Afternoon!
Had to share.... :smilewinkgrin:
WE nipped along to the Arbroath Cat's Protection centre last Sat, with a view to adopting a new tiny furry friend for our current monster furball..
When we got there tho, we realised that the little calico girl kitten we'd been keen on was really really tiny, and our existing kitty might have thought she was a nice snack - since he was hand reared and hasn't really had any cat on cat interaction, we didn't know how he'd react to a totty wee kitten.
Soo.. after various cat-logistic-scenario type ideas, we decided it would be a much nice thing to do if we adopted an older cat - since everybody goes for kittens. That way they'd both be able cope a little bit better...
We just... JUST missed out on an 18 month old Half-Maine coon girl - she was HUGE, and chatty and cuddly :cool:... then we saw a dainty little cat in the end pen, and had to investigate. She was 2, just had kittens who had all been rehomed, and was very pleased to see us.
So.. long story short, we were offered a cat box to take her away there and then, so we did :D
Got her home, took her up to our bedroom and plonked her on the bed, and she immediately curled up for a big purry cuddle.
So.. this is Bella (Formerly Tinkerbell - I'm not going out in the garden and shouting THAT name haha)

Next... trying to get 2 cats to make friends... so far there's been lots of growling, hissing and general big-tailed puffiness.. They're still under supervised visiting rights, haha.
