Harry Cat

[dizzyblonde]

Some of you may remember at Easter it was my dads 60th. I made a 300 mile journey to deliver him photos of his birthday present. Harry cat arrived last week.
Cheeky is a good word for him

I am deffo not a cat lover, don't think they have any kind of charm at all.......



HOWEVER..

He looks well cool and I think he might turn out to be a little bundle of mischievousness that I would be happy looking after if you were ever to go away for a while.. ; )

lol at you!
Luckily my parents have me to look after him if they go away...shame:smt077 and my sister in law, and my mates and my brothers and everyone:)
Hes such a cheeky chap, and very friendly. When describing him I can only say 'kitten soft' hopefuly he will get as big as his dad

MIEEEOOOAAWW!

I think he'd get on well with our Jack Russell

[Paws]

AWwwwwwww!!!! hes sooo cute, id better not let Treacle see this thread or Janeyflakes one or he'll be wanting another cat!!

[dizzyblonde]

You really don't want to know the price tag then!

[wyrdness]

What a gorgeous mog! I take it that he's a pedigree. If you don't chop his nuts off, you could probably use him for breeding and recoup the cost.

my mum wants to chop his nuts, even though his grandparents are champion British Blues. Hes already pretty proud of himself, his eyes are enormous. If he were mine I'd have a go at showing him. Using him as a stud would be an option for the cost, but he was bought as a pet. All of the family chipped in to get my dad a good 60th prezzie, so it wouldn't be about recouping cost.

[Spiderman]

Geourgeous little fella. My neighbour has 2 of these blues and they are well cute too.

[Thingus]

Too bloody cute to be real.

I thought if they'd been bought as a pet, they wouldn't recognise his pedigree if he was put to stud. At least, that's what we were told when we bought a pedigree :confused:

[Bibio]

he looks like he's going to be a wild one....

I've never had a pedigree kitten with paperwork before TBH so I really don't have a clue. The breeder was good to point out that we had to send off the pink slip and re-register him to us, for the purpose of if we ever wanted to show him. We also have a family tree of the last five lines, so we know what hes been bred from too.
As i said, its unlikely he'll be used for either, as hes a pet...a very cute one at that:D

[xXBADGERXx]

Sooooo ..... was he a bit wild when you opened the top box outside your dad`s gaff then ?

[Jamiebridges123]

I really want a cat.....always have... one like the one in the OP, or a brown and black one with blue eyes... named Jasper or Wednesday.. depending whether it's a boy or a girl..

While its all well and good to go down the pedigree route (and Harry IS gorgeous) especially if you want a specific colour/breed, dont forget your local Animal Rescue centre.

It just happens that ours is Battersea Dogs Home (and Cats) and for £60 you can rehome a cat which they have chipped, spayed and had a vet give a good going over.

[Amanda M]

Couldn't agree more! We got our puss from a local shelter for £40 and they always have loads to choose from. I wanted to take them all home though! Too soft, me ;)

Dizzy - that kitten is utterly gorgeous and I want him :cool:

[Miss Alpinestarhero]

aww he's really cute :D you'l have to watch him with your bike ;)

[Paws]

After showing this thread to Treacle, he has now decided he wants one, aswell as a tortishell (for me) and a black and white kitten.
Harry is gorgeous though! Love the pic of him on the bag

nah it was mums taxi that we picked him up in

I couldn't agree more. I've had a lot of waifs/strays/rescue cats. I rescued a Persian Blue many years ago, and gave her the best two years of her life considering she came to me looking like a brown underweight mog covered in leaves. Angus came in for tea and stayed, but he did camp on the doorstep for a long time, Tibbs was from my brothers litter and I insisted he came to me, with a very large hernia and three toes on his back paw. My parents old cats came from the RSPCA...but this time it was a special thing. I would like to mention though that there is a rescue centre for an awful lot of breeds both cat and dog. I've had a dog from Bassett rescue, and you pay a lot less than from a breeders and your giving an unloved dog/cat a new life.

aww he's really cute :D you'l have to watch him with your bike ;)

He'll never get anywhere near my bike, he'd have to walk a long way;)

Really? I want a really young kitten though, so I can raise it completely.. I mean I don't want to sound mean but I don't want some poor abused little kitty! Of course maybe later I would, but the first cat I want, I'd like to raise my own cat from a young kitten..

I'll check if there's a local ARC around here, not sure... probably end up going to Battersea anyway... take my backpack on the bike and give it the ride of it's life coming home LMAO. :(

[dizzyblonde]

Theres plenty of unwanted kitties of all ages at rescue places Jamie.....theres a hell of unwanted cats everywhere..mostly people who can't be arsed nuetering end up with one too many and unfortunately dump them everywhere.
Thye will come and vet you and your home to see if you are suitable to rehome an animal too, so they are confident that you can give it what it needs.
One of my dogs comes from the RSPCA and they came up and had a look at my house, checked I had a secure garden, there was room for her to sleep and have time to herself etc.

[Jamiebridges123]

Maybe I should wait till I move out then, if I do move out I wouldn't have a garden... would that be a problem?

Like apart from having 2 dogs my Mother doesn't want to let me get another pet...

[ophic]

unfortunately dump them everywhere.
Our little kitty turned up in our garden. It was sheltering under a leaf from the rain, it was obviously very young. We can only guess that she was dumped. At least one other identical looking cat has been taken in by some neighbours - heard rumours of several knocking about. But ours is cute and sweet and friendly (and very vocal!) but the others apparently aren't :cool:

rescue centres also observe each animal, and decide if its suitable for going outdoors, wether a cat should be an indoor cat, if it would be ok with other pets.

My mums old cat sheltered on the doorstep very young. She was feral, and for 16 years we all lived in fear! I was the only one who could pick her up, flea her, worm her and attempt to get her in a box to the vet. No matter what we tried, she was the most evil cat ever. She was called Midget, had short stumpy legs, was very small and would stand nose to nose with a fox and see it off out of her garden!
This is partially why we all decided on the pedigree route this time, as my dad wanted a garanteed cuddly cat that would sit on his knee without turning on him for stroking it the wrong way, and one that actually liked him! With Harry both parents were seen, he was raised underfoot, around other cats, dogs and small children, so in effect was absolutely bombproof....and yes hes very vocal too.:p

[madjohn]

I got my pus third hand. he was two yrs old and was never aloud out. The bloke how had him before me treated him all right but he was a bit skinny. I've fattened him up and he seems happy and content and he's out all the time.

[Speedy Claire]

OMG he`s absolutely beautiful... I want him!

Dizz, never met a blue yet that was cuddly, most of them are fiends in disguise. He is a buetey though.

[dizzyblonde]

seriously Runt, hes sooooooooo genuinely cuddly. He greets you, he sits on you, he cuddles you, rolls over for strokes, and is very soft with his paws(very unusual in a kitt I know) hes as cuddly as my kitt......and that ones just a fliipin mincy tart...lol!

[shonadoll]

British Blues are gorgeous, and he is particularly cute!
