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.

FYI @SlothCat or anyone else who might adopt him.

My gorgeous lovely boy.

My heart really does ache for you Flowers

Soubriquet · 25/09/2024 20:17

Oh that is a lovely advert

Toddlerteaplease · 25/09/2024 21:04

Apparently the rescue have a perfect match for him.

But I've just been told if I adopt again, that I must not get them
Vaccinated again. I only had him done as they won't give one of them. (Can't remember which, as they think it causes cancer. No evidence of this) I did point out that he had a full set before pads went to them. Find the level of control a bit much.

The vaccination thing is very odd. Rescues usually encourage vaccinations for obvious reasons.

We had to return a kitten due to impact on our old lady. I was furious with myself. It was awful to see her fight him for her home and stop going in to rooms etc. Returning him was the right thing though it broke my heart. But not as much as keeping him would have done.

I'm in the spare room with Pen and she's climbing all over me!

Just shows how much happier she is with him not around.

Guess she realises her days of terror are about to be over

Toddlerteaplease · 25/09/2024 22:26

@whenemmafallsinlove, that's exactly what we've had. I have to carry Penelope to bed with me. She has always slept on my pillow. And barely leaves the spare room.

This is smug Penelope when Pads isn't around.

You need to warn his new family that they have to maintain a thread on Mumsnet for his fans!

Toddlerteaplease · 26/09/2024 10:58

Unfortunately I do t think I'll get any idea who is new family are. I'm sending his about me sheet. But the letter I've written for his new family isn't allowed. As adoption shouldn't be about my sadness. Which is fair enough. But I want them to know he was loved.

Getting in all the cuddles I can.

So, I have a dilemma. The rescue have offered me another cat, who's a better fit for her ladyship. She's little, same age, completely submissive, loves other cats, and doesn't play. I was going to wait a bit. But they are keen for me to take her asap. She will apparently be fine in the spare room for a while.
She's come from a house with 16 cats. She is very cute. My only aim is to do what's right for her ladyship.

SoDoffYourHat · 27/09/2024 12:07

Have you had the chance to meet the little one? What is your gut feeling?

Toddlerteaplease · 27/09/2024 12:10

I'm going to meet her tomorrow. I was leaving towards waiting. But then they sent more pictures abs videos.

Leaning

Toddlerteaplease · 27/09/2024 13:35

Apparently she's very deferential to other cats and lets them eat first. Arghh!!! I don't know what to do.

OP posts:
Toddlerteaplease · 27/09/2024 18:47

Arghh! I've psyched myself up for tomorrow. But now the rescue have decided to get the adopter to meet in my city when they come on Monday. Great idea in theory. But I'm on 12.5 hour shifts Monday and Tuesday, and they won't be free until 1030 Monday night. 😬

Toddlerteaplease · 28/09/2024 18:56

He's going to my friend tomorrow, who transported him in the first place. Then will be adopted on Monday. I think his adopters live not too far away. But no idea who they are. I asked if I could meet them. But apparently not.

Soubriquet · 28/09/2024 20:16

Oh I’m so sorry. I’ll miss reading his updates

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 28/09/2024 20:17

I'm so sorry it hasn't worked out but you're doing the right thing for Pen. I think it's sad that your letter can't go with him, if we adopt again I would love to know about the cat's history and to know he was loved.

OccasionalHope · 28/09/2024 22:44

So sad for you, but hopefully both Pen and Pads will be happy.

Toddlerteaplease · 28/09/2024 22:48

I think his adoptee might be fairly local, so I'll try and do some digging. His bag of stuff is packed. 😰

OP posts:
Toddlerteaplease · 29/09/2024 10:44

Missed church, so I could have extra cuddles with Pads. It was worth it.
