I rescued this gorgeous beast today!

I took a bit of a gamble. Our old cat passed away in November and I have really felt her absence. We have 2 other much younger cats, but I really missed the dynamic of 3 cats.
I saw this boy, aged 8, who needed a home due to the owners poor health. He was in a local place that really don't vet owners so I wanted to make sure he had a good home.
Collected him at lunch time, and my god he is amazing, so naughty and vocal, but just the best! I've confined him to the living room, but he really is the least arsed cat I've ever met Grin. He has wanted aaaaaall the attention and strokes from the second he was in my car. The big beast actually broke the cat carrier and escaped whilst I'm doing 60mph on a dual carriage way. He then proceeded to shove himself under my feet as I'm driving. I don't even know how I made it home quite frankly.
He walked in like he owned the place. Ate all the cat treats, monopolised the cat toys, did a big stinky shit (I have never smelled anything quite so repugnant!) and then has meowed the rest of the day for attention, and demanding kisses.
He is just gorgeous. I love him! He is everything I wanted in a cat! My other 2 are females and are very aloof. Well, one is, the other is DP's floozy Wink. This one is my turn for a cat to love me!

Just got to do the introductions at some stage. Just hope it goes well!

You'll be cussing Custard!

I’m seeing a Sir Wotsit 😹

Rosso for Red, or Kevin, as in the carrot.

Els1e · 14/03/2021 09:25

He is lovely and looks totally at home. Good decision OP. Love all the names too but I think Jasper really suits him

YetAnotherSpartacus · 14/03/2021 09:56

Any more photos of the gorgeous red beast OP?

TheLongRider · 14/03/2021 10:00

Rory - Anglicisation of Ruarí - it means red king.

JeffTheOracle · 14/03/2021 10:05

I like Custard or Ken for him. What a lovely chap!

TroysMammy · 14/03/2021 10:10

This has made me smile. Hopefully you will occasionally post in the Litter Tray with what he gets up to. He looks a character.

Longdistance · 14/03/2021 10:12

Larry, because he’s as happy as Larry.

He’s gorgeous 😻

Ive been trying to post since yesterday. 100th time lucky?! MN is really playing up for me....

Mr handsome! He is just so lovely! He has stayed under the chair for most of the day until the Very Noisy Children went to bed! He popped out a few times for strokes before retreating!
He has now spotted my other two cats and was totally friendly towards them, dropping down on his side and rolling on the floor to them. Other two cats are NOT HAPPY on the other hand. One less so than the other, who is the much friendlier of the two, which surprised me. Just hope harmony will resume eventually 🤞. Sloooooow introductions. At least he is happy with the other cats!!

He's gorgeous! I love a ginger. We have a big chunky tiger of a boy and he is the best.

hilariousnamehere · 14/03/2021 13:30

Oh he's excellent! And clearly knows he's landed on his feet with you 😍

RedRosie · 14/03/2021 13:31

That is one handsome bugger. He looks like a Fudge to me. I love ginger cats and am very jealous. I hope the introductions go well.

scottishmama86 · 14/03/2021 14:23

Oh he's beautiful. It's so lovely to hear of an older cat being rescued and being given such a loving home. Hope the other cats come round!

dorothy3 · 14/03/2021 14:30

Omg op that third pic. I can't. So so beautiful. Such a lovely round face and sparkly eyes.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/03/2021 14:48

Ahh

With that 'tasche and his obvious love of luxury , there's only one name ...

Freddie ( as in Mr Mercury obvs) Grin

As regards introductions to other cats, when we brought our most recent kitten home our youngest cat moaned for four days solid before realising that he had a new playmate. They've been firm friends ever since but at the time he was a total drama queen for four days. He'd march into the room all chatty to the humans, spot the kitten, start growling and huff out of the room again. Give it time...

Buddywoo · 14/03/2021 15:22

There's just something about ginger boys. They are so affectionate and seem to respond a bit like dogs. He is gorgeous.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/03/2021 15:24

He's got a Terry-Thomas look to me Grin.

Hercule or Hercules
