Thread: I'm such a sucker for these guys...

Once again looks as if fate could be playing its hand,you wouldn't regret having siblings,double trouble but double fun too,ours are now coming up to three & have only just really started breaking away from each other a bit & doing things,good or bad, independently of each other.I was a bit worried to begin with because they seemed joined at the hip although both have completly different personalities but now I don't have to worry so much about if I am getting one out of trouble the other isn't sneaking up behind to take over.
How long have you got to make up your mind ? Is it the little girl sitting proudly on someones lap,because if it is I think she has stated her claim....

Uh-oh, watch out, that's exactly what happened to me. The one I really 'clicked' with at first was reserved, then I found out a week after we got Larry that he had become available again....2 days later he was ours.

So will you be able to resist?
It's lovely for them if they can grow up with a littermate. And it's double trouble (ie, fun) for you!

Kari - how did you get on with King Edmund's sister?

Jolly - what have you decided to do?

It's all so very exciting. Had I realised when I got Freyja that I would succumb to a second MC, I would definitely have got a litter mate at the time. Freyja and Wicca now get on like a house on fire and I am so happy I stuck it out, but litter mates would have made it much less stressful for Freyja. And me!

We thought long and hard about it overnight and have decided to take her too! We are both so excited! 9 days to go until we collect them.

I'm really pleased that he will have a playmate! Its what we wanted in the first place but didnt think another one from the litter would become available.

Only one problem.....all the things we have bought for him are blue, were going to have to buy her a few pink things now too.

Have got house work to do but cant think of anything but kittens!!!

Lucky you & lucky babies,nine days will go very quickly.
I wouldn't worry too much about the colour scheme,daughters big black MC has always loved pink....
Updates & pictures as soon as possible please.

Now waiting for outcome of Kingedmund's visit !

Ok, so I haven't gotten to meet her in person yet (hope to this week), but after speaking with the foster parent of this darling little Maine Coon tabby furry... the way she describes her I have a feeling she is "the one" for me and Edmund... The only glitch is the lady said MANY people have inquired about her, and there's another application already being processed for her -- but nothing has been decided yet. The main requirement they have (besides obviously being able to provide for the cat) is that the new owner must already have a loving, sociable cat because this new kitty is pretty clingy and needs a friend always around (I have a loving cat, plus I work from home, so plus for them picking me!)
My heart melted when I first saw her (and how couldn't it!)
She's young, but being a rescue I understand - it's not like a breeder is purposefully selling a kitten too young. She was found abandoned, but the foster parent says she has adjusted to being around her and her cats beautifully and is extremely loving and has quite a fun mischievous personality.

She's 9 and 1/2 weeks old now, but I don't know how old she is in this picture.

Oh no.......change of plan. It turns out that the sister is now not available.

Very long story, basically the orignal owner reserved her at 2 weeks old and then wasnt in touch with the breeder for 9 weeks so the breeder opened back up the availability of the sister to us.

The next day (yesterday) the original lady got back in touch with the breeder to say that there had been a death in the family and she has been busy but was really looking forward to her kitten......so now we cant have her.

To say im gutted is an understatement :(

Boo hoo.

I'm sorry for you, that has to be hard.
I hope nothing like that happens with this kitty for me. I mean right now I know she may or may not be mine, but I would hate to think one way and then have it change...

Not the postings you want to see,so sorry for you Jolly,if you now think two is the way to go hopefully there is another babe out there waiting for you.
Sorry that the girl was not for you Kingedmund but fingers crossed for the little one....

Oh what a shame Jolly, to have your hopes up like that and all for nothing. But as Jckkerrison says, there is another babe out there for you, you just have to find her/him.
I know our breeder let down another lady at the very last minute so that we could have Monty, so these things sometimes happen. She very much wanted Monty to be homed with his brother, so she was prepared to disappoint the other lady for that reason.
