Cat Chat Feline Forum

These two look gorgeous, together and individually. How nice that your niece gets a sleek elegant shorthair tort and a cute fluffy blue kitten in one package. My two favourite colours I think. I sometimes wish Abby had a cat friend, but judging by her total disdain for every other cat in the shelter...

"molly in the bog" - love it :D I think my grandparents had one of those stone HWBs. Were they known as 'pigs'? Alice is a gorgeous colour. Reminds me of Pushine, a cat my mum had when I was little, and also a tortoiseshell but shorthaired. Update from the basket: Abby wasn't noticeably im...

Right you are. Just seen some kind admin has done it for me

You're all so helpful, thank you! I have a hot water bottle of my own. (My feet are icy as well.) So I'll let her 'borrow' that for a day or so and see how it goes. Mine stays warm-ish til morning too. The stone ones sound intriguing. I'll check those out and the heat pads too. Alice, that's a reall...

She was a stray before coming to live with me, so she is streetwise and stealthy. She's intelligent and very curious, inve...

Absolutely - thanks for the cat vocab lesson

She's definitely well-meaning (if cats can be described that way), we're just negotiating our boundaries and getting to know each other. I want to make sure we don't miscommunicate, cause she's ...

Hi everyone, New here, first post, please be gentle :) I have a recently-adopted 1 year old female. She was a stray who was found with her kittens outdoors, and was at a shelter weaning them for a few months before coming to live with me. When I met her at the shelter she was aloof and wary, but now...
