My new baby - 11 yr old calico girl 💕

Just want to shout about my new baby girl, I brought her home from Battersea on Saturday and I am totally in love!
She is 11 years old, 3kg and very tiny, like a fairy princess cat. As soon as she arrived she strolled out of the carrier without a care in the world and promptly set about grooming herself and playing with a catnip mouse! Every night she's slept down by my feet and loves to lie next to me while I work from home. She's a real Velcro cat.

I grew up with cats but she is the first pet I've had as an adult. I came out of an abusive relationship 6 months ago and have been finding life tough as I've got back on my feet but for the first time since then I feel genuine happiness and joy, listening to her purr and watching her play. Animals are the best healers!

You wanted more photos? You got em!
Ive never seen a cat sit like she does in number 2 - she’s hilarious!

Just need to say, WHAT A BABY!

we brought our rescue boy home a year ago and he is the light of our loves, bringing so much love to our house! Like you I expected to bring a nervous cat home who’s trust I would have to win but he too strutted out the box, gave it a few sniffs and made himself at home!

wishing you and Strawberry every happiness!

Beautiful.

She’s beautiful 😍

All the torties I’ve known have been clever, sensitive and emotional little cats. There’s something special about them.

She looks so much like our rescue Tortie, who is a sweet gentle cuddly lump.

She's gorgeous and so lovely she's keeping you company after your break up. Here is my Calico cat ❤️

She is beautiful! It sounds like she has you well trained already. And it sounds like you will both be very good for each other, too.

But you have made a rookie error with the expensive cat bed. The rule is that more money you spend on something for your cat (especially cat beds!), the less they like it.

And I have to tell you, she isn’t sleeping on your bed. She is now permitting you to sleep on her bed.

So lovely to see happy cat pics

Well done on giving your gorgeous girl a new home.
May you have many happy years together x

Dang it...she let you touch her tummy fluff??? Thats a lot of trust she is showing you. Sounds like you were made for each other. Enjoy her 💕
