Anka, Teddy is a very handsome beast

Ok 2 weeks to go ... not much time left to find lovely homes for those 2 cuties....

Wish I could find a job NOW and just keep them

Last time I took him to the vets for his vaccinations, vet lifted the basket and started telling me off for having a cat that is THAT overweight..... then he saw Teddy coming out and his eyes popped out (vet's not Teddys, Teddy is calm as a cucumber), and vet asked me if that PUMA is going to kill him LOL

Teddy just sat there, was not botehred by the needle, took a worming tablet, allowed his ears to be checked... classy cat LOL

Teddy is just one gorgeous hunk

Size is all relative lol and it was when I saw him with all the other cats eating

and with front end on the cat tree and back end on another level

I thought Misa was big at 6.5 kgs!

I use the Purrs link (when I remember

), same deal, it just goes in the Purrs fundraising coffers

Can I mention that if you link to Zooplus (and loads of other great retailers like Amazon and John Lewis) via Easyfundraising . org.uk you can donate up to 2.5% of your purchase to the (cat ?) charity of your choice, for free?

Registration is free, everything else is just shopping as normal.

Christmas shopping anyone?

Yup, research is good, research is brilliant - keep on researching.....

For research purposer - they all use litter trays now (daughter had to but the small ones with low sides as kitties could not get into the biog ones.. problem is the adult cats CAN get into the tiney ones so lots of sweeping going on)

Also for research purpose - the all eat kitten food now.. they still molest their mum but they also eat kitten food.

And, again for research purose - they will all be flea treated and wormed on the 23rd.... They were born on 5th October - so you can remember their birthday - for research purpose of course....

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #73 on:** November 06, 2011, 14:50:34 PM »

Damn you both and your cute babies!

I'm still in denial, I shall remain there for at least 1 hour a day until I either get sensible (not known for this) or give in (more likely).

I'm off to sulk/be excited.

I may also have filled my basket on Zooplus with what I would need should I ever decide to add some extra mouths, just for research you understand.............

Anka · « **Reply #72 on:** November 06, 2011, 14:41:51 PM »

FC - AND picking YOUR babies up you will meet Teddy too..... tempting, huh?

The babies pick up wil be from me, not from my daughter's..

I am picking them up from my daughter' s and taking Lucy and babies to CH in the morning of the 23, babies will be flea treated and wormed/checked over and are coming home with me here to wait for their mum's to pick them up.

Lucy's mum will be picking her up at CH where I will meet her when it is the time to collect Lucy after her spay/worming/flea treatment...

Will be a bit of military operation as I do not drive/have no access to a car and I am in between my Daughter (Leyton/Wathamstow) and CH (Canning Town) so bit of thought needs to go into this one.. sigh.... BUt as long as they are all going to be well taken care off this will be great....

Anka · « **Reply #71 on:** November 06, 2011, 14:37:16 PM »

Oh yes, Xmas tree and kittens.. remember that one too well - one year was waking up and picking up EVERY single decoration off the floor and detanglisg kitties running around wearing tinsel and other bits and pieces..... Much easier when they swing on the curtains, isnt it? LOL

LOL - Teddy used to be my cat when he was a baby, then split up with ex who took Teddy, last year ex emailes me out of the blue that he can not keep him and asking if I will have him.....so Teddy is back with me (after few years).

He is tottaly useless as a cat - he comes home to eat/pee/poo and then destroys the draft excluder at the front door asking me (yeahhhh demanding) to be taken out again. I live in a flat (1 floor) so have to take him down and then go and get him again.

he is the softest cat I have ever seen BUT he will never cuddle up to you - he only comes to you when he wants out...

Total waste of money on cat food on that one if you ask me

He lives here and at one of the neighbours - they have 2 kids and Teddy likes to go there, get in through a window and collapse on their bed/carpet/worktop for a nap.... sigh.... and I feed him, vaccinate him, flea/worm him.. sigh... total waste of money LOL

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #66 on:** November 06, 2011, 12:47:24 PM »

I LOVE Teddy, can I just have him please? Dave's eyes would pop out of his head

I have a friend who already insists my Dave isn't a domestic cat so heaven knows what he'd make of Teddy!

Apparently, I've already made my decision, given that I'm picturing them destroying my Christmas decorations already, but I'm still somewhat in denial................

Anka · « **Reply #65 on:** November 06, 2011, 11:28:39 AM »

Pls meet Teddy LOL

The one below him is 4.5 kg Fred....

Teddy sleep like a suparman, ready to fly,......

Anka · « **Reply #64 on:** November 06, 2011, 11:26:00 AM »

Well.... My Teddy is 7.5 kg so... my big cat is bigger than your big cat LOL

Still 2.5 weeks to go till the 23rd though so keep pondering - unless someone else comes along and decides to give a lovely home to both ....

Wish I ould afford an extra one (or two) but really can not - wrote this on my forehead now and keep on looking in the mirror to remind myself.

Especially since seeing them yeaterday.....

But with the 2 cats YOU describe ermmmmm 2 kitties could gang up against the 2 adults you see

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #63 on:** November 06, 2011, 11:22:58 AM »

Hehe, curiosity eh? Well, colouring doesn't matter to me, personality is the main consideration. I have a very boisterous 6.5kg boy and a mouthy (but really all mouth) girl so a confident little one who can hold their own would be best!

Anka · « **Reply #62 on:** November 06, 2011, 09:55:21 AM »

On a serious note though - nobody can make the decision for you because it is YOU who would have to look after them and meet the cost of keeping 2 extra kittens and only YOU can decide if you are able to do it.

I know I can not, my daughter can not either - and believe me, after being there yesterday I personally would have BOTH of them little ones... they are just so much fun and so lovely - curious and funny.

As they were being handled pretty much from day one (as soon as they were dry LOL) - they will make wonderful pets. They really like to be picked up and stroked and made fuss of, very sociable little things...

Out of pure curiosity - I know you said you would definitely take one but are pondering about two... which one of the 2 did you have in mind? The dark (marble) one or the lighter (stripey) one? Just wondering.....

Anka · « **Reply #61 on:** November 06, 2011, 09:22:28 AM »

OK, decision made - those 2 are YOURS LOL

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #60 on:** November 06, 2011, 08:33:41 AM »

Just dropping in to say I am still torn, argh! They are absolutely gorgeous and definitely pulling at my heart strings. Why can't someone else just make the decision for me

Yes, Fiona is very good with the babies but my daughter has to keep an eye on Phoebe (black and white as Phoebe beats the ctap out of my 7.5kg Teddy when Phoebe stays over here ... Not sure if she is scared of the babies or just simply does not liek them but she is never left alone with them just in case...

Fiona though is absoutely great

And yes, Lucy will be picked up by her mum on the 23rd straight from the vets after her spay - and will be the only princess at home so hopefully will put on some weight then. She eats like a horse but with so many babies... she is just skin and bones poor thing

there is much more vidas of the kitties here:

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #57 on:** November 05, 2011, 23:23:08 PM »

What a good Auntie Fiona is!

Love how Lucy was going from bowl to bowl topping herself up

It must be very draining on her raising the babies at such a young age herself, hopefully she'll fill out a bit once she goes to her new home. They all seem to get on very well considering how Lucy suddenly appeared in Fiona & Phoebe's house before giving birth and taking the place over with all the little ones!

Anka · « **Reply #56 on:** November 05, 2011, 23:13:29 PM »

From today - auntie Fiona (silver tabby) looking after Lucy's babies.. Phoebe (black and white) auntie - seems to be scared of them.... Lucy - to compare to Fiona and Phoebe (who both got double chins LOL) is just skin and bones... despite eating for 3-4 cats herself

Thank you

Got a bit side tracked, the main point is.... we are looking for a lovely home for those 2 cuties

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #54 on:** November 05, 2011, 00:36:37 AM »

Fantastic pics

Whoever adopts the last two babies will be the lucky one, that's for sure

Those kitties from photos below are now all grown up but Zara loves kittens and cats in general - OUR ones that is, outside she still tries to chase them (wont allow her , she is on a lead) but whatever is at home is HER baby......
The 2 boys are with me, ginger George and Tabby Fred - I laso have a 7.5 kg silver Teddy with white socks and chest, he looks like s staff.... The 2 girls - Fiona (silver tabby) and Phoebe (black and white) moved out with my daughter last summer and are good aunties to Lucy's kitties now...

Anka · « **Reply #51 on:** November 04, 2011, 19:04:12 PM »

the first photo - yup, Zara was "feeding" George when he was tiney... then he used to give her a proper massage... George is really Zara's cat... sigh....

Anka · « **Reply #50 on:** November 04, 2011, 18:49:00 PM »

Sheila- it is my daughter not me who took Lucy in and looks after her and babies.. credit to her not me.

BUT - if anyone knows of a pregnant homeless cat in need of a temporary home ... I have a spare room......

I know CH provides all food and litter for their fostered cats, not sure if other recues do that too?

Called /emailed them several times with my offer but nobody got back to me

Can look after them but could not afford to finance it

YES - I do have a massive 35 kg of a German Shepherd killer dog, pls see for yourself...

sheilarose · « **Reply #49 on:** November 04, 2011, 18:37:37 PM »

That is a shame, I wonder what's wrong?

There are plenty of other rescues both here on Purrs and Catchat. My friend runs London Cat Rescue in Finsbury Park and she does all the home checks herself, and her own fundraising, and delivers the cats personally using the tube and busses - a proper hero, a bit like yourself, Anka, but on a full time basis.

Her homechecks focus more on the quality of care and suiting the cat to the home, rather than a standard tick-list that so often includes gardens and catflaps (like some larger National rescue associations do).

Most independent rescues have more flexibility as they can offer more personal, tailored service.

Anka · « **Reply #48 on:** November 04, 2011, 18:27:06 PM »

Sheila - she has already spoken to CH in Lewisham but they are taking ages for home check/decision... that puts lots of people off, shame as they have so many kitties at CH.... lots of people told me that they waited and waited for a home visit and nobody ever turned up so they got cats elsewhere...

sheilarose · « **Reply #47 on:** November 04, 2011, 18:23:20 PM »

You might also bring Catchat to her attention, Anka.

Here's the link http://www.catchat.org/adoption/londone.html

I've cheekily directed the tlink to the East London resue page where Celia advertises.

Anka · « **Reply #46 on:** November 04, 2011, 17:35:39 PM »

A ladyhas just msg me on another (MSE) forum asking about 2 kittens... Invited her here as we have so many kitties on the board, apart from Lucy's babies....

Anka · « **Reply #45 on:** November 03, 2011, 18:51:18 PM »

LOL

You know I am joking here, do not want anyone to feel pushed into taking 2 kittens, I do realise it is a lot of extra responsibility and cost too.

But we really, REALLY want the to go together to the same home...

1 that goes on his own is going where there is 4 cats already, the other 2 are going together so those 2 - we would love to be together too, they are so cute and fun to watch when they play/chase one another little ones....

Lucy is going on her own but I have a feeling Lucy will enjoy to be the only cat at home, and she needs to be - and be spoilt rotten by her human slave after her tought start in life....

So - keep pondering but pls do not feel pushed in any way....

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #44 on:** November 03, 2011, 18:48:01 PM »

Okay, I'm continuing my pondering, I'll try to make it short
