Welcome Sonny - a kitten appreciation thread

Some of you may remember I lost my beautiful Ginger 8 weeks ago.
He was killed by an electric van and the house has been so quiet, I've missed him & the other animals have really missed him in different ways.

I've made friends with the local lad who had posted on the town FB page at the time. His friends cat had 4 kittens, in the day Ginger was killed. 2 who were Ginger girls, 2 g&w boys and I was set on taking on boy.

He was really shy on the day I went to the house & Sonny was being a sassy minx, letting me stroke her belly and so being cute!!

I put the cat carrier in the living room, she went over sniffing it, the guy said, she won't go in there, I said if she does, she's coming home with me....

And, here she is........

What an absolute cutie pie 🥰 and of course the ruler of all she surveys

MiladyBlue · 19/07/2023 22:53

Oh what a cutie!
I hope she helps heal your heart. I don’t think you will be getting much work done though if she takes up a permanent position on your desk.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 19/07/2023 22:53

She's beautiful!

I've never met a female ginger cat - many of them turn out to be male Grin

Toddlerteaplease · 19/07/2023 23:01

Yes, ginger females are very rare! Ae you sure it's a girl. Though I have a red female. She gets very annoyed by people calling her a boy.

🥰

What a pretty kitty. She will bring you much joy and take away your pain. ❤️

StrawberryFizz27 · 19/07/2023 23:07

I took her to the vet the day after I brought her home but I don't think he checked, I'll ask them to double check on her 2nd vaccinations.

I want her to be shy and not venture far so the same thing doesn't happen again but I know she is gonna be a wanderer. She's got long legs, big paws and is a pouncer with a motorbike purr!!

I've had a few wines, if you can't tell. My heart is defo healing.

She's adorable.

Pretty kitty!

Allergictoironing · 20/07/2023 07:14

You can turn up absolutely determined what type of cat you're going to take home, then something completely different claims you e.g. I did want a male cat, but black or B&W and at least 6-8 years old or older. Came home with a 3 yo tabby & white guy. And previously I'd wanted older lap cats, ended up with 2yo terrified ex-ferals (who ended up cuddle monsters).

You don't choose the cat, the cat chooses you 😁

Gorgeous girl.

Iamacatslave · 20/07/2023 10:02

Absolutely gorgeous!

TheLongRider · 20/07/2023 19:38

Everybody needs some ginger on their lives! She's gorgeous (I'd check her/his sex though,she looks like a boy to me) .

Florissante · 21/07/2023 07:24

I want to scratch her chin.

FrivolousTreeDuck · 21/07/2023 07:26

Looks like a she to me, but never met a ginger girl before ❤️❤️ she's beautiful

FrivolousTreeDuck · 22/07/2023 20:18

A friend of mine had a ginger girl - they're rare but not unknown. Like you get very occasional male torties, but they're sterile.
