I can't wait to hear about them coming home Mary

We lost Cidie and Kennedy within 6 months of each other which was devastating however the house and our hearts felt empty without a cat in them so were down the rescue centre within a week. We went for one cat but well....you know....Callie and Monty were inseparable!

We were cat free for a few months after Punky died at the age of 20 - we got her and her brother (who died the previous year) at the age of 7 weeks. I had promised hubby that I wouldn't get another cat straight away but I was soooo unhappy without at least one. Then Alfie turned up on our doorstep

Us crazy cat ladies aren't complete with at least one cat around. I remember a few years ago when I didn't have a cat for the first time every. My husband commenting that my only real ambition was to get another cat. He knows me so well.

maryas · « **Reply #74 on:** May 09, 2015, 14:26:33 PM »

That's right

I never thought I would be wanting to clean out litter trays etc. as much as I do now

I have 2 trays ready for them and all the cat dishes I have ae all clean and waiting to be full of food and water.

Blankets, cat beds, my bed etc. are all waiting to be laid on

The most important things like the camera and my 100% love are definitely ready

However, I am so glad that they take the time tomake sure they are as well as they can possibly be before they let them go to their forever home.

They are well worth the wait.

I thought that your name was Mary?

I think Mary was quoting the email from Linda at the RSPCA.

Shame you have to wait a bit longer but it sounds like they are in good hands and being well looked after. Bet you are impatient to get them home

emmmy_lou · « **Reply #70 on:** May 08, 2015, 09:35:58 AM »

Aaaw, I was thinking I was going to come on here today and you would have them home!!!

Sorry you have to wait longer Mary but better safe than sorry

True but I bet you cant wait!!!

Yer, but NEVER a failed cat lover

Here's the latest email from RSPCA:

Kitty has now seen the vet, and is doing well. We have looked into her notes and the good news is, she has already been spayed, so we won't need to do that procedure.

The vet would like her to stay on some thyroid tablets for a further two weeks, and then we can do another blood test. If all is well, we can go ahead and give her a dental and an ears flush.

Kitty was really good for the vet - bless her! I hope you don't mind waiting a bit longer for them both - they are definitely worth the wait.

Thanks again for your patience,

Linda x

Oh yes I forgot you were a failed fosterer lol

maryas · « **Reply #66 on:** May 02, 2015, 15:22:15 PM »

That's great

Drum and Bass fell on their paws with you

Similar thing with me and Bonnie as most of you know. I said Iwould foster a cat, went to the RSPCA on the Friday and gave them my cat carrier and they brought it in to the Reception area and Bonnie was in it.

Didn't get a proper look at her until I let her out at home and the rest is a very lovely history

jezebel · « **Reply #65 on:** May 02, 2015, 11:29:29 AM »

I didn't see my two before I collected them, just because there wasn't really time. I loved them straight away, though!

maryas · « **Reply #64 on:** May 01, 2015, 15:57:53 PM »

Don't be sorry

99% of the time that is a brill idea and it's something they actually do at the Halifax Branch. At the moment I'm the 1% it's not good for

I presume Tisha has had her op as the vet said she was ok for it on 20th April. It's not that I don't care about her but my thoughts are more on Kitty at the moment with her high heart beat. If they were here with me I would have one at one side of me and the other at my other side and plenty of kisses and Dreamies

Hmmm, I know you can if they are in the rescue but I don't think I want to. If I meet them and then anything goes wrong I will be so upset and don't need any more upset at the moment. I know I should be thinking 'half glass full' but after what I've been through this year I'm very cautious.

Mary

Sorry Mary, I didn't think about that - I see what you mean.
Fingers crossed that everything moves along quickly.

Mary I understand how you feel. I would be worried about getting fond of them, and then the hurt of not being able to have them if something goes wrong. Better to wait a bit longer until you know you can have them for keeps.
Julie.

I agree with Julie, I think, and it is absolutely up to you, that I would not want to bond and then find out that for some reason I could not take them home.

We all know how much you want this to be.

, please don't invest yourself too much too soon

. You have had too much hurt this year already.

Saying that, they are smashing cats and I really hope that they work out for you. We all know that you will be enslaved in about oooh -0.5 seconds, if that

Can you visit them before then?

maryas · « **Reply #56 on:** April 30, 2015, 13:34:09 PM »

My waters haven't broke yet

Guess I should be having a 'cat shower'

I think the vet is seeing them a week today so fingers crossed they will be fit enough to come and see how soft I am

Mary

Judecat (Paula) · « **Reply #55 on:** April 30, 2015, 09:55:40 AM »

Watching with anticipation Mary, when do they arrive?

Tisha looks a bit like a big Boblet

( another girl with a boys name

), they are both very pretty girls

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #54 on:** April 30, 2015, 08:02:16 AM »

Very excited for you, Mary

Do you think they will be coming to you next week then?

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #53 on:** April 30, 2015, 06:37:43 AM »

Bet you feel like an expectant Mum, Mary.

Sounds like both are doing well. Cant wait until they're home with you.

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #52 on:** April 29, 2015, 19:39:51 PM »

maryas · « **Reply #51 on:** April 29, 2015, 13:47:29 PM »

Not here just yet

Because they need to have another vet check next week they are being fostered by a staff member. Linda is emailing me with any updates.

Not fussy eaters yet

As soon as they see me they will kniw they can wrap me round their little paws

Using the litter tray and enjoying cuddles and sitting on the window sill watching the birdies

Kitty and Tisha are lovely

maryas · « **Reply #49 on:** April 23, 2015, 16:49:43 PM »

Very interesting Carol

I was wondering why especially as she is going to be an indoor cat.

Hopefully I willhavesomenews foryou all tomorrow.

Mary

jezebel · « **Reply #48 on:** April 23, 2015, 16:27:19 PM »

Interesting - I didn't know that!

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #47 on:** April 23, 2015, 16:14:13 PM »

That's what I wondered but apparently so. Cats don't have a menopause like we do and go on reproducing all their life

although they obviously become less fertile with age. The main reason for doing it is to reduce the risk of pyometria which can be fatal and is more common in elderly unspayed cats.

jezebel · « **Reply #46 on:** April 23, 2015, 13:01:06 PM »

Do they need to be spayed at that age?

maryas · « **Reply #45 on:** April 23, 2015, 10:14:01 AM »

I will do Gill cos They deserve to keep their identity at least.

Very annoying that only one of them was spade.

Not heard anything yet but when I do I'll be on here with the good news.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #44 on:** April 22, 2015, 21:55:20 PM »

Definitely keep their names cos then they will feel at home.

15 years is a long time not to ne neutered and wonder how accurate ...............suppose could be the date of the chip.

They are beautiful

bickhamwitch · « **Reply #43 on:** April 22, 2015, 11:05:21 AM »

Mary the age might be on the chip. But if so, how accurate is it. Grace came from the cats protection. If her age was on there it would have been ten as that was what was on her details. I have had her ten years now, but I'm pretty sure she can't be twenty. The best thing is to ask the shelter how they know they are fifteen.
Julie.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #42 on:** April 22, 2015, 07:01:02 AM »

I would imagine so Mary. Can't wait to hear more when you do.

Jiji · « **Reply #41 on:** April 21, 2015, 20:01:58 PM »

They are lovely Mary

Bet you can't wait to meet them

maryas · « **Reply #40 on:** April 21, 2015, 13:54:04 PM »

They are 15 so I presume from same litter. Maybe they got their age from the chip they had? .

Looking forward to more info tomorrow.

Mary

bickhamwitch · « **Reply #39 on:** April 21, 2015, 13:00:58 PM »

Give them dreamies and they'll answer to any name.
Julie.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #38 on:** April 21, 2015, 12:55:39 PM »

Mary - they're torties - you can call them what you like, they'll only answer if they feel like it!

How old are they - have they been able to give you an approximate age?
