And I’m very very very excited!

We had our boy put down 2 years ago today but today went to visit a potential rescue cat. I have been approved and she comes at the weekend. 😻😻😻

I can’t bloody wait to have a cat on my lap again.

Sorry about the lose of your old boy, enjoy the love and hugs from your new girl 🐯 I'm sure she will be very spoilt and happy with you.

helpfulperson · 25/11/2020 20:19

What age, sex, colour etc? I'm assuming you don't have a photo or you would have posted that😀

Purplecatshopaholic · 25/11/2020 20:24

Aw congrats op. Cant wait to see a few pics.

ShipshapeShore · 25/11/2020 20:25

Congratulations on your impending role as cat slave Grin. Cats are the best, I love having a mog or three around!

Sidge · 25/11/2020 20:26

Thank you @Loveatortie he had a saddle thrombus and was only 6 😢

I’ve got a photo @helpfulperson I shall try and post it now! It won’t seem to upload.

She’s a gorgeous little black girl, they think she’s about 2.

Sorry for the loss of your cat- 6 is no age, is it?

But congrats on your new house pantheress. She's lovely. What will her name be?

Allergictoironing · 25/11/2020 20:45

Panthers are Da Bestest! I say that as the slave of 2 Grin

Sidge · 25/11/2020 20:51

She’s currently called Cookie but no doubt she’ll acquire a dozen nicknames.

Our boy left a big cat shaped hole in our lives, I can’t wait to fill it again. I’m BEYOND excited.

Will she remain a Cookie? Am sure it makes no difference, cats only respond when it suits, anyway.

Have you been saving cardboard boxes?

TheSpottedZebra · 25/11/2020 21:05

I was just under 2 years without cat,after my previous 2 died in quick succession. The longest I'd been in my adult life without a pet! I rehomed 2 kittens just before Covid, and it was really the luckiest timing.

LongPauseNoAnswer · 25/11/2020 21:06

She is gorgeous, black cats really are the best. Congratulations OP 🎉

AnneShirleyOfAvonlea · 25/11/2020 21:06

Sad news about your old cat but how lovely to be getting a new one to love. Hope she settles in the little beauty

Mumdiva99 · 25/11/2020 21:11

Hi new cat mummy. Congratulations on the impending arrival of Cookie. Silky and Bobby (not in the picture) say Hi.

Sidge · 25/11/2020 21:31

Thanks for all the love 😻😻 and the fabulous catty pics.

@TheSpottedZebra I did wonder if I could get away with changing her name, but figured like most cats she’ll end up being called a dozen things and will only respond if she feels like it anyway...

Gorgeous girlie. And so sorry you lost your last one so young - that happened to me a few years ago, it’s devastating. I have three rescues. Attached is Purplecat number 3 sitting on a Christmas present and trying to claim it as hers!

HaHaVeryBunny · 30/11/2020 09:09

*beautiful

Fluffycloudland77 · 30/11/2020 10:03

She is lovely, Beautiful topaz eyes. Has she decided who her favourite person is yet?.

Sidge · 30/11/2020 11:56

I thought she’d hide for days, until she got used to us but nope, had a good old roam around the house then made herself comfy wherever she fancies!

She’s partial to DD3 (age 14) but loves me too as she lies half on me/half next to me purring. 😻😻

Vinorosso74 · 30/11/2020 20:22

She's beautiful! Lovely to see she's settling in so well.
