Big Bear

I have an accidental spare cat ... He deserves better than what he's been given in life so far.

So he's currently in my bathroom curled up inside a padded igloo.

I have no idea how old the big boy is. He's a SOLID tomcat with secondary sex characteristics - in other words face shields and thick neck. His face is twice the size of my Cody-Cat's face!

Today at the vet I wanted to get him desexed. But I realised last night that he was suffering an infection. I could see him moving more stiffly in the light, holding one of his back legs uncomfortably, and his nose was warm. So instead I had him tested for FIV (positive) and Leukaemia (negative) which now gives me an idea of where he is. He also has inflamed kidneys. He's had a long acting antibiotics, mild anti-inflammatory, and flea treatment. As he's FIV positive I can't let him back into the neighbourhood ... So, I get to reconsider things. Either find him a home where they are willing to take in a sook, or see about building the cat run I was thinking about down the side of the house.

Anyway ... Here's Big Bear ... Previously Mr. Peepers the Tom Cat ...

Here's the rest of the mob showing a great deal of interest in the furry person in our bathroom ...

Then Big Bear settled down ... 

So turns out that this total Tom Cat is also the biggest sweet heart. He is friends with my neighbours cat. Not a fan of dogs (especially since the neighbours Am-Staff X Staff (big massive horrible boofhead) attacked this poor guy and had him in his mouth and shook him ... Turns out he's gorgeous and sweet (As well as smelly and intact and dirty and in such poor condition.)

So ... here we are.

I'm certifiably insane.

Charlotte & Cody

Love. 

Cody is chilling out more and more. 

He's still The Sherriff in town. 

And of course bum to bum with Brodie. 

Al's Quiet on Easter Night

Each night these are my companions ... Charlotte perches up top, the boys sleep in varying degrees of together. 

See what love you get from a colony cat? 

Priceless. 

 

 

I Swear I Don't Arrange Them...

They do it all themselves ... 

Miss Charlotte the Squirrel

She's just gorgeous. How could you not fall in love with her?

Kitten Gorgeousness @ Mi Casa!

Charlotte (aka The Squirrel) and Webster are still living with me. There is an issue with Webster's gums which we are trying to resolve. Until then, they will live with me. I'm certainly not complaining. They are no trouble at all. Seriously. I already have my own collection of animals: 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 4 birds and my extra two foster cats = NO TROUBLE!

As I'm working on the computer - Webster is keeping me company. Charlotte is gazing out the window at the front of the house. So if you would like some gorgeous and beautiful, no trouble at all kitten-cats of your own - these two would be awesome.

For the past couple of days they have been starving! I'm figuring this might be a growth spurt. I'm amazed at how much food two little kitties can pack away!

In the security that is their room, Charlotte is quite happy to lie down and not move while you have to setp over her. She will let you pick her up and love her up, but when she's out in the house its a somewhat different story. I've been letting them out of the room in the evenings and on the weekends when I'm home. (7kg of my big cat isn't something I want to leave them with just in case there are issues - my big boy can be territorial). Charlotte is elusive, but she is slowly becoming more confident in the larger space that is the house.  Last night while I was camera-less she curled up in the middle of the lounge, while Webster stretched out on the lounge's arm - his two little front legs stretched out as far as they would go. It was beyond gorgeous!

Webster came and joined me this morning on the bed and greeted me with the biggest ever rumble-purrs. It wasn't because he wanted food - I'd already fed him - he was after some love. How could you not melt over that?

Since pictures speak a thousand words, I'll just post a collection of them in their gorgeousness and let them speak for themselves.

New Cubby

Both kittens check out their new cubby.

Webster gives the most beautiful nose to nose kisses.

Charlotte gives the most gorgeous cuddles. She settles into your arms like they're a shelf ... How could you not love that?

I've rearranged their room a little bit ... Hence the little cubby.

I've also given them new collars. Webster has purple, Charlotte light pink.

I will regret it I'm sure when they engage in early morning wrestles.

Armful of Purring Kittens

I had an armful then a lap-full of purring gorgeousness aka Webster & Charlotte this afternoon.

And it was one of the highlights if my day.

The other highlight was my hunkapurringlove who took a nap with me then curled himself up in my arms as I was trying to work on a paper.

Rescue cats rock.

Adopt them.

And then you too can have an armful of purring kittens. And you too can feel as lovely as I do now.

You should be 50 shades of jealous :p
