aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww what a nice mom youll make. what about the brain damaged one? does he get on with the 2 your going to bring home?? it would be nice for him to go somewhere with other cats he knows if they like each other. i have 2 cats as well a 2 yr old and a baby. they have their own spaces to get away from each other if they want to. if you have a big enuff house im sure 3 cats wont be a problem and like you said they were all in a tiny flat before so your house would seem like a palace. LOL good luck with your new babies!!

I have found a wood recycling place that are making me a natural cat scratcher out of a chopped down tree. They are only charging me £30 - 40 and it will be nice and natural for them. And it's environmentally friendly!

environmentally friendly??? " it was " till they chopped the tree down!!  :evillaugh: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

when do you get your master's ?? Mid Febuary???

I'm sure they will be just fine, they will probably love not having to compete with others for food and attention - I'm sure most peolpe will tell you there is always room for one more!

Yes, they have lived together - they are related. Not sure how - 21 of them living together in tiny flat so lots of interbreeding. I don't have any cats now so they will have the place to themselves. I would like to take one of their other siblings who is brain damaged and walks with his head on one side but I'm not sure my place is big enough for three! It's a big apartment, two storeys and two bedrooms and three bathrooms but don't want them to be too crowded.

I have got lots of ideas from here to make their indoor lives more interesting. And I've found this good idea for climbing. Check out the link  http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/pet-decor-2006-entries/my-designs-dreamy-cat-stairs-3-010732

Not sure if that link will work.

Hi and Welcome to Purrs,

Can't wait to see pics of your new furbabes.  If they are timid the following link may be of interest http://www.wizz-catz.co.uk/timidcat.html

Glad you managed to find a natural cat scratcher .... I have been searching the internet and I must admit I was a bit stumped (this is a first for me!!  :rofl: as I can usually manage to find a website for pretty much everything!! I found lots in the USA and the closest I found in the UK was http://www.driftwoodsculptures.co.uk/visit.htm  :evillaugh: )

All the best

Sam, Foxy, Zephyr and Rossi xxxx

Thanks everyone.

I hope everything goes well with the operation so they can come home next weekend. I am spending a small fortune on stuff for them at the moment! My friends think it is hilarious. The sooner they are the better.

Hi

I'm Anne and am new here. I am adopting 2 rescue cats but have to wait 2 whole weeks as 1 of them is having an operation. I wish I could pick them up NOW, but it is best to wait to get them both at the same time. I am consoling myself by buying loads of things for them so I can be ready for them when they come home.

They are 2 of 19 cats rescued from very bad conditions in a tiny flat. One has an ingrown eyelash (the operation). They are quite timid and will take a while to trust people. They are okay being petted but don't really like being picked up. I can't wait for them to come home so they can get lots of TLC and develop a taste for the good life. (They will be quite spoilt)javascript:void(0);

Does anyone know if the Feli stuff would be a good idea to have when they first arrive? And does anyone know where you can get cat tree / scratching posts made from driftwood?

Anne
