New thread for the inmates of Toddler Towers. Strange to think, it's about two completely different cats, from the original
Thread. But Magic, Maia and Cheddar will never be forgotten.

All apparently going well at the cattery. I said If Penelope was pretty chilled. They could reduce her Gabapebtin. Turns out they already have. So that's great news. Feel like I can properly bond with Paddington now. As I've been hoping off slightly, incase he had to go back.

Love the new thread. I am a regular on the doghouse but love reading about your cats.

Grabbing my place and settling down!

I've promised not message the cattery anymore. They've still got 9 days to go. Need to leave them too it!

Yey. New thread

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 21/07/2024 21:13

But if you don't message the cattery we don't get updates!

Toddlerteaplease · 21/07/2024 23:22

@PinkSparklyPussyCat they post photos. I can't keep messaging them because their fan club needs an update! They'll think k I'm mad!

I'm not saying anything...😂

Toddlerteaplease · 22/07/2024 09:40

Well, I'll maybe not show them the message my sister sent. It might take quite a lot of explaining!!

I love that!!! Grin

I would volunteer to be a cat slave to the moustaches but I am already a cat slave who won’t tolerate any other cats

learieonthewildmoor · 23/07/2024 00:42

He is definitely saying that 😂
I don’t think they’ll be surprised to hear your cats have a fan club. On the contrary!

Bagpuss1200 · 23/07/2024 08:13

Ah thank goodness a new thread I was getting worried!

Breadcat24 · 23/07/2024 08:22

Your cattery folk sound really nice

Toddlerteaplease · 23/07/2024 08:58

It's the most fantastic cattery. Magic and Maia adored it. And one of their staff absolutely adored them. Her partner would hear for ages that they were coming. And she sent me a lovely card when Maia died. She also did me a lovely portrait of them together.

They sent me a video of Pen having fuss. Apparently he's adopted the fortress as his bed, and she's just accepted that. No sqabbling.

Let’s see what happens when they’re home! Cat Two is much friendlier towards Cat Three when they’re away from home, but once back home she goes back to asking if he’s really necessary.

Anniegetyourgun · 23/07/2024 15:37

Ha! Found you! Only just caught up on the end of the last thread. I let out an actual "squee" at the picture of them sharing a bed at the cattery - and I'm so not a squee person. (Maybe at kittens, but anyone who doesn't squee at kittens has no soul.)

My two get on excellently, very nearly all the time (well, they are cats), because they were adopted from a rescue where they sat in adjoining pens. The separating door was open for a while each day so their kittens could play while the mums would just hang out together and chill. So when they came to mine the only familiar thing here was each other. They mostly stayed side by side under the furniture for the first few days. Bonded in adversity. This is almost certainly what the Moustached Duo are doing at this time.

Yes, they'll probably revert to type when they get back home, but at least you know they can get on when they have to, thank goodness. You're not the only one who'd be devastated if the gorgeous Paddington had to move on. There would be wailing and gnashing of teeth the length of the country among his and Penelope's devoted followers.

Defiantlynot41 · 23/07/2024 16:45

Unless of course @TheShellBeach could be persuaded to take him too (only joking Toddler, but it's so lovely we have a cat distribution system on the poses threads)

Toddlerteaplease · 23/07/2024 17:03

Even if they revert to type at home. I will no longer separate them at night. As I know they can get on. I want Paddingtons food and litter out of my living room!
