    What you done know is I'm taking that from the back of the sofa and the claws as sink straight in me lol

    He is learning to keep them tucked away. Only drew blood once today :)

    Do you do the high-pitched "EEK!"? That TV dog-trainer lady used to recommend doing that to let them know when they hurt you.

    But yeah he's a cute lil fella :)

    Oh the high pitched eek pops out every time :)

    I was lying on the sofa the other night, along he came, hopped over me to snuggle in behind, and promptly sunk two paws of claws into my bum:rotfl:

    I'm resembling a pin cushion

    He's getting better though. I handle his paws as much as I can and I lift him for cuddles and brush him. He's not ever going to be a cuddle monster but that's fine.

    We had a lay in this morning, 8am he decided to wake me by biting my toes through the duvet:rotfl:
  • He's gorgeous. He looks like he's settling in really well.

    We lost our little girl back in October. I really want another cat but we're going to be away a lot over the next couple of months, so we're going to wait until the end of February until we get another. Threads like this have me itching to go to the local rescue centre to get a new feline friend.

    He is so beautiful. I found that a sharp no and withdrawing attention when clawed worked pretty well.

    What a lovely little cat (and I'm more of a dog person!!), and how very, very lucky to have found such a good and loving home.


    Bless you for giving him a chance to have a decent life. x

    Oh. Slow s you me, I'm a doggy person so this really is a complete learning curve for us all. :)

    He's a dote that's for sure. I'm just learning cat boundaries :)
