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.

I've if them sounds perfect. With other Persians to play with.

Oh Toddler. I’m really really sorry. It must be awful

Anniegetyourgun · 24/09/2024 14:59

He took to you almost straight away, didn't he? That suggests he's a cat who just loves people, and will be happy with anyone who treats him right. He'll be glued to them before you know it. Obviously you'll miss him but an easy-going fellow like him should be comfortable anywhere. Try and think of your time with him as an extended foster period that always had to come to an end.

Finally got through to the rescue. He's going back on Saturday. They've offered me a tiny submissive girl who loves cats. But I'm really not sure at the moment. Might be best to wait for a while and let her decompress.

I'm very sad. But glad I have a plan now. I would have preferred him to go to these other people. But it is what it is.

What is the background of the tiny girl?

So sorry Paddington is leaving. It sounds as though he would be better as an only cat.

Soubriquet · 24/09/2024 19:47

Aww poor pads. I agree with letting Pen settle without another cat first

Toddlerteaplease · 24/09/2024 19:51

@SoDoffYourHat she apparently came as part of a group of 16. She's apparently loves other cats and is very submissive to the. At she's sharing with. She's very cute. But I need to tread very carefully. I'm really not sure. And I'm in no rush for another. Pen currently seems much happier.

She's not a lap cat. She's a cats cat apparently. And I do love a lap cat.

@SoDoffYourHat he needs a playmate, that's been the biggest issue. He just wanted to play with her.

He’d be great with kids I bet

Toddlerteaplease · 25/09/2024 14:21

Yes. He'd be brilliant. He's just a brilliant cat anyway. The biggest softie. Just wants food, toys and cuddles.

Oh isn’t he just gorgeous. I’m really sorry you’ve having to give him up

Sandwichgen · 25/09/2024 15:01

Have you considered giving Pen up instead?

Sandwichgen · 25/09/2024 15:02

(Dons hard hat)

Toddlerteaplease · 25/09/2024 15:17

@Sandwichgen I couldn't do that to her. She's my little tiny poppet. And she's actually very bonded to me, more than he is. It was suggested more than once that I would have to choose, who was the right cat for me. Because she's cost me a fortune!

OP posts:
Sandwichgen · 25/09/2024 15:25

fair enough.

Toddlerteaplease · 25/09/2024 15:28

And how could I rehome a cat who likes to be read too?!

OP posts:
Toddlerteaplease · 25/09/2024 15:29

Hopefully she'll be back to plotting world domination as soon as she realises he's gone.

I have always wanted a friend for Gizmo, however it is very apparent that she will only ever cope with being an only cat. I suspect it is the same for Pen.

Toddlerteaplease · 25/09/2024 15:58

@Bagpuss1200 she was great with Cheddar. They were absolutely In cahoots with each other to gang up on me!

Could it be that Cheddar was already the resident cat and therefore the boss as such. When she died, Penelope became the resident cat and then got used to being alone. Then a new cat was introduced and didn’t follow her rules

Toddlerteaplease · 25/09/2024 16:27

Penelope came from a multi car household. So I don't know. I'll not make a decision about the other one. Unless I'm sure she'll be ok
