Hi mumsnetters. I’ve been to view this gorgeous cat today. Pending a home check, I’ve reserved him and will be bringing him home next week! I’m in love.

My partner ended our relationship out of the blue a few months ago. I went from being in what I thought was a ridiculously loving and happy relationship to being on my own, in a flash. Since then, I’ve been to hell and (definitely not quite) back to be honest and have struggled a lot with being lonely. Rodney’s helping massively with that and his company is a huge comfort- hence my adoration for him!

I am sorry to hear this. Such a horrible thing to happen, I know the feeling, especially when it happens out of the blue.

I am so glad Sir Rodders is a comfort to you. Pets are such a comfort, they love you and don't let you down.

Animals don't let you down, people do. Bastards.

Aww Rodney looks very at home and taking excellent care of you .

My cats ( been with us four years now) aren't lap cats but will quickly jump onto a vacated chair that is warm , and most likely wanted back .
Our male walks over DH and I at 5am then settled on DH side to purr .

Rodney will be happily stealing your bodyheat as your are unwell .

Our cat has been the best thing ever for DD's mental health. Rodney is doing a good job too 🐾

More pics please OP!

What a handsome cat!

Looks a very similar colour to ours- we've had one vet tell us it's known as 'champagne' and another say it's 'blonde'.

I love his nose ❤️

Maybe he’ll open up to them? “I don’t get enough smoked salmon every day”

Nsky62 · 04/04/2023 13:05

He is slowly, confidence

Bless him - what a lovely cat

ClaraThePigeon · 04/04/2023 20:45

He's just gorgeous. I'm so happy to hear that he's settling in so well now.

Gingernaut · 04/04/2023 21:02

Now he's worked out that not only are you no threat, but he's worshipped and cared for, he'll start to rule with an iron paw.

He looks like he's loving the treat. ❤

Teddy bear’s nose is the perfect description.
