Thread: Going to look at an MC some advice

She's lovely - and as Musicalife says - a naughty tortie! Don't be fooled by their cuteness - we've got 2 torties and they are both extremely naughty!! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with her

I am sure she will be, starting to think about how to tortie proof my house, I will probably have to get round to finishing off hiding my speaker wire for my surround sound system.

How bad can they be with cables?

We automatically inform clients that when they find a new vets to get them to phone us & we transfer all notes over so you should have no problems with that.
I agree about getting to know your local vet as soon as possible as you want to feel comfortable if you have a sudden emergency but when I took on my adult re home girl I was pleased she had been spayed at her previous owners vets although her breeder was very embarrassed at the amount of hair they had clipped off her side especially knowing where I worked. Its a bit upsetting for them leaving their home anyway & I didn't think it fair to get her back settle her for a few days & then whisk her off for an op,yep they soon get over it but I felt it was one hurdle not needed for her at that point. Nasties over within the environment she knew & a nice new mum & dad to take the hurt away afterwards.....
If you did decide to do it that way you could always just make a quick health check appointment at your new vets to introduce both yourself & her to the practice.
Luv her name by the way,bit of a mouthful but very different & I think it suits a nortie tortie although at the moment my tortie hasn't been tooooooo bad but will continue not to hold my breath & with cables my odds were one out of seven but that one made us have to use cable protectors....!

Thanks for your advice, her name is a bit long which is why I think they call her Rommie which I like, also doesn't sound anything like dinner or food, as my ex had a kitten we started to call ninja but realised ninja and dinner sound very alike so didn't want to think she was getting fed when we called her.

I am leaning more to having my local vet do the work, as MC meant to be done 6-12 months from what I have read on other threads, so can give her a month or so to settle in before taking her to the vets for that.

But I will book into the vets for a visit, register, checkup etc once I have her.

I am not too worried about the TV for cables as all of the cabling is in the back of the fireplace along with all the home theatre stuff, but the speaker cables to the rear speakers are all under the carpet but come out in the corners so going to need to do something there, my biggest concern is my study with 4 computers, 2 monitors, desk lamps that is a lot of cable so need to think of a way to hide that, so suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Don't forget to remove any ornaments too - our are terrors with anything they can knock over/pick up and carry off etc! Many times I've come out of the bedroom to be welcomed by an empty yoghurt pot that I've left in the kitchen until I got around to putting it in the recycling bin!! And it was one of those naughty torties who did it

I think in that respect will be good for me as live on my own, I am forever just leaving plates on the worktop or have a muller rice and leave the pot in the lounge saying will get it later, at least with an MC around will make me keep my kitchen tidier lol
