... but now you need to get another and call it Ray

EachandEveryone · 03/08/2020 20:54

Oh Colin is lovely, where did you get him from was he an only? I hope you have loads of good times with him.

EachandEveryone · 03/08/2020 20:57

Mine are fine. Ginger stray comes in through the kitchen window now as soon as he hears me feeding them.

@RedKittyCat, Ray did crop up but as it was my birth fathers name was vetoed. I'm a Hard House Raver and very nearly called my son Farley then considered it for Ernie

@EachandEveryone he was from a litter of four other three had gone, someone who works at my OH's work. It seems a hotbed of cat lovers, one ladt has just got a Ragdoll kitten. It was her who found my Mitsi cat on the road and moved him which we were grateful for. OH's boss (who clashes..ahem) came and said he was sorry to hear about our Ernie, OH said yes sorry about your cat as well, were the boss gor emotional and got out pictures of his Miane Coon,and said he's not ready for another.

He spent the night on the bed with us mostly snuggle into my side. I woke up sweating and had to move him sohe then snuggled under my arm. I was woken at 5.15 with him playing and biting though OH said he'd woken before

He is a live wire, seems very happy but I am concerned he hasnt eaten. I bought the kitten food the same as he was on (Applaws) but he's not bothered at all. I changed to a diffrent bowl. He has drunk ans poo-ed ans wee-ed yesterday and we-ed this morning.

He's just going off to sleep in a (different bed) and if he doesnt eat when he gets up will go to the vets as I think they do samples.

But any suggestions welcome

Oldraver · 04/08/2020 07:13

Trying out the different bed

What's your DCat up to today? (Thread 8)
EachandEveryone · 04/08/2020 10:28

Is that a baby chair? Goodness me they must be cat mad if the are feeding applaws! Do you reckon they will get her neutered? I font know what to suggest as the adult versions of that dont have taurine put in it. Daphne was on Royal Canin when she came but i soon switched. Not many of them do kitten food. Are you on zooplus? They have a few on there and if you are going to use dry as well. Purizon is a really good one and it comes in kitten age. Sainsburys own wet is grainfree and it comes in kitten. Mine liked Lilys Kitchen. Now they are on AGAIL i cant fight with them i just make sure their dry is 80% meat.

Oldraver · 04/08/2020 11:00

Yes the chair is DS's old moon chair I made a cover for. Ernie took it over until he got too big, so got it out for Colin

He had been in and turned around in his bought bed. He seems to like the teddy bear mattress cover I cut up at the moment, but it's early days. You know how fickle they are

Well we found the ideal bowl and now DS got him to eat from the proper bowl

Oldraver · 04/08/2020 11:01

Oh shit that was not the picture I meant too post 😂
