We've adopted a cat! :D

is site telling you you cant post pics because you haven't got enough posts, or you trying to copy and paste from your own computer? annoyingly you have to upload your picks to a site like bucket then upload them from there. its a right faff and I hate doing it!

Oh! I think I just need to use Photobucket or something - d'oh, thanks meritaten!

The computers at work won't let me on it, so I'll have to upload some this evening after I get home. Hope she's been OK today, we're both out and I felt like such a bad Mummy when I left her this morning! Seems fine though, kept us awake most of the night trampling over the bed and us. At one point I woke up to see her sitting on top of the flatscreen TV, no idea how she didn't fall off. I kept begging her to get down cos I was paranoid she'd fall! Her claws seem a little long actually, the rooms she's in at the moment have loop pile and she gets caught every now and again, plus you can hear her clicking on the bookcase and other hard surfaces every so often. Should I be worried? Think it's too soon for us to brandish come clippers at the poor girl but equally don't want to cart her off to the vet so soon after we got her home!

Photos to follow

she's probably sleeping with little bouts of exploration in between!

she how she is when you touch her paws and toes. if she lets you it might be she is used to her nails being trimmed. i used to my cat's claws - i would just take about 2/3mm of the sharp tip off with nail clippers.

She was so happy to see me when I got home, and is now even more curious about seeing the rest of the flat - miaows and scratches at the door to the living room as she knows we're on the other side. Going to let her come in and nosey around after we've cooked dinner :jShe also seems quite happy with us touching her paws, we're taking it slowly but certainly no pulling away or unhappiness so that's a good sign!
Anyway, here's an attempt at some photos, hope they work... and don't come up too big!

These are when we first met her, then in her new room after half an hour or so (with the brown carpet, sorry I can't work out how to space the images out now!!), in our bed last night and stretching out this morning!

She's my gorgeous girl, just introduced her to the rest of the flat and she's sitting at my feet on the other end of the sofa watching the football with OH, lol! Who would have thought she only arrived a little over 24 hours ago!

It took our Derek nearly 3 weeks to get anywhere near that stage, she's obviously a confident happy little girl!
