I started a new thread for all of Peppas adoring fans and probably soon to be Bingo's too.

Have a Peppa at the vets photo to start it off

Oh I remember the Peppa thread, bless you for taking her in. She’s just beautiful! Is Bingo a friend for her?

softplayfail · 11/11/2022 17:07

@Mondaymorningquaterback yes bingo will be joining our family on Tuesday all being well on the neutering going forward. I have no photos of Bingo as in my sheer excitement to go see the fluff balls at cat protection I left my phone in the car

Bingo is a fabulous name OP. What colour is he?

🐈‍⬛ ?

🐈 ?

Peppa is just amazing. The sweetest kitty ever.

You're coming on in leaps and bounds in your new role as crazy cat lady! Welcome to the club Halloween Grin

@Words he's all black with one white leg but he's slightly long haired. He was one of seven but he had bad cat flu shortly after being put up for adoption and his litter mates went as pairs so he was left.

Peppa just sneezed and all his fur stuck up and he hissed. Yes yes very ferocious

A green eyed black kitty with one white leg you say?

I am not looking forward to these photos next week. No. Not even a little bit. Grin

Mine had cat flu before I adopted him and like a pp said about hers on the last thread, he can be a bit wheezy and sniffly in the winter, but nothing serious.

Get advice about introducing them. I've never introduced a non sibling kitten to another. Mine have all been young adults introduced to older cats, and I have done it gradually. I imagine the younger they are the easier it is, but dunno.

With cats there is always more to learn!

Mondaymorningquaterback · 11/11/2022 17:24

Oops sorry, Peppa is a boy! He’s beautiful!
Its so lovely you’re getting him a brother. I’ve got two rescue boy kittens. They have their scrappy moments but mostly they’re really tender with each other and seeing them cuddled up snoozing together will never fail to warm your cockles! Can’t wait to see pics of Bingo

Mondaymorningquaterback · 11/11/2022 17:29

Yep good advice from @Words, I too have only introduced kittens to older cats (my boys are siblings). Cats Protection will guide you on how to introduce them. Loads of videos on You Tube too, I watched the Cats Protection ones on there as well as others like Jackson Galaxy

LeMoo · 11/11/2022 17:31

Oh my god, look at him! SUCH a handsome kitty!

Love his hissing at his sneezes, he's a real brave heart!

LeMoo · 11/11/2022 17:37

I haven't introduced kittens to kittens either, but I guess it's the same as any other introduction...cat to cat, cat to dog...

They both their own safe space where they have time out from each other. And everything you've done for peppa you should do for Bingo...so another litter and cat house (hope you've space!) Or you can just keep bingo in a separate room if you have one. Putting a baby gate in the doorway will help them adjust to each other safely. Although peppa is definitely still small enough to get through the bars!

Words · 11/11/2022 17:42

Peppa Pinknose Braveheart!

CPL will advise I am sure. Generally I bring the incomer in and house in the spare room, allow them to sniff each other under the door for a few days, or longer if things get heated, then take things from there. Maybe kittens you can be a bit more relaxed with maybe?

softplayfail · 11/11/2022 17:43

So we have 2 litter boxes and a spare one upstairs. So like living in a giant toilet right now
Cats protection suggested feliway? So we have a plug in upstairs and downstairs. My toddler keeps sniffing the spray we got so If it makes her calm ill let you all know.
I have a blanket from Bingo which I've given to Peppa who keeps sniffing it. And husband is going to drop off Peppas slightly chewed blanket tomorrow to cats protection to stick in with Bingo.

We will see how it goes.

Plenty of food. Vet suggested James wellbeloved so both cats will be on that. My toddler likes it so maybe the kittens will. Peppa is booked in fot neutering at 5 months so be January to February time.

All systems go here

Fantastic work OP! Scent exchange thing great idea.

TheLongRider · 11/11/2022 17:54

We've been fostering two boy kittens for the last few weeks. Yesterday we had to take in a girl kitten at short notice. We had her in a crate for the day. The current boy fosters went straight up to her chirruping as if she was a sibling! No aggression or hissing.

I hope Peppa is equally as welcoming.

Toddlerteaplease · 11/11/2022 17:55

"Your toddler likes James Welbeloved"?!!!!!

PriamFarrl · 11/11/2022 17:56

Peppa looks so much bigger.

Toddlerteaplease · 11/11/2022 17:57

I plonked my car down in her carrier and the resident cat sniffed her and that was that.

CatChant · 11/11/2022 18:06

Oh lovely Peppa, so impossibly cute.

I think it will work out, OP. There might be a little hissing and grumbling at first but they are both kittens and the urge to play and pounce will win out. I doubt it will be long before they’re snuggling up for naps.

softplayfail · 11/11/2022 18:08

@Toddlerteaplease she may have sampled the biscuits. Only maybe

OP posts:
TheLongRider · 11/11/2022 18:15

I remember sampling the cat's biscuits at a similar age... it never did me any harm. It might explain my crazy cat lady existence now. I do remember the meaty flavour, a bit like Bovril.

iloveeverykindofcat · 11/11/2022 19:49

What an intelligent face he has

thepawofdislike · 11/11/2022 20:13

I've name changed since the last thread but been following since day one. Thank you for starting a new thread. Cannot wait for pics of Bingo😍

Blowyourowntrumpet · 11/11/2022 21:41

Peppa is so pretty. I can't wait to see the pictures of his new brother, Bingo

coastergirl · 12/11/2022 02:01

I've been following since the start and I just love this. Er...if the feliway has an effect on the toddler, could you let me know? Asking for a friend of course.

Have a photo of my lovely Walter in return. He's a rescue. Poorly at the start but the most loving boy.

Here is is bizarrely snooty photo of my two. Taken when they were at the cattery. Absolutely no idea where they got their airs and graces from that day!
