    what classes as a state benefit nowadays?


    :confused: Might be worth a phone call though to ask. But a lot of the de-b^llocking is available at cost to anyone because people really don't want more unwanted kittens or annoying Tom's shagging everything in sight, mine humped the MIL's coat, "what's this ..."- he almost got to keep his bits for that....

    Ohhhh, look at Ash, she looks so grown up in that photo, and little-black-cat-with-no-name is so placid to let her pick him up like that, you've made a great choice there.

    Actually I'm going to send those two links to my cousin - she doesn't have a cat but it might help with her live in, waste of space partner, bit like a Tom cat - annoys the neighbourhood and if rumours are correct keeps bringing mangled birds home when she's away.:D

    Kitten is lovely.
    When thinking of name remember that for a long time to come you will have to stand at door & shout said name!!
    Dugal sounds good to me.

    We've always had cats, but never shout their names at the door - just sort of make a hissy shushy noise and they all come running.

    I think Kitten is a lovely name !!

    No Beanie, I've just learned that they come in when they're hungry, and are far too stubborn to come in if they dont want to :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hi just two more suggestions for kitty's name with perhaps a Pagan theme :- Raven or Shadow ? I'll clear off now :p
