Good morning,

We've this lovely friendly cat that visits us everyday. And I absolutely love her (and the 4 other cats who spend their days in our little garden!). Can anyone please identify the breed please? I'm thinking of maybe seeing if we can go to our local rescue centre and take one home. Thank you!

It's a Loaf

It looks well looked after, so probably has a home, please don’t feed it.

Why don’t you try to find out if these cats that are visiting have homes, there are a lot of strays about and one of them may need a home. Ask your neighbours, put a paper collar on them to enquire.

There is a wonderful book called Six Dinner Sid...

Surely if I was getting a kitten (which I am not planning to), I'd have no idea of their personality??

You won't have much idea from how a cat behaves in rescue either. Many shut down in shelters and only show their true personalities once they've spent a few months settling in.

The advantage of a kitten is that you can make sure it's healthy and well-socialised, as well as used to being handled, put in a carrier, taken to the vets etc.

I volunteer for a rescue where all the cats are fostered in homes - I’ve got a mum & son at the moment. The benefits of that are that it’s much nicer for the cats, they get used to living with people, & that we get to know them, so it’s much easier to match a cat / kitten to an adopter.

no, quite right! getting a kitten is pot luck, as far as personality goes, we have been very lucky in the personalities of some of the kittens we have ended up with - but not all

Cats are mostly great though and we’ve only had one standoffish cat from a kitten.

The adult rescue I got was all sweetness and light until she got her paws under the table and she’s such a little diva now.

Absolutely - I'm not sure why so many people feel it's acceptable to feed other people's cats.

The cat is ON HER PROPERTY, cats have the right to roam and can eat wherever they feel like eating. If you don't want your cat to choose where it eats, or be at risk of what it eats, invest in cat proofing.

Milk can cause diarrhoea in hedgehogs but it’s not poisonous.
I think it’s rather a leap to accuse your neighbours of killing a hedgehog! It could have died for a number of reasons.

I take in hedgehogs from a local foster place and in elderly hedgehogs it can cause death . I wouldn’t post hyperbole if not based on some basis

They can’t eat things that are not there. They come on a property to eat things if they are put out. If they have a right to roam then why would you need cat proofing?

@tresales so? That doesn't give her the right to feed it, just like it wouldn't give her the right to poison it either 🙄
