Thread: We've Chosen Our Kitten!

Hi Stacey,

He sounds lovely, can't wait to see some nice pictures in the future! I am going to be a MC pawrent really soon, we are going to collect our first kitten on Sunday and I absolutely can't wait! I am bursting with excitement! It's such a lovely feeling, the choosing your lovely kitten and then the anticipation of finally getting it home. Enjoy!

I'll try to get some up soon the only ones we really have of him are quite dark because Dave didn't want to blind him with the flash!

I hope you have a lovely time bringing yours home! I'm so jealous :P

I love the way you said she's your first kitten...I've got a feeling Teddy could be the first of many for us!

We were planning on getting two but Dave was a bit worried about transport etc. because we don't have a car at the moment.

Hi Stacey,just caught up on this post, read "why I chose a maine coon" thread first but I did comment on there that you will not stay at one MC for long,having just read this posting I am even more sure.I always had my MC's in singles but the last time due to one introducing himself & saying he wanted to come with us as well we ended up having two together & it has been brilliant,wish I had done it before,don't know that I would ever have been brave enough to go for three at once as another forum memeber has,but....!!!

Congrats and to echo others - pick a second one too! They'll love eah others company when you are both out and two are always better than one Or three in my case.

Congratulations, hope to see photos of your baby soon, I bet you are very excited... I have had to put going for my New Abyssinian on hold because of work commitments and it totally KILLING ME!! LOL

Congrats on picking out your new baby - look forward to updates and photos when he arrives

Thanks everyone

We were planning on getting two, as I said. I had the money saved and everything so that wasn't the issue but when the kittens were born Dave got really worried about having two, especially when they grow up and are quite big. I think the main issue for him is that his dad is allergic and his dog hates cats so we could never bring them to his house (in Aberdeen) over Christmas or things like that. We're thinking of just having Christmas in Glasgow with Teddy this year. My family's pretty dysfunctional so Christmas is pretty awful for me usually! If we were going to go home, I'd have to bring Teddy on the boat with me and he was worried about how I'd cope with two plus my luggage on my own.

I graduate in a year and Dave graduates in two years. The plan is to get another kitten before we start working full time so that Teddy doesn't get lonely.

Next year I'll only be in university two or three hours a week (it's a joke! I do have a lot of work to do outside of that but I'll do it at home and Teddy can help me!).

In the litter, Teddy is the biggest of the four and probably the bossiest and most confident (whilst still being very protective of his only little sister!) so hopefully he'll hold on to these traits and being by himself for a year or so won't be too much of a problem.

Personally, I'd have two tomorrow! The little silver girl in the same litter is adorable!

Also, I was going to ask - we're stuck without a car so we're hoping to order some of the things for Teddy (carrier, litter tray, scratch post etc.) online...does anyone know of the best website to order from? Or even have any suggestions?
