    I found one of my Bengals on preloved. She was selling for cheap because the owner apparently didn't realise how hard work they are. He thought they were like moggies in nature :D I do think these free ads should ban these ads that give kittens/cats away free though but then i guess if they did more would end up either dumped, in cat rescue centres or drowned.

    Your cats gorgeous by the way

    I have to stay away from them all too - I'd def be a cat woman if I was rich and lived in the middle of nowhere.

    Love the pic! They're such posers!:D

    I always thought that I was the ultimate cat woman for whom any number of cats was never enough.

    Now I have 5, including 2 Bengal kittens, I have decided that there is a limit :eek: No more for me :D Don't get me wrong, I love them all to pieces, but having World War 3 break out in my house every day for the last week and a half is enough for me :)

    Having said that, today was the first day that a kind of peace has settled on the house: the two male adult cats who had not accepted the kittens are showing vast signs of improvement - Robbie has started actually playing with them and Harry is not hiding so much in the garden (daytime) / behind the sofa (evenings). Friday the female adult was fantastic with them from day 1.

    So, looks like the corner has been turned and peace and harmony can return to the house again - phew :rotfl:

    A rescue centre would be better though surely? Don't most of them neuter, vaccinate and have vet checks etc. done on the animals they take in?

    If all the kittens/cats that were going for free on every single free ad on the internet and in free newspapers then these kittens/cats would have to be PTS because the rescue centres would not be able to cope. They are overflowing as it is. I have always said if i ever won the Lottery then i'd open up a rescue centre myself.

    Shame people don't seem to know about neutering, that's what responsible owners do!
    I think Cats Protection have an assisted scheme; for anyone who is interested here is the page which answers lots of the questions:

    I am always on Preloved, I got my American Bulldog from there (who I sadly had to rehome earlier this year). I always look at the English Bull Terrier puppies..I'm such a sucker for preloved!!
