My mum has somehow worn my step dad down enough, to allow us to get another cat .

Went down to the RSPCA today to have a look, saw a couple that we liked. We want a younger one as we have two older ones already (14 and 9). Most of them were black, I love black cats, but both of ours are black and it gets a bit confusing telling the difference between them!

Saw a ginger one that we liked, and just on the of chance asked if they had any younger ones, then saw Cosmic. My mum and I both fell in love straight away.

Mum/Stepdad/Sisters have got to go up tomorrow, then we need to have a home visit (but as we've already had one from them, I can't see a problem with it), she'll be coming to us.

We are stuck with names though, we currently have Spike (after Spike Milligan), and Baloo (from the Jungle Book as he is like a bear).

We are thinking of Penny (from The Big Bang Theory), but open to any others! I like Priya (Big Bang again), but also Holly (have a little bit of a crush on Holly Willoughby!).

I understand this isn't a very manly post frown.

I'd let her settle in, get a feel for her character then a name will appear.

Thanks for that.

I hadn't watched the recorded race all the way to the end.

I thought I'd be safe looking at a post about a cat.

Glad it wasn't just me that was pissed off by that!

Since when did we have this sub-forum? Never seen this!

We've decided on 'Gracie' at the moment. It might change when she gets here though.

Looks exactly like my kitten - we named him Fenton, it's a pretty good name wink

Ha, opps!

We are having the home visit tomorrow biggrin, and we should be able to collect her on Tuesday.

We've decided on the name 'Gracie', I wanted 'Holly' (huge crush on Holly Willoughby, and lets face it, its the only time I'll get to stroke her xD). Unoffical name is Gracie Holly though.

We might not be able to get her frown.

We passed the home visit, and she was getting checked out by the vet before we went to collect her. Turns out she has a heart murmur. The RSPCA don't seem too bothered by it, but we don't want the vets bills, and insurance won't pay out if its an existing condition.

Going to phone the RSPCA tomorrow and see if we can sort something out though.
