Leroy did that when he got home from the rescue. Stuffed his face, checked out the territory, stuffed his face again, then did an enormous wee 😂

TC does look like he's quite comfortable with the outcome.

I've just realised that I posted about Gizmo on the morning of the 8th, and less than 60 hours later on the evening of the 10th he's moved into his new home.
The MN rehoming model works a treat. 😁

Lovely picture of Leroy.

Argyll and Bute are good like that 🤣

I did feel sorry for TC's dad though.

Such a long journey, and saying goodbye to an eleven year old cat, who you've had since he was a kitten 😸.

He'd planned to camp near where we met up, but missed the 8pm curfew.

Mind you, I wouldn't want to camp in the West Coast of Scotland, with all those midgies

I have spoken to him - he's made it to Falkirk safely and is camping there as planned for his work tomorrow.

TheShellBeach · 10/06/2024 23:38

And because he got to the meeting place so late, we ended up going back very late ourselves, and had to be escorted through roadworks via a convoy.

Our round trip to get him took us almost six hours! It was worth it though.

Jeez. Rather him than me, driving all the way to Falkirk from where we met.

I'm glad he's okay, though.

Ha! Mr SB has been growled at, because he stopped Gizmo from getting into our food cupboard.

Linney has decided not to move from the table for the time being.

And so it starts 🤣

GlomOfNit · 10/06/2024 23:46

This is just bloody wonderful! Grin TheShellBeach (and Mr TSB of course) you are absolutely fantastic to do this and also to keep us appraised of TC's machinations.

It's amazing to see all this! So glad TC has landed on his paws.

learieonthewildmoor · 11/06/2024 05:22

This is very good news. So happy you’ve been able to take him - and that he’s settled in.
Good luck to Linney!

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/06/2024 06:12

Just hoping that Shell and Mr SB made it through the night.

TC does have a reputation to live up to 😸

AnneKipankitoo · 11/06/2024 06:14

He looks right at home. Thank you @TheShellBeach .

Allergictoironing · 11/06/2024 06:33

This all puts into the shade my news that for the fifth day running Tobias has actively requested a shoulder rub & a stroke first thing before breakfast.

Sweetpea1532 · 11/06/2024 06:49

@TheShellBeach and MrShellBeach, and Linney...Ya'll are the best! Thank you for rescuing the little guy😻

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 11/06/2024 08:41

Lovely picture of Leroy and always very pleased to hear about Tobias's progress.
It's lovely weather this morning and we have the novelty of being able to leave the front door wide open to allow our cats easy ingress and egress.
I may even open the patio doors later and leave the room just for the hell of it. 🤣

OccasionalHope · 11/06/2024 08:46

TC seems to be quite at home.

Poor Linney looks a little bewildered.

LostCats · 11/06/2024 08:51

Ah well done Tobias! How lovely 🐾

Ahaha Grumpy - what will you do with your time now you don’t have to guard every minute

EachandEveryone · 11/06/2024 09:03

You are very brave not separating them 😮 i hope they work their way to a great friendship. Thank you.

I have no idea - but without TC around I'll probably post less on MN and certainly take fewer photos! 🤣
