Thanks everyone for your lovely messages 🙂
Admittedly I’ve never been a cat person (for shame!) as I’ve always had dogs. After my Cookie Monster passed away I really didn’t want any other animals as its so hard when you lose them and I didn’t want to go through it again. My friend’s cat had got out, came home pregnant and she was struggling for home for them when they were born. She sent me photos of them the day they were born and I absolutely knew I had to have one of them. Luna was the last kitty to leave her mum (apart from a brother who they kept) as I wanted her to stay with them for as long as possible. I’m not sure what the recommended age to bring a kitten home is, as everywhere I read said something different. I knew dogs was an 8 week minimum rule, so she stayed with her mum and brother till she was 9 weeks. I went to visit a lot as they just live up the road. Her brother is SO chilled out and sleeps all day, so I genuinely think we got the oddball of the litter.
I whinge and moan about her constantly (because she’s the devil) but she’s the best thing ever. Me and him indoors are totally in love with her, despite her being constantly on the rampage. She has so many toys that she doesn’t care to play with, because her favourite thing to do is roll around a rolled up receipt around the kitchen floor.
I think her main source of frustration now is that she wants to go outside but we can’t let her just yet. She’s had all of her injections but we can’t have her spayed till 6 months, so she’s grounded till then. I’ve quite shamelessly bought her a pink glittery harness and lead that we take her in the garden in so she can explore, but it’s not quite the same as letting her explore by herself!
I’m sure I’ll be swotting up on all the posts on here though, so I’m glad I found you guys. A forum a lot like this one helped me so much when I was dealing with the trials and tribulations of a Siberian Husky who was driving me up the wall, and the things I learned from people were invaluable.
Look forward to chatting to you all 😀
