Well thanks for your lovely messages folks. We got her in the end and yes, life is definitely never going to be the same again.
She is small (470g) and very boney (is that normal?) but she has energy, is peeing and pooing and ate a small bowl of Felix Kitten and a bowl of kitten milk tonight so I'm not too worried. She has been wormed three times and is booked to go to the vet a week Monday so I think that's ok is it?! Do we have to do flee treatment? Ive had a good look at her all over and can't see anything
I'm amazed, she already knows how to walk from the living room to the kitchen to find her litter box and then climb in like she's on an assault course and leap out like she's parachuting! Clever cookie.
We have had one mishap whilst we were having tea, when she climbed under the TV unit (how can a cat with that sized head fit under such a small gap?!) and did a whoopsie in the corner! That was a "she's your kitten, you clean it up" moment. Ha, ha.
Sorry, see, I said I would bore you with every detail. Newbie cat owner syndrome!
She has discovered a free and 'on tap' toy........Staffas tail, and being a lab it goes constantly. He's so good though as she tries to leap for it from under the coffee table. I just love it when she rubs up his legs too as if he's a hooman. Pugsey has decided he's to old for this lark and he's going to ignore her, as if to say "I hope that thing isn't staying" it's really funny, he's a rough haired Jack russell and has very furry feet. Indie thinks it's great fun jumping for the straggly bits on the way past! I'm not sure old Pug agrees
Cuddling into your neck or upper chest seems to be her thing, she won't even go near her gorgeous bed I bought her! She cries when she's tired just like a baby! She sleeps nearly all the time with half hour spurts to tire herself out again. The day has gone so fast, you're right Gill, I'll be to busy to do anything else. I suppose it is a bit extra work with the dogs as you have to supervise all the time, especially with Staffas big feet and him bouncing about desperate to play. He got so excited earlier when Indie ran out into the hall for the first time, he tripped me up and I dropped a glass of red wine and it smashed all over the floor! It was like something out of a comedy sketch. Indie ran behind the sofa, I
at the dog and threw him outside and proceeded to pick up all the glass and wipe down the walls. Because we have flagstone floors the glass and wine had gone everywhere. Indie just peeped round the corner from the sofa wondering what all the fuss was about! What a waste of wine!!
Well it's late and my little pal is out cold snoozing between our two pillows. Goodness knows when she'll wake up, I hope I hear her because our bed is high and her other litter box is in our bathroom and she doesn't know how to get there! Mummy worries again, I don't think I was this bad when I took the kids home when they were babies! Well that's enough for one day, thanks for listening.
Here's to Indies next adventure.......................em, hold on, 'out cold' , take that back, I just heard Indie drop off the other side of the bed, my OH woke with a start, picked her up, Indie pooed down her front and swiftly ended up in the litter box to finish off with my OH marching about the bedroom saying what a
stink! You've no idea how hard I tried not to laugh. It's gonna be a long night, Indie is marching all over the bed like she owns the place now! She purrs so loud, I love it!
