It's Caturday- Post some cats (vol 3)
Discussion
Thank you. Walter really is adorable. He is unbelievably affectionate and doesn't stop purring! He has taken to my two youngest well too, and fell asleep on one like this earlier!
He's actually just a common-or-garden cat, no pedigree etc. His Mother long haired and his Father a huge beast with a massive head and ear and almost British Shorthair. Both parents equally as affectionate. His 'breeder' was lovely and gave me some vitamin paste and some food and has since text me to see how he's settled in. It's been a very nice experience.
He looks big in the pictures but really isn't so. He's 14 weeks with huge ears and just, long?!?

Jasper has now decided to adopt an old broom. Wherever I put the broom, he goes and sleeps next to it.
He's an old boy now. Spends most of the time sleeping, and walks rather than runs. It makes me sad
Aww, one cat and his broom, that's sweet. It is ashame to see them slow down, all we can do is keep them comfy, pain free and be aware of older cat related health issues. He looks very content in the photo He's an old boy now. Spends most of the time sleeping, and walks rather than runs. It makes me sad

well we came back from our hols to find (or rather not find) our cat has taken a wander Three days now and we're starting to fear the worst
Paws crossed - Cats get the hump when you go away and their regular human servants aren't there, maybe he is stealthily hiding making you suffer! Moglet gets all Suarez on us when we have been away for a few days..... Rolls round on the floor looking cute then delights in biting you! Three days now and we're starting to fear the worst shep1001 said:

Wouldn't you believe it! Bloody thing must've been reading this thread - not 2 hours later he turned up very vocal, demanding attention
Have you owned acats for long? Only, they do this sort of thing entirely on purpose!You haven't lived until you've spent hours wandering the streets calling out for a 'missing' cat, only to give up, return to the house and find him sitting on the sofa.
Unfortunately Priya had to have her tail amputated today - she never regained use of it, and it was dying. She'll be spending tonight at the vets, and possibly tomorrow night as well. There still is the chance of necrosis, but the vet thought that all the tissue was viable.
He was amazed at how badly she was injured without breaking or fracturing anything.

I picked up some a cat tree, interactive scratching post and a pyramid cat bed earlier via Gumtree for £15. Everyone is happy.
Also a couple of these cardboard scratching boxes with catnip for 0.99p each! The boys love them. Though Walter has adapted his in to a lounger...
And he's STILL purring...
They're still separated. Introduction's going very slow and steady. Lots of growling at the scent of each other. But I'm determined to make this happen. And luckily have the space if it doesn't.

Our Bengal absolutely honks when going for dumps, it's eye watering!
Any litter recommendations or even fancy litter trays to try and help with this.
He usually waits till we have guests round then let's rip.
I was told Lebowski would only use this Golden Sand litter (it's not cheap) I've tried a few but for me/him I now use the wood pellets. They just smell like fresh cut wood and turn to fine sawdust when wet/used. He is however, fussy about his tray. He will only use a very large open top lipped black one, despite having purchased various different coloured and style ones. Weirdo.

Litterpurrfect for our two Bengals. It does depend what you feed them though!
