There will be plenty more pics taken this wkend of them! (And Lesley, I will get pics/sizes of that cage too!) They were still a little skinny when I took that one a week or so ago, not sure they were cared for that well in their previous home as they have put on a bit of bulk since they have been at the centre and feel less bony now.

Not been able to get through to the centre on the phone to 'book' a day to pick them up, so I faxed them my home check form and said I'd like to collect them this wkend. Will send OH over on his way home from work to check they got it and all is ok!

Have to say, I'd never watched Thundercats although I was aware of my OH's slight obsession with it when he was younger, I should have seen it coming! If he insists on naming her 'Cheatara', I imagine it will get quickly shortened to 'Chi' or 'Tara'!

Wow - mexican wave smileys!!

Can't wait to get them home!!! At the moment, their names are Mitzie and Nana, I like the name Mitzie, but Nana seems an odd name for a cat so that may be changing. My OH desperately wants a cat names after one of the thundercats so he wants to call her 'Cheatara'   :shocked:

Well done Bryony,

At least you have a clean house now!  :evillaugh:

The state of someones house (within reason), doesn't come into it and I'm sure it would have been clean anyway  :hug:

I guess you couldn't take any chances after all you have bee through.

Glad you got there in the end.

We're having kitties!!  :Luv:

The lady was absolutely lovely, poor OH had cleaned the whole house and she only came through the hall and into the lounge! She was quite happy with the access to the garden, just said cats will wander anyway, safe neighbourhood etc! I think because I told her about Casper, she realised that I knew what a kitten/young cat would need and understood how manic they can be when they are little!!

I'm so excited!!!!! Thank you everyone for all your support!
