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.

Here’s Lord Rodney- for the first time ever he’s just come out of ‘his’ room and chosen to approach and be near me! I normally have to go and fetch him

Now enjoying a snuggle… and just noticed I’m wearing some form of fleece loungewear in every photo I’ve posted. I do wear clothes sometimes, promise

Yay, well done Rodney. I love it when they sit with their paws like that. I call it the ballerina pose 🩰

I do hope you are feeling a bit better.

I am glad you and Sir Rodders have each other. X

Darling Rodney. Cats, especially male ones in my experience are the best nurse/ companions in times of sadness.

Take care OP.

Thank you for your kind messages.

He’s definitely getting braver- I’ve just spent a mad hour looking for him as he wasn’t in his room. Finally found him behind the fridge!

bless him, Billy getting bolder still shy with visitors

Loving the pictures of Billy and Sir Rodney.

very excited (and nc in case I start my own thread later..!) we are looking at a cat at the RSPCA tomorrow!!! She is 19, a little calico and has health needs. We have just lost our 18 year old calico and have another 17 year old boy with various health issues as well so hopefully are well placed to welcome another older girl into our lives. She is supposed to be an only cat but with any sort of luck we can be a match....

(My username reflects my 12 year old's current dream for his future).

Love those paws. Just like little mittens.

Oh Sir Rodders is just gorgeous! His paws are just so adorable!

Our meeting yesterday went really well and fingers crossed we will be picking our new girl up next week! (I will definitely pay the photo tax!)
