Having not shown much interest in the Turbo Track since the first couple of days, Noah has learned how to push the balls over the hills! Seemed a bit flummoxed pushing them under tho ... He does play a lot in the night so must have been practicing!

Just ordered Da Bird, fur attachment, straights for the Turbo Track and a honeysuckle squirrel from the Purrs shop.

Yes this sounds right and I now have a lovley new big bed but Ducha still steals my pillow and Franta also pops up and down and lies on it the other side , just as with the old bed.....sigh

Fire Fox · « **Reply #136 on:** October 26, 2009, 22:42:02 PM »

I now have a regular furry visitor on and off all night, sleeping between my feet or behind my knees rather than on the wide open space beside me!

Might be because my side of the heated blanket is on all night setting and the other side isn't? Also had our first (hopefully last) wee out of the tray when very bad slave did not clean the tray quickly enough.

Have ordered a Dragonfly toy as penance; next purchase to be a second litter tray!

Oh Firefox - you have indeed "arrived." You are now, a proper Meowmy. Never will your bed be quite the same again.....

Fab news! Looks like he has found his true bed at last!

Fire Fox · « **Reply #128 on:** October 23, 2009, 12:55:26 PM »

More progress to report! This morning while it was still dark

I received my first furry visitor! Noah stayed on my bed for two and a half hours, we had a cuddle and then he settled down by my legs. I say 'settled' but actually he was intermittently having a very thorough wash and pouncing on the appliqued ribbons on my duvet cover!!

Last night he played football for ages with a ball of tin foil.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #127 on:** October 22, 2009, 18:25:04 PM »

So glad he has taken to the chicken wings, my lot wont entertain them!

He sound's like a real character!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #126 on:** October 22, 2009, 17:31:44 PM »

Awwwwww, i'm so pleased that Noah is coming along so nicely and has his forever home

Fire Fox · « **Reply #123 on:** October 21, 2009, 20:58:46 PM »

You may have read on another thread that my little experiment with a chicken wing was a resounding success! He purred loudly before I'd even got it into his bowl and then promptly devoured it. As Noah much preferred to eat raw meat on my cream rug rather than the washable laminate, I folded the rug in two. Very funny solo play this evening, sticking his head inside the two halves of the rug and pouncing on nothing along the rolled edge!

I think a chicken wing might just be the thing to keep him still long enough for a photo opportunity ...

Bazsmum · « **Reply #122 on:** October 20, 2009, 12:14:09 PM »

Aw! What fun he is having....So glad this lad has landed on his paws with such a loving, attentive meowmy!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #121 on:** October 19, 2009, 22:00:32 PM »

Bless him! What a a big brave boy he's turning out to be

I personally think the Purrs shop is a no brainer - the best toys, good prices, very reasonable p & p charges (determined by weight of order), quick deliveries and best of all every penny profit goes to help cats less fortunate than ours

Will have to let Tan know about MSE so she can see where the extra revenue is probably coming from!

Mousie is a mouse of many talents, he can be dragged, flown, flicked... It's much smaller than you'd imagine and I have no idea what it is about him but both of mine literally go crazy for him.

The fur attachment doesn't really do it for my two, it gets a 6/10 compared to Da Mouse which is 11/10.

I had a spare da mouse in my make up case for ages, one day a week or so ago Riley was on the bed and spotted him and was desparately trying to get him. I hid him and carried on doing my make up but for a week after Riley was obsessed with the make up case as he was looking for Mr Mouse. He even started chewing the corner of the case to try and get him - it's one of those metal flight case type things!

It's made out of a brush type material and is teeny but very attractive to cats apparently!

Cats are so funny! Noah just chased around after the laser pointer, and as he cornered on the rug he caught the (fire) door which is propped open with a huge rubber wedge. The door started to close and Noah's back end leapt in the air. Instead of scooting off in fright as I expected he crouched low and stared at the wedge with his head on one side, then started patting it with one paw!!

I am not the only one recommending Purrs shop on MSE, but I do keep posting links to or recommending YouTube to see how the toys work. Once you have seen the Turbo Track or Da Bird you are going to want one!!

Tan will have you struck off Purrs for trying to drive her into the ground

She said a few days ago that shop orders had gone 'ballistic' and it's probably thanks to the good recommendations on MSE as that site has a mahoosive following!

Seriously though,

for the positive recommendations

The more toys that are sold the more dosh goes to cat rescues

Yes mousie, you just pull along the floor but his fur is a bit rough and wasnt sure it would be good for Noahs paws...but as you know there are so many oother toys and definately unique to the UK

Sounds like it's all going well If you're getting Da Bird and pole then you MUST (yes - bold, italic AND underline) get a 'Da Mouse' attachment, my boys go mental for it!

I thought about Da Mouse as Noah has a mouse very similar that he likes to bat around, but thought I might get the furry tail-like attachment instead as it would be softer? Do you just pull Da Mouse along the floor? Whatever I order next, it's unlikely that this will be my last Purrs shop purchase!! I have my eye on the Rattle Pongs and also some straight extensions to the Turbo Track. I am recommending Purrs shop regularly on the MSE forums, as the customer service is very good and the toys unique in the UK!

Just to think this little lad feels like playing again after what he'd been through is an absolute tonic!

Can't wait to see the piccies.

Fire Fox · « **Reply #112 on:** October 19, 2009, 18:57:34 PM »

Hi all! Noah is now playing more but still not for long each time: this afternoon he was chasing in circles and pouncing on nothing which was very funny! His foster mum says she has never seen him do that, I think it's because he has a big open space to play in. He has been naughty for the first time trying to scratch on one of my oak doors, and miaowed at me when I told him off.

Noah has two cardboard scratch boxes that he uses daily but maybe he needs something vertical as well?

He is interested in the Turbo Track but I haven't seen him play with it much, tho I am sure he does overnight! As soon as I get paid I am ordering Da Bird from Purrs shop and also this Dragonfly toy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V99Ln1pLUtM&feature=related
I need my best friend to come over so she can take pictures while we play: it's just impossible to get a non-blurry action shot with a mobile phone in one hand and a toy in the other!

He sounds like he's settling in just fine

Don't count your chickens yet with worktops though

I thought I was onto a winner with Poot, until he learned what they were exactly 2 months after he came to live with us

Dawn F · « **Reply #109 on:** October 15, 2009, 16:05:04 PM »

he sounds pretty settled!

Fire Fox · « **Reply #108 on:** October 15, 2009, 16:03:49 PM »

Hiya!

Noah remains largely superglued to the sofa but as of yesterday was given access to the rest of the flat. He has explored over multiple forays, returning regularly as if to check that everything was ok - very cute! Unfortunately if I attempt to follow him for a photo-opportunity he hightails it back in to the living area.

He didn't sleep with me last night, and was upset for a couple of hours this morning after I vacuumed so there is still lots of work to be done. He's started to play in short bursts, both with me and solo which is funny to watch - he has a felt fish that he hugs with his front paws and kicks with his back legs!

Noah is absolutely adorable, very affectionate and well behaved - doesn't attempt to go onto the kitchen worktops or scratch anything other than his scratching box: all in all I am a very lucky slave!

Pictures can wait, Noah is the most important thing right now

Fire Fox · « **Reply #105 on:** October 12, 2009, 19:43:32 PM »

Apologies to all for the absence of pictures. Noah has graduated from the storage unit to sitting beside me on the sofa most of the day, which is lovely but no good for photos as he is effectively camoflaged!

The few times he has been off the sofa he has been very camera shy, and even retreated under the sofa again for a brief period this evening. I've also noticed Noah has a 'safe zone' which doesn't include the kitchen end of the room so have moved his feeding bowl up to encourage him to explore.

Hehe - good luck with the camera!

Great news about how he's getting on! Don't worry about the crying at night, my Katie does is sometimes and when we first got her we thought she was crying through distress or something, but every time we went through to comfort her, she was playing with her mouse so we think that she's almost singing to herself and is happy

I hope it's OK if when you post pictures, I can use some of them in the next newsletter for the branch as he has SO many fans waiting to hear how he's getting on!

Give him lots of hugs from us all here at Adel CP - we love you Noah!

Yes of course you can use any photographs - today's mission is to work out how to use my digital camera and upload pictures (not very technical

).

We had lots of cuddles and purring yesterday, but Noah seemed too distracted by new sights and sounds to want to play much. He did briefly retreat under the sofa when I opened the windows for a bit of air - not impressed by bus engines, a dog barking, the clock tower chiming or a group of men shouting! But he emerged quickly after each fright and seems to enjoy watching the world go by. I *think* I was awoken at 4am by miaowing, but when I came out to Noah he was on the sofa and didn't appear to be distressed at all. A little more

before I went back to bed: not sure whether he was bored, lonely, hungry or cold ... seems fine this morning.
