Must have had a visitor last night because I was woken up in the small hours by a very loud hiss next to me, scrambling and the cat flap going. I was right in the middle of some sort of dream as well, so it bloody scared the crap out of me

Yeah, we stopped late night visits including one dossing on our bed thinking it was home (we thought it was one of ours). Stopped with a chip reader cat flap.

I'm moving at the end of July so no point installing one of those now, hopefully the visitor has decided it isn't worth coming back. Hate the sound of them hissing though, digs right into our instinctive fear of snakes

Bentley (left) with his buddy from next door, Beau. Luckily they get on for the most part which is just as well since we have a microchip catflap and Beau somehow manages to circumvent it... scratchchin

Gorgeous, especially the silver one.
Do you have breeders details?
it was a lady in westerham i dont know if she still breads them, she had 2 queens with litters at the time and they all lived in doors and the kittens slept on her bed, she was genuinely upset to see them go, we could have paid to get the pedigree paperwork but as they are pets did not bother

i am not a fan of breeders who keep their cats in cages or even worse the dodgy farms run by pie keys

the vets been very happy with them health wise and they have fantastic personalities, quite dog like

i cant recommend coons enough, just be aware the long haired ones need a fair amount of brushing, and they eat, a lot

She's usually very affectionate, but she hates having her picture taken.

We feel the same about breeders.
It's great to see the passion that some have.

I doubt any cat could match our Bengal for eating.
He is motivated purely by food and often demands midnight snacks.
Usually by biting the missus on the bottom!

My Bengal possibly could... Oh how I love the gentle tap on the cheek that when ignored turns in to a full on punch, followed by biting of arm or feet and leaping from a height on to my bed.
That and the ringing of the Christmas bell ornament that's been hooked on a chair undisturbed next to my bed for years before Lebowski's arrival.
Not to mention he's discovered the metal stirrup of the rocking horse at the end of my bed makes the loudest and most annoying clang when constantly tapped and whacked against the bed frame. Usually best between the hours of 2-4am when everywhere else is in complete silence.

One of our blues looking like she is plotting something bad. Again.

This is one of mine, practicing her look of utter contempt.

Here's Zelda, our 7-8 week old Maine Coon mix ...





Kimi Spikkonen and Zelda meeting for the first time. Neither were overly fussed, and as Kimi isn't much of a conversationalist, it was very much communication via meaningful stares.



She has settled in surprisingly well! In fact, as soon as we arrived home from collecting her, Zelda took to our laps and demanded strokes and cuddles. A few people have said that female cats are usually less affectionate than male cats, but we can't see that in her ... She absolutely feeds on attention and always wants to be near to one of us at anytime. She is rather adorable! hehe

We are. staying with my parents while our house is getting finished (after the Carlisle floods)
As much as they love Indy, he is a whirlwind.
Every now and then he pounces at them, well, not exactly a pounce, full on attack, leaping and hanging on.
They have various expensive rugs hung from walls, or more accurately, were hung from walls.
Their grand piano is a source of huge entertainment.
The wood floors are hilarious.
He walks or attempts to walk up the staircase handrails.

Such character, never known an animal like it!
I think he is more wild than domestic.

They are both utterly adorable!

Dunno who told you about females being less affectionate. Of the 7 cats we have had three were/are female and are just as affectionate as the boys. I am typing this just as our current girl Freya is utterly mugging Judas for fusses! hehe

All the kitties posted on here are beautiful, both past and present. As was posted earlier, this is both a wonderful and heartbreaking thread but I will still keep coming back to see the pics and hear the stories about everyone's furry overlords.

Cats rule! biggrin
