Blimey that's a grand old age !!!

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #35 on:** May 15, 2013, 21:42:59 PM »

14s not old! My previous 2 lived to 19 and 20 respectively (they were litter mates) and were both fit and active well into their old age

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #34 on:** May 15, 2013, 21:39:16 PM »

Yup, even my current vet admits she's worked for some real stinkers...

Oh bless him what a lovely boy ! I used to enjoy lookin after all the oldies at the surgery they are so regal and thoughtful-looking!

Thanks Gill

I came out 9yrs ago, really bad experience with a practise and got a very real and startling view on how demonic and greedy some vets are :-/

I'm happy to help out any way I can with any issues

I'm sure many of us have "greedy unscrupulous vet" stories, too, but many a time the punter has no clue what's really going on. It's good to know it's recognised from inside the profession as well.

So excited for you.

My last kitten, Beau the cat, is still with me at 14 although nowadays he only has three teeth and is deaf as a post, but he still managed to play with his feather-onna-stick like a one year old tonight, and looks guilty as a busted teenager most of the time.

Thank you

can't wait to snuggle her :D

Hi what an absolutely GORGEOUS baby. Makes me all maternal. GOOD LUCK.

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #30 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:37:31 PM »

Once I know what she likes then I'll definitely be getting her numerous hides holes or snugly blankets

oooh exciting!

Greenlaner · « **Reply #29 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:34:30 PM »

Mines has got all kinds of baskets. He drops in and out of them at his whim. I only had three weeks between losing the other of old age and getting Little Billy as I called him then. He is somewhat heavier now and still as adorable.

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #28 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:30:02 PM »

I'll have everything set up ready for her

not sure if she'll be a bed-cat or a blanket-cat but gonna get her s nice scratch/activity post and plenty if toys

Greenlaner · « **Reply #27 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:27:50 PM »

They are lovely when they first move in and all the following years afterwards. Mines is as happy as could be. Sitting in his basket. He is quite good using this tablet for his posts though

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #26 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:25:06 PM »

I'm bursting to get her here, she's leaving mum cat around 15th June but I want to be sure she's ready before taking her away. My maternal mummy hormones will be going berserk!!

Greenlaner · « **Reply #25 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:21:38 PM »

My cat Billy is ever on saying his piece

He's having a treat for his 7th birthday next Tuesday from a very nearby PAH store in Glasgow.

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #24 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:18:32 PM »

Lol well rest assured Tuppy will be posting her first 'hello' once she's settled

Greenlaner · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:16:46 PM »

My previous older model lasted to nearly 18. Billy is young really. There is a few characters chatting on there but the cats have to put their names on else Sasa, the cat moderator, is soon on to check out the situation.

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #22 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:11:21 PM »

Thanks greenlaner...I don't have any oldies, but hoping Tippy will live to a good old age

Greenlaner · « **Reply #21 on:** May 15, 2013, 19:09:25 PM »

you should find all the info you need on here. Friendly site. Older cats have their own chat place.

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #20 on:** May 15, 2013, 11:27:49 AM »

Thanks jackspratt...don't worry there will be loads : D

Welcome to the site, Emily.

Hoping for lots of Tippy photos when she's with you in her new home!

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #18 on:** May 15, 2013, 07:48:58 AM »

Hi Sue

Thank you, yes looking forward to getting her home! I have a 4yr old son and he's excited too!

Looking forward to sharing her journey with you guys, can't wait to get stuck in and start buying bits, just searching for the best bargains before getting carried away!!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #17 on:** May 15, 2013, 07:43:45 AM »

Hello Lady McTavish - welcome to Purrs

Tippy looks sooooo lovely!!!! Bet you can't wait to have her home. She sounds like she's going to be one lucky little girl with her new family

Hope you enjoy having a look around the forum and making new friends. When Tippy comes home, she can even have a bash at posting on the Cats very own board (hoomans shtrickly not allowed....

)

to Purrs and that kitten is sooooooooooooooooo sweet

A vn hmmmmmmmmmm always welcome here

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2013, 21:33:09 PM »

Wow your a minefield of useful information! I look forward to picking your brains in the future!! I used to be a vn so did basic behavioural studies, tbh I'm better with dogs behaviours, but I know enough to get me through, anything else and I'll be straight on here

Looking forward to having a good browse

sheilarose · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2013, 21:30:05 PM »

Well if you look up there

in the top corner, Purrs has its own shop where you'll find all sorts of goodies. Click on the banner.

The operator is the Purrs forum owner, our Tan.

Then there's a good few on-line stores like Zooplus (get membership for discounts), Animed Direct (free delivery), Bestpet (free delivery) and VetUK (great for meds) that are open to the public, you'll find your way around I'm sure. Pets At Home also sell on-line but I find their prices less competitive and delivery expensive. Be sure, though, that just sometimes, the best bargains are still on Amazon or E-bay

There's a section on here for best bargains, keep an eye on there for the latest posts for food and other offers (as this is predominantly a rescue site, our rescues are REALLY hot for bargains - so if you find one, post it!)

I won't flood you with stuff right now, but do have a wander around the forum. Especially useful are the health and behaviour guides - there's a section on just about every topic, written by experts and referred to by us all from time to time.

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #12 on:** May 14, 2013, 21:15:08 PM »

Thanks Sheila

Oh while I remember, what's the best way to find good bargains for scratch posts and beds??

sheilarose · « **Reply #11 on:** May 14, 2013, 21:13:14 PM »

Emily - Tippy is squueekily cute!

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #10 on:** May 14, 2013, 21:02:31 PM »

Thanks reebz

there are some seriously gorgeous fluff balls on here. !!

ReeBz · « **Reply #9 on:** May 14, 2013, 21:00:06 PM »

Cute little fluff ball! Welcome to the forum.

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #8 on:** May 14, 2013, 20:36:51 PM »

She's just over 3weeks ATM, she's such a character >..<

to the forum

your kitten is gorgeous - how old is she ?

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #6 on:** May 14, 2013, 20:13:17 PM »

She's veerrrry pretty!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #5 on:** May 14, 2013, 20:11:38 PM »

How cute is she?!

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #4 on:** May 14, 2013, 20:09:55 PM »

Hello !! Yes I have a couple of pics :D

She's my first kitten, but I've had many cats before, usually rescues. Also had dogs and small furries too

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #3 on:** May 14, 2013, 20:02:14 PM »

to Purrs

Glad you've found us, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. It really is a very friendly forum with lots of friendly helpful advice, if ever needed, and of course lots of fun.

I do feel it my public duty to warn you though that it can be a teensy bit addictive

You have been warned

Will Tippy be your first experience of a feline or have you had cats before? Do you have any pics you'd like to share?

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #2 on:** May 14, 2013, 19:53:41 PM »

Hello and

LadyMcTavish · « **Reply #1 on:** May 14, 2013, 19:37:18 PM »

I'm Emily and we're getting our first kitten mid June and we're calling her Tippy
