Where did you get your cat from?

It took ages for her to accept us but she is still very timid to this day.

I'd never heard Cassie's story before, Mags, how touching! And she certainly turned out to be a gorgeous cat!

Thanks Eileen, I couldn't wish for a better cat despite her nervousness..

My Su-ling was a very nervous cat also; I found out later from his pedigree that he was quite inbred...his mother was also his grandmother... ; but he was a wonderful loving cat with me and Dad.

Merlin was brought into the office where I worked by a colleague. She said that the kitten who was then about 12 weeks old was the cause of a girl she knew being threatened with eviction by her landlord, so a new home had to be found for "Brockley". He came home with me that afternoon!

Smudge arrived, rather spookily, on our doorstep on a very cold frosty night. So she found us and stayed. I always think that is a very true honour.

Arthur - lady in same village - he was looking for a good home as her niece couldn't keep him anymore (due to landlord)

Bubbles came from a local rescue place at about 5 months old and Fizz as most of you know came from SMUDGELY!

How nice to hear where all your cats came from.

Is this truly a coincidence - Arthur and Merlin both found their new homes for the same reason????????

Anyone else got a cat with an "Arthurian" name?

Posh walked up the path on November 27th last year. Heaven knows where she came from Apparently she'd been straying in the area for over a week, fed on occassions by neighbours who couldn't take her in, and living on her wits.
For such a posh and seemingly pampered puss this must have been a bit of a shock! I feel she was brought up well as she was litter tray trained, eats small portions on demand ( not a 'wolfer') and had impeccacble fur , no mats, and clean paws. She wasn't chipped or spayed, but full of flea dirt and cat flu, poor baby.I always call her my little miracle, who fell from heaven, like an angel, into my arms. How anyone could have abandoned her I don't know, but I'm eternally grateful for the chance to share her life.
We tried all ways to find her owner, then after a month we decided she was ours and we haven't looked back.

I will have more cats when the time is right. I feel Posh could do with company. When that happens, you will all be the first to know

Clementine and her brothers were an accidental ragdoll to farm cat mating of someone my mother knew, she had know use for the "unprofitable moggies" so churned them back onto her stable yard when the litter were about four weeks old, and they took residence with one of the dogs. We took them off her hands and found good homes for the boys, and kept Clem. It's strange how I didn't keep one of the boys actually, considering they were all ginger!
Maxwell & William were born here.
