He reminds me of Serious Cat... I prefer kittens, but mature cats can be great too...

Nice looking cat!

We're about to exchange contracts on a house, girlfriend seriously wants to get a cat, not a bad idea. Lots of DIY to do on the place so do I get a cat first and train it not to destroy stuff before we do work on the place (which would mean cat would have to put up with DIY later) or hold off and get a cat after?

And we want a cat who spends most of its time with us in the house and likes to relax with us on the sofa, like our mate's cat. Best get a kitten and bring it up that way or an older cat?

All depends on the cat! I've got a black and white 6 year old cat who dreams of being a house cat and never having to set a paw outside again. He would also prefer to spend his time sitting on people too. Then again the other two both enjoy going outside as well as demanding time from everyone who comes in the flat.

Older cats are best

No kitten poo to clean up and likely to be house trained. and probably wont destroy the place.

Go to Battersea (or the like) and look at who they have in, see if anyone catches your eye - and if you have the room, consider a pair or even a trio

£40 from Battersea/cat and thats it ID chipped, spayed and you are doing a "Good Thing"

Hi Guys!
I suppose "the cat's out of the bag" at this point.
One or two of you noticed I wasnt quite like the rest of you. Well, now you know.

I'd just like to say SoulKiss is a great owner, he promised me a decent amount of Net time for my purrsonal purrusment.

Anyway, lots of things to do here, and this couch isn't going to scratch itself.

PS, Soulkiss? Yeah, no more of that dry food if you dont mind. Gives me wind. I think I speak for us all saying we dont want that again. Turkey would be nice tonight.

KThnxBye.

Aww, he's a lovely puss Older cats are ace. We've got one that adopted us when we moved into our house. He's old and lazy and has refused to leave the house so far this week (the cat, not my husband...) Who can blame him though? If I had a choice I'd stay in the house all day too

My old cat was a lazy so-an'-so.

We put in a catflap and all she'd use it for was to get a weather report :

Right paw through flap.....oo a bit chilly...withdraw paw and return to the lounge.

We do miss her though.especially the early morning headbutts

but not the smells

and the scratching

and the vets bills

and the fur everywhere
