Thanks again for your comments  :thanks:

Lovely pics of a real stunner Sylvia.  What's Charlie's story?

All I know so far is that Charlie is 3 years old.  His fosterer Dee said that he is a proper cuddle cat, though we haven't seen much of that yet, and that he was "Very much like James but more of a comic and playful", which he certainly is.  On his Cat Chat homing page, it said that he had been attacked by a dog, but was fully healed now.  I need to find out if Dee knows any more.

He is gorgeous!!!
If he is FIV+ then I think he would have caught it being a ladies man!  :Luv: :evillaugh:
My Benji who has it was obviously a bit of a bruiser rather than a ladies man  :rofl: poor Benji (I still think my bruiser boy is gorgeous tho!)

Thank you for all your lovely comments.  I may be a little biased here, but we think Charlie is a gorgeous boy, although we have been finding out that he can be a bit of a handful  ;D

So far he has been rescued from the top of the TV in our bedroom (its a flat screen one), rescued from the mantelpiece (or rather everying on the mantelpiece rescued from him), he has knocked the bins over in the kitchen, and he has been behind the TV in the living room, in the back of the airing cupboard, down the back of my PC and behind the desk in the study.  You would think after all these years I should know better  :scared: :tired: :shify: :innocent:

But if you put your face down to his, he gives you little furry kisses, and you just have to forgive him everything  :Luv: :Luv2:

He is such a handsome boy it would not be fair if he was FIV positive.

Charlie says thank you for all your kind comments  :thanks:

What's his personality like?

Charlie seems to be quite a confident little fellow and is very talkative and playful.  He chirps and chirrups quite a lot, so there's no problem in knowing where he is  :shify:

Initially the gang was a bit taken aback when they met him, because he doesn't seem to be aware of anyone's personal space, and rushed right up to them, and sniffed their noses  :rofl:  They seem to be getting a bit more used to him now.  Sweepy now seems to be happy sitting on my lap when Charlie is by my side.  ;D

Welcome To Champagne Charlie
« Reply #1 on: November 20, 2010, 16:40:46 PM »
After loosing Jerry, we received such a lovely email from his fosterer Dee who he had been with for 5-6 months.  She was obviously heartbroken, as we were, but she mentioned Charlie and said that she realised that it was too soon.  After discussing him with Jim, even though I felt that I needed more time, we decided that we could offer Charlie a home.

Charlie's official name on his vaccination certificate , microchip form and now on his insurance documents is Champagne Charlie  :wow:

Charlie is with us now, so I would now like to welcome him to his new family, and to introduce him to you  :welcome:

Here are a few pictures of our boy  :sneaky:

Its very scary having a camera pointed at you on your first day




Settling in .......








Of course we are not allowed on the kitchen work surfaces  :innocent:


Oh! And there's a gold star for anyone who guesses his FIV status correctly  :rofl:
