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.

She's a beauty.

FutureThroughLensOfThePast · 18/09/2023 17:00

Beautiful!

nettie434 · 18/09/2023 17:08

Oy my goodness, she is such a pretty cat, Toddler. I hope your journey home is smooth and that Cheddar is sitting patiently by the door ready to welcome you both home.

Better one

What amazing amber eyes!

Toddlerteaplease · 18/09/2023 17:36

She's tiny!

Breeder brought her for £1000 to breed from
And she refused to do her duty.

She looks like an absolute sweetie. The splendid whiskers and slightly mournful expression give her a faint air of WW1 general Grin

She is a very lucky cat to end up living with you and Cheddar!

SeagullSong · 18/09/2023 17:42

I'm so happy she's finally coming home with you, I hope all goes smoothly. If you're still open to name suggestions, as she's tiny you could have Mini and Cheddar?

Heronatemygoldfish · 18/09/2023 17:45

Oh those eyes - they are like a owl's in that close up shot! Fingers crossed for the introductions...

felinelucky · 18/09/2023 18:00

Ooh, what a poppet! Congrats, hope she settles in soon.

Good for her!

Oh, the poor darling. And now she gets her reward with the best home any Persian could hope for.

Or Babybel, Bel for short?

Allergictoironing · 18/09/2023 18:39

She doesn't look real in that picture, she look like a toy cat I had when I was young!

Those great big owl eyes are amazing, but she doesn't look THAT tiny in the first pic from today...

Toddlerteaplease · 18/09/2023 19:41

I can't have Mini as Cheddar's full name is actually mini cheddar. Cheddar has met and seems completely chilled. Cheddar has eaten the food I've put down for her.

Aww, fingers crossed it goes smoothly.

I really do detest breeders who consider their cats disposable, but at least re-homing through a rescue ends the cycle.

With her blue colouring she's surely a Stilton.

Toddlerteaplease · 18/09/2023 19:55

She's in the spare room at the minute. Will leave her alone for a bit. Although they both have a vets appointment at 2045

Oh she is stunning, what a pretty girl, and those eyes.I love her colouring.
Bless Cheddar being chilled out.
Here's to many happy years together x 😻

Waiting to see the vet. Cheddar is sulking

She is gorgeous. And I still like Pickle as a name!

fingers crossed for good vet news!

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 18/09/2023 21:05

She’s gorgeous! I agree with @YetAnotherSpartacus, I also like Pickle

Toddlerteaplease · 18/09/2023 21:48

She's got an ear infection. Maybe chronic or maybe just untreated. She's got a slightly raised temperature. She's having a recheck on Friday and is provisionally booked in for the ship next Monday, if all ok.

Cheddar has conjunctivitis, egobk im annoyed about because I said to the vet last week that her eyes were unusually gunky. And she didn't even look. She's the vet who said magics eye swelling was normal healing and then it exploded the next day. So I don't have much confidence in her. But she's got drops.

Currently hiding in her litter tray in the spare room. She's got a pet remedy diffuser on. So leaving her alone to chill out.

She came out of the spare room when I went to check on her. Had a wander round my bedroom. Cheddar has hissed and growled at her, but not approached her or tried to go for her. Hoping that's a good sign.
