    Colin is so cute and clearly in need of a very lovely Piq to care for him. I am positive that Bear would not mind at all. How awful of his dreadful owners to do that to him but he is so much better off with you by the sounds of him.

    Captain story, as always, made me smile, even if he was naughty for you. We all know you love the stubborn old mule and wouldn't really have him any other way.

    Enjoy the wine, I'm not sure on the spelling either and the beans.

    Loving my kitty cat

  • What a beautiful kitty, how lovely of you to give him the home he deserves. I'd love a cat but being out at work all day I'd hate to leave him/her alone all day so I just keep looking at pictures longingly.

    COLIN!!! Love it - love the cat too - looks so cute. I am so pleased for you - I am sure he will love hearing about your day and our stories too :D

    I went cross country jumping again yesterday (another attempt at trying to get my confidence back) and I ACHE today so I sympathise with your legs.

    I'm sure Bear is delighted that you'll have someone to make sure you get up at 5am (and 6am, and possibly 7am) to continue making cat breakfast(s). :D

    We can't wait to hear how he's getting on.
  • De-lurking to say that Colin is a handsome chap and I'm sure the Bear would be delighted to hear that a fellow rescue cat has adopted you as his human looker-after. :)

  • Who could choose new carpets rather than a cat? How ridiculous ... Colin looks gorgeous, and I hope you and he will be very happy together. All the animal rescue centres round our way are full to bursting with unwanted pets (and horses) and as things get tougher financially this winter the future looks pretty bleak. So hooray for you for rescuing Colin!!
    My catto is still hanging on in there, very thin but still jumping around, purring and obviously happy and not in pain (though he is quite clingy) so I am just taking each day as it comes - however many we have left together.

    what a lovely cat Colin is (will you be keeping the name - there i asked what others had wondered!) and Bear won't mind he will be glad that you're not on you own and will know that he's not being replaced.
    Have to say it though that he's the spitting image of my old boy Ted, and he wondered once and went missing for 3 months when we had to temporarily move house (we did find him again so all was well)
