What a timely reminder to look at these photographs again and grin from ear to ear....!

Thanks everyone,

sorry took so long to respond, cat sitting has been extra busy these past few months

Gillian, I do hope you're suitably proud of yourself. You've done amazingly with Chico.

So happy to hear this news about Chico

Love the pics too

Awww Gillian, that is wonderful news

He looks so content

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #241 on:** April 26, 2013, 17:37:05 PM »

Hmmn, what do I think...

Think that just about sums it up

Absolutely fantastic news, even moreso seeing how King Chico is obviously worshipped by the whole family, made me a bit misty eyed so God knows how you must feel Gillian

cazzer · « **Reply #240 on:** April 26, 2013, 16:21:12 PM »

Oh how wonderful to see him so settled. I've also always had a soft spot for him as I love my colour points.

SOOO happy for Chico

Hopefully the pain of letting him go has eased knowing he is happy in his new home.

I know they are only photos, but it does look like they love him a lot!!!

It does, doesn't it - that's the most rewarding thing about looking at them - he's with every member of the family by the looks of things, and he looks very well content.

Yes, Sly - I do believe they are Fish Fingurs in that piccie. Poor Chico had no Fish Fingurs for a longa longa time.

He was in such a state when Gillian first took him in - couldnt believe the difference in a cat in a couple of weeks. And to see him now....... I definitely think there's pedigree in him with enough mog to make the sum of the parts an echantingly handsome whole.

Loving the fact he's having a good look to see if there's any beans and chips for him, and helping his little girl to get out of (into?) bed.

sheilarose · « **Reply #233 on:** April 26, 2013, 09:44:56 AM »

Just took a stroll back to Chico's first pics on here (He's been on Purrs loner than me!) and his poor wounded neck

He's cost you more than just love and perseverance, hasn't he Gillian?

Dawn F · « **Reply #232 on:** April 26, 2013, 08:36:03 AM »

oh my that is wonderful news!!!! (and good to see you around!!)

sheilarose · « **Reply #231 on:** April 26, 2013, 07:51:30 AM »

Oh Gillian this is wonderful news

Chico has always had a special place in my heart too, his status was never going to make re-homing easy, but it looks like it was worth the wait. What a lovely family he's got now! I'm assuming he's an only cat to be quite THAT happy so soon?

Well done, I bet it was a bit of a wrench for you though? He's been with you ages.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #230 on:** April 26, 2013, 07:20:03 AM »

Oh Lordy Lordy Lordy!!! You have no idea how ridiculously happy seeing those pics has made me feel this morning!!

Am grinning from ear to ear. Chico is such a lovely cat, and he so deserved the best, but it just goes to show how you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your Prince sometimes.

He looks sooooo settled, and is clearly loved by his new family. Well done Chico - you worked your magic on the people who were most able to appreciate it after all.

May you have a long and very happy life in your new family.

Oooohooooohoooo - I'm almost doing a tigger dance - bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy - fun-fun-fun-fun-fun!!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #229 on:** April 26, 2013, 00:20:05 AM »

Just wonderful news for Chico and am so pleased for him

maryas · « **Reply #228 on:** April 25, 2013, 23:22:42 PM »

Aaaw I am so happy for Chico - he deserves a great life and it looks well and truly great.

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #227 on:** April 25, 2013, 23:00:23 PM »

Awww that's great. I love it when a difficult to home cat finally hits the jackpot.

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #226 on:** April 25, 2013, 22:44:06 PM »

and more pics

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #225 on:** April 25, 2013, 22:40:38 PM »

So after the first 'failed' homing, Chico is now completely settled in his forever home. He's been there about a month now and I think you'll agree he's landed on his feet!

maryas · « **Reply #224 on:** February 06, 2013, 12:57:53 PM »

So how is Chico enjoying 2013 in his old home

Mary

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #223 on:** January 08, 2013, 18:56:35 PM »

Sorry to hear this Gillian, it was worth a go though - if you don't shoot you don't score

As others have said he's lucky that he has a loving home to come back to

emmmy_lou · « **Reply #222 on:** January 08, 2013, 12:15:31 PM »

Am just catching up after the festivities, so sorry it didn't work out for Chico

Jiji · « **Reply #221 on:** January 08, 2013, 11:50:25 AM »

So sad that he was so dominant with the other cat but at least he has a wonderful, caring home to come back to

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #220 on:** January 08, 2013, 09:21:08 AM »

Am truly very sorry it didn't work out Gillian

Very much hope the right home turns up but meanwhile he is coming back to his mom who loves him dearly and knows what makes him tick

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #219 on:** January 08, 2013, 06:54:42 AM »

I dont know whether to say am sad or glad. I feel a bit of both i guess. Like you Gillian, I think all of us just wantt o see Chico happy, and it seems to date he's happiest with you.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #218 on:** January 07, 2013, 23:55:02 PM »

So sorry it didnt work out for Chico, I think he just wanted to come back home

maryas · « **Reply #217 on:** January 07, 2013, 23:18:42 PM »

Glad to hear Chico is coming back home to you - sorry but I am

He loves it with you and he knows how to dominate YOU Gillian

Mary

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #216 on:** January 07, 2013, 23:06:21 PM »

No, Chico wouldnt have been able to go outside there anyway - its a flat and no outside space. I didnt have high expectations myself of this working - Chico is a dominant cat - it was just if there was a chance it might work then I had to try for him. It has escalated today, with fur flying apparently

Initial reports werent brilliant anyway and the update tonight has confirmed it really.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #215 on:** January 07, 2013, 22:35:27 PM »

Oh Gillian; forgive me but really he hasn't been there very long

Any chance at all of persuading the lady to give him another week?

We had such a bad time of it with Freddie & Billy Whiz to start with including the crate business but they became the very best of buddies before too long esp after Fred was allowed outside or is Chico going to be indoor only due to FIV status?

Just seems very soon

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #214 on:** January 07, 2013, 22:23:40 PM »

Chico's coming back

he's too dominant with the other cat, hounding the poor thing when he's trying to use the litter tray, or when he's eating . The lady had Chico in a crate to start with, lots of feliway on the go, exchanging scents, supervised meetings etc, but no go. Well, I guess its proved something (that I probably already knew), that he needs to be Top Cat

and the only cat.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #213 on:** January 02, 2013, 07:42:57 AM »

Have everything crossed that Chico's new home will work out so well for him that he never has to leave or worry about his future ever again.

Sending hugs for you too, as I know you'll miss him very much, but you've always set out to do the right thing for this beautiful boy, and all being well, things will work out splendidly.

sheilarose · « **Reply #212 on:** January 01, 2013, 17:06:16 PM »

This is very hopeful, Gill.

What a wonderful start for him for the New Year. Well done for caring for him for so long, it must be a real wrench after so long to say goodbye.

Dawn F · « **Reply #211 on:** January 01, 2013, 14:10:03 PM »

what an unexpected update! like everyone else I'm sure I thought he was now one of yours - I hope it works out for him, he is such a lovely boy but hugs to you, it must have been like giving away one of your own

nickynoo93 · « **Reply #210 on:** January 01, 2013, 11:46:09 AM »

Well done Chico, really hope he settles in his new home, he is a gorgeous boy, you've done so well by him.

cazzer · « **Reply #209 on:** January 01, 2013, 09:49:28 AM »

hope it all goes well for Chico and sending some

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #208 on:** January 01, 2013, 09:33:48 AM »

I was only thinking about Chico (and you!) the other day as we hadn't heard from you for a while. What great news to start the year off!

Have everything crossed that it works out, for him

it's bound to be upsetting to see him go off as you've looked after him for so long and restored him to his former glory from the bedraggled scrap he was when you found him

Jiji · « **Reply #207 on:** January 01, 2013, 08:05:21 AM »

Hoping Choco's new home works out although I know you must miss him
