Hi everyone and
this forum is full of great advice and has really helped my decision to become owned by my new cats
Some info about me
My first cat Tipsy, came into the vet surgery after an RTA, I was doing my work experience there in my mid-teens. She was not expected to survive but after lots of TLC recovered with just some balance problems. I couldn't say goodbye after she recovered so adopted her and realised I'd never be a vet unless I had a zoo !
When old Tipsy went to the Rainbow Bridge I adopted Beau, a stray who was far more independent and lazy, he hardly ever played with toys and was a very unique person. Beau went to the Bridge 2 years ago very suddenly after a routine operation.
In March I moved into very large but one-bedroom apartment. I hoped to have another cat but worried the place wouldn't be large enough for it to be fair on them. Unsure what to do I searched the net and found Purrs In Our Hearts which gave me a ton of helpful information about indoor-only environments and making them stimulating for our cats. I still wasn't certain that my flat, even with modifications would be suitable, so kept my eyes open for expert advice.
Some weeks later an ad appeared on a local website for two young feral brothers which needed rehoming. They were recovered from a local outdoor rifle range by Cat Action. I went to meet the boys and ask the lady to come round and see if she thought my place would be suitable. The next day she visited and said she expected they would be very happy to share my home. 3 weeks ago they moved in, and slowly but surely began to trust and bond with me. Now we're almost family, and learning from each other every day.
I've only got the one pic at the moment of Hektor and Achilles the day they arrived but I'm sure there'll be more when I get a decent camera !
again for all the good advice I've had already and the all the help I'm sure to need in the future
