ah yes, collateral damage is a specialty of hers. I got swiped a couple of times cos something else was bothering her.

Reynard · « **Reply #77 on:** December 26, 2007, 23:02:55 PM »

Oh, she's truly STUNNING!

Glad she's settling in well - and I do love the worried expression on her face. Pearl has an expression that's very similar to that, kept in reserve for when the neighbour's cat chooses to saunter past the window.

How could anyone have decided that they didn't want her anymore? It absolutely beggars belief...

LOONEY · « **Reply #76 on:** December 26, 2007, 21:11:54 PM »

No she is really saying "KEEP THAT BL**DY WEDNESDAY KITTEN THING AWAY FROM ME OR ELSE"......Unfortunately i was stood too close when wednesday came to say hello and i got swiped and shed blood because of it!!!! Never mind its an improvement, at least she entered the room whilst wednesday was in there. 1 step at a time xx

No, she's saying " You forgot the cranberry sauce..!"

she does Gill, they are the most wonderful eyes I have ever seen on a cat!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #72 on:** December 26, 2007, 17:09:59 PM »

What wonderful eyes she has

blackcat · « **Reply #71 on:** December 26, 2007, 15:42:20 PM »

she looks like she is worried that there is no room for dessert!!

Great news Looney - though you do know that the rules of this site require pix!!

I suspect Kirsty's partner's children are probably a bit more respectful of a cat's needs than the grandchildren of the previous owner...

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #68 on:** December 18, 2007, 15:05:21 PM »

So pleased she is happy in her new home and IKEA tents are wonderful

Ooooo if she is in Lincoln she is not too far from us. Happy Christmas Misty have a lovely life in your new forever home xx

LOONEY · « **Reply #66 on:** December 18, 2007, 14:43:34 PM »

Just a quick update, Misty is a happy purrsome big girl. She has been sat on the computer desk watching Kirsty work with great interest! She has met Kirsty's partners children and was very good, she gave a small growl when she had had enough! lol She loves her ikea tent(thankyou mmcc raffle) and is very busy and vocal in demanding some fuss. xx

blackcat · « **Reply #65 on:** December 16, 2007, 08:12:14 AM »

Oh that's excellent news! so glad her more recent trip was a better one than her previous one - I hate to think what happened to make her so hissy when she arrived with me. She really is a bit of a purr-bundle!!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #64 on:** December 15, 2007, 23:48:48 PM »

So pleased that Misty has gone to her knew home and well done bc great job, bet you lonely now

Reynard · « **Reply #63 on:** December 15, 2007, 23:19:06 PM »

Just to add, Misty's new home is with the daughter of someone off the Our Cats board. She's arrived safely and has been very purry with her new ~~owner~~ slave.

Here's the thread on the OC board: http://groups.msn.com/OURCATSONLINE/general.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=28726&LastModified=4675652255699779310

Reynard · « **Reply #62 on:** December 15, 2007, 21:50:48 PM »

That's brilliant news Jo, glad Misty's gone to take possession of some new slaves!

Thanks a bunch for helping out with fostering her.

blackcat · « **Reply #61 on:** December 15, 2007, 18:06:21 PM »

Always happy to foster. It's good training for when I retire and start doing it more intensively and I can't take on any more as fulltime, forever pets or I would be in strife if they decide to ship me back to the colonies, but fostering is a great way to keep the numbers up and yet remain free of long-term commitment to babies i can not make that commitment to

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #60 on:** December 15, 2007, 17:58:50 PM »

Aww, glad she has a good home, and do you think you would foster more often?

blackcat · « **Reply #59 on:** December 15, 2007, 17:52:08 PM »

Misty has gone to her new home in Lincoln this evening. Mine have yet to investigate the strange smells in the spare room cos they have been distracted by all the treats i brought home from the cat show, but doubtless will get around to it.

She was very good and walked straight into her travel crate (rather larger and more see-through than the one she arrived in) with only a little encouragement (and a bowl of food

). I think I will miss having an upstairs lodger, still, she is obviously going to a great new home where she will be loved to bits and spoilt as she deserves to be spoilt!

blackcat · « **Reply #58 on:** December 14, 2007, 06:06:48 AM »

Hi Witty, she is as purrsome as ever. Was talking to me through the door yesterday - much to everyone else's confusion - they have not figured out there is another cat in the house! But are dying to know what I do in that room when I go in an close the door

Reynard · « **Reply #57 on:** December 13, 2007, 22:12:31 PM »

How's the lovely Misty today, Jo? Hope she's still doing well.

blackcat · « **Reply #56 on:** December 12, 2007, 18:17:43 PM »

Hi denise, it is only a short-term foster it seems. She has admirers who are coming to meet her this weekend. Esther is doing just fine. She and Smidgen received an early christmas present because i had to work late a couple of nights in late November. It was at an expo and RSPB had a stand there with stuffed birds that make bird calls. I palled up with them over the two days and they gave me my choice of one to take home. The kitties love it and so does Shadow. They spend hours rolling around the floor wrestling with it. No major adventures to report and I am sure Esther would love to see pictures of her babies

deniseb90 · « **Reply #55 on:** December 12, 2007, 18:14:28 PM »

Hi Jo! Wow you're fostering - what have you let yourself in for!!! Misty looks gorgeous and she couldn't be with a nicer person.

Have been off the 'net for a while - hope Esther is well - had some lovely pics of two of her babies (who are obviously not looking like babies any more!)

Take care!

Dx

blackcat · « **Reply #54 on:** December 11, 2007, 23:26:47 PM »

Will do witty - she is cute!! and very purrsome now she is settling down.

Reynard · « **Reply #53 on:** December 11, 2007, 23:22:20 PM »

Am glad Misty is coming round, Jo!

She's a beautiful cat and one to be proud of.

Please give her a little fuss from me.

blackcat · « **Reply #52 on:** December 11, 2007, 23:06:05 PM »

I've discovered that 'lifting' is best attempted when she has her face in the foodbowl. Tonight she let me lift her front legs off the ground

I think she is just a bit defensive when she does not know you and is unsure of your motives, once you have her trust i think she will be a real sweetie.

LOONEY · « **Reply #51 on:** December 11, 2007, 16:11:14 PM »

Oh that is brilliant progress Jo..good stuff xx

blackcat · « **Reply #50 on:** December 11, 2007, 07:02:12 AM »

Hi Looney, she is fine and purrsome. I even managed to get my hand under her belly while stroking and slightly 'lifted' her last night with only minor reaction from her.

LOONEY · « **Reply #49 on:** December 11, 2007, 04:54:25 AM »

Hi Jo, just wondering how things are going with Misty? xx

puddypaws · « **Reply #48 on:** December 07, 2007, 18:53:57 PM »

Sounds as if things are going pretty well BC. Well done for giving a safe place until she has a forever home. Give her a head rub from Ollie

blackcat · « **Reply #47 on:** December 07, 2007, 18:20:57 PM »

Well, it seems I am forgiven. After coming home from a meeting this afternoon, I went up to the spare room and there was Misty sitting on the chest of drawers - she still looked a little surly so I went downstairs and found a pouch of food and took it up. Barely had it open and she was down to the bowl tucking in. Had to move her head to one side to fit the rest in and she accepted that without a murmer. Plucked up the courage to give her a few strokes which she accepted in good grace, so it seems this mornings shennanigans are forgiven. Will work on the stroking for a few days before I try anything more advanced unless she initiates it ...

blackcat · « **Reply #46 on:** December 07, 2007, 09:42:11 AM »

Misty one, blackcat nil - Misty will not be going to the vet today

This morning she was lovely and friendly with a purr for me and a little prrrt as she arched her back for a stroke. Gaining confidence I decided to try to put her in the box. Not a good choice

Misty will have an appointment at the vets when she is more confident with me - but at the moment not even my thick leather gloves and bushman's shirt were tough enough to cope with the reaction

Still, this morning was a good start, so once she is over the shock of my 'betrayal' we should be able to pick up again and start over

She's not frightened - just very much in charge methinks.

LOONEY · « **Reply #45 on:** December 06, 2007, 23:35:15 PM »

Yeh i am a granny at last!!!!! I was rather hoping for the 2 legged variety but i can wait for those, the 4 legged will fit in far better........ xx

Reynard · « **Reply #44 on:** December 06, 2007, 23:10:52 PM »

I think she'll be fine, BC! Especially that you've given her all the mod cons...

Hope she's starting to settle down, bless her.

Regarding the grooming stuff - vets do tend to be quite £££££ on those sorts of things so I'd suggest looking elsewhere i.e. pet shop, discount store, supermarket or a Wilkinson's if you've got one nearby. Slicker brushes are around the £3 to £5 mark depending on where you go and a fine pitch metal comb (essentially a flea comb) is around £1.50.

But if you've got a spare hairbrush knocking around, that'll do a reasonable job on Misty's coat to start with.

blackcat · « **Reply #43 on:** December 06, 2007, 21:20:01 PM »

I suspect it is granny cat - assuming Misty is daughter's daughter !!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #42 on:** December 06, 2007, 21:18:18 PM »

She hasnt had time to settle yet so I am sure she will................you must be Aunty Cat , I assume

blackcat · « **Reply #41 on:** December 06, 2007, 21:16:09 PM »

They are both sprawled across the loungeroom floor unconscious to all about them. Shadow has taken himself to bed but occasionally hears something in the spare room and lets out a loud bark which must frighten the life out of poor Misty. She has removed herself from under the coffee table and was last seen lurking at the foot of the climbing tower - I expect she will be out an about by morning - pity I have to give her another fright by taking her to the vet for her shots, but hopefully she will forgive me

LOONEY · « **Reply #40 on:** December 06, 2007, 21:10:17 PM »

Lol mother cat here, your crew must be desperate to get in there and see who's hiding in their tent? Good luck tomorrow xx

blackcat · « **Reply #39 on:** December 06, 2007, 18:18:16 PM »

ooooo I have a kitten talking to me - is it mother cat or baby?? She will be well spoilt by the time you get here, hopefully. Once she has had her shots will ask the vet how soon she can meet mine - I think half her problem is all the heavy breathing under the door
