hi everyone, just thought I'd let you know that we collected the kitten on wednesday and he's great - I've never met a more confident, friendly kitten. he was purring as soon as we got him out of the basket, and strutting around like he owned the place within about 15 mins....he even seems to like the kids!!
Roxy has been great, she will eat next to him, but still looks a little jumpy, making sure she gets lots of attention, and space if she wants it!
Re. it's 'only' a cat....the rational part of my brain keeps trying to tell me that, but I spent a hell of a lot more time with Elvis than I do with some members of my human family, and you only had to watch Roxy to know that she was missing her mate....hopefully 'newbie' and Rox will be best of friends soon!
