Keep your paws crossed that Penelope (also to be known as Pickle) will be right for Cheddar and arrive soon.
I'm a bit confused by her story, but she's an ex show cat. So hopefully will be healthy.
She's not yet in the rescue so we do t k ow her personality. But from what I've seen as show cats. They are pretty docile.

The rescue told me about her when O told them of Magic's death. And when I got to work that night. We had a patient called Penelope. So I take it as a sign!

I'm trying to speed it up a bit but the rescue is busy.

My mum had a friend with a German shepherd that was treated like that. Fortunately she was very soppy. But my mum
Always worried she would snap. Especially as she was in a completely unsuitable home.

Penelope is trying to go to sleep. But I've got a man installing a smart meter, and it's disturbing her.

Penelope seems to have filled out/fluffed up over the last few months. She looks much better now than when you got her

It’s lovely to see them both so settled and happy.

Guiltypleasures001 · 08/12/2023 14:29

I'm glad for cheds sake that Penelope has settled down and being friends at last

Yes. Her coat has lost its spikey look. And is much softer.

I can sense the sheer exhaustion oozing out of her in that first picture 😂

Lovely to see them so close together during naptime ❤

What a vista! My two 6 year old litter mates (boy and girl) never sleep side by side. They go to diagonally opposite corners of a King sized bed. That’s if they even sleep in the same room, never mind on the same floor.

It’s wonderful how happy everyone looks.

I'm up for another thread too. I've been quietly watching and enjoying how nicely it's all progressing.
How far you have all come from the first photo with the rosettes.

This is how far she's come!! She's currently standing on me as I type. She is extremely vocal when she wants something. And purrs loudly!

I think she's decided she's finally home. Well done Toddler, mission accomplished 💕

For the Cheddar fans, she's fine. She's taken to drooling on my face when she's on the bed. Delightful! 😬

She looks relaxed and her condition is wonderful now

My friend called her a reprobate. She's not impressed!

Was really worried that I couldn't find cheddar, and she's not been on the bed all night. I'd left the carrier in the spare room with the lid open. And she was in there, the lid had shut and, clearly Penelope hasn't taught her to open it yet!
