Oh no!

Jones has a home!

Obviously this has all been organised by someone who was neither me nor Mr Brammers as we have been spending all our time playing with him, but – tragically – it is a lovely young cat-centric chap who is living in his first house without a cat and not coping and has a small Jack Russell living with him who is also missing living with a cat. The dog belongs to one of the housemates (three young lads, all cat loving) and they all think the cat should be an indoors cat until they have a cat run outside and think that it would be a good idea to desex him as soon as it is medically a good plan. And he has enough money for vet bills. I may have interrogated him a little.

I can't come up with a single reason why Jones shouldn't go to live with this lovely young chap. Aside from the fact we just love him, but he will have more fun there than here, and our cats will have more calm without him. Bugger!

Monster the cat has an inkling and is writing us a thank you note even as I type*.

He goes on Thursday, so this will be one of the last kitten pix:



*By which I mean purring and not vomiting up her cat food in the bedroom doorway. She's not technically literate, but she is very expressive.

Absolutely. Ours were indoor only until we built the cat run (which is a netted off section of our garden), we live in an almost entirely tick-free area that would be entirely except that anything is possible in this changing climate. Their little patch outside has some grass to sit on, camellias to scratch on and dirt to dig in, but they mostly just sit on the cat slings that lead down from the window and catch the breeze. Apparently life expectancies are 8 years longer for contained cats compared to free range.

If I had an outside to use, I might try a cat run. Wonder how Gertrude would like that. She's afraid of pretty much everything, even a bird-shaped soft toy that cheeped. That did not go over well. LOL
