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.

He will definitely not have that 2nd photograph ‘Sad Face’ ever again 😻

Rodney is the most perfect name ♥️

@StarsAtElbowsAndFoot
as a treat (though potential precedent setting) get him some of the new Purina Gourmet Revelations with ‘Cascading’ gravy cat food my my boy literally licks the bowl clean and moves it around the floor, it’s pretty expensive though but on offer in Asda atm…..he needs a bit of spoiling of course ❤️x

Regal Rodney is a handsome chap. 😻

StarsAtElbowsAndFoot · 17/03/2023 21:41

Haha my worry is he’ll get a refined taste! He’ll currently take anything the rescue centre offer him!

I can’t wait to get him home though. Am going to buy him a few treats before picking him up tomorrow

@StarsAtElbowsAndFoot

Here for the Rodney comes home pics 😂

Kittensat36 · 18/03/2023 09:26

You have to tell one person that his name is Dave.

PlateBilledDuckyPerson · 18/03/2023 09:30

Haha my worry is he’ll get a refined taste!

Of course! He's got two GCEs and had a term at art college!

I know you are (rightfully) very excited to get Rodney home ...and we are all waiting to see that Cat Tax is paid ...but remember-

He'll need to carry on with whatever he's been eating in Rescue .
They might give you a couple of days worth to tide you over , but you'll need to make any changes slowly .

I put mine on grainfree biscuits over time , but they refused to change from Whiskas .(Grain free makes them smell less too)

He'll be going through many changes in the next few days - new house, new hooman to overlord , new bowls, new bedding . His guts need to keep the Status Quo
He might not be fussy with his litter - I put ours onto CatsBest , they were fine .

He might not use his tray for a couple of days ....but watch out when he does Shock

Ours have bowls with a scalloped edge to allow their short whiskas not to get caught . Some cats wouldn't bother but our Male whinged at me one evening "Mum this whisker/width ratio isn't working here" till I changed the bowl.

<<Shameless waiting for HomeComing Photos>>

Regal Roddny looks very relaxed.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 18/03/2023 12:04

Oh bless him! Little does he know he’s going to have such a good life here on in!

Fedupofdiets · 18/03/2023 12:05

Oh hey Rodney you gorgeous boy!

TwoMonthsOff · 18/03/2023 12:06

@Alphabet1spaghetti2
thats the best bit I think, it’s his time now after all he’s been through, love this thread and OP such a star taking the ‘journey’ photo ❤️

PlateBilledDuckyPerson · 18/03/2023 12:08

His chariot awaits!

My new pal!
viques · 18/03/2023 12:10

Oh he is so cute. When I was bringing my newish boy home in the back of a cab( no parking at the rescue centre) I felt a little nudge, looked down, and he had poked his paw through the wire and was patting my coat asking for a stroke. Some of them are born knowing all the moves!

Welcome home Rodney, all your MN aunties are wishing you a long and happy reign in your new palace.

Toddlerteaplease · 18/03/2023 12:42

Good luck Rodney!! I hope you have a very happy life together. Looking forward to lots of updates.

heldinadream · 18/03/2023 12:57

Welcome home Rodders! 😍

heldinadream · 18/03/2023 13:00

What I meant was, Welcome home His Royal Highness Lord Rodney of Rodneyville the Most Excellent. Sorry for the disrespectful slip calling him (gasp!) Rodders! 😂

StarsAtElbowsAndFoot · 18/03/2023 13:06

Well quite, show some respect please.

Christened him Sir Rodderz of Whopping Nogginton

Will update when he’s (hopefully) settling in at home

Wnopping Noggington - I though he was neutered ! 🤣
he is a beautiful colour in natural light isn’t he ? Like soft apricot ! thanks for the photo from the car, was it a long journey ?

Vinorosso74 · 18/03/2023 13:20

What a handsome lad. The ex strays with the big cheeks need proper human names, I've met a few Daves in my time.

Theoldwoman · 18/03/2023 13:22

What a handsome chap! I hope you are both very happy together.

Love rescues! Well done.

Florissant · 18/03/2023 13:26

Welcome home, Sir Rodney. Make sure your servant knows her place immediately by demanding only the most luscious of pates and the softest and warmest of bedss.
