Cat advice

Ha, they are such a handful that breed , you can train them which is fun and they live for hunting , merlin brought me a big fish out of someones pond the other day , not a koi thankfully lol

yes it’s funny she has got close to me as she knows I bring her food in! I swear she talks to me in the morning.
 
Been on my own for a few weeks with the cat and really bonded. She came in the other night and was head butting me as I lay down. Googled it and it is a sign of affection. Was worried as she didn’t seem to be drinking much water. So I went to Pets r us tonight and they said they don’t like to drink water next to where they serve food so I ended up buying some sort of drinks fountain as they like running water apparently.

biggest stress for me is when she goes out and I shit myself she is never coming back. Takes some getting used to.

enjoying being a cat owner though.

always had cats - unlike dogs they are pretty independent individuals who require less input. Thats the received wisdom espouse by non-cat owners - then you get one and they natter to you and they lie on the bed, they get under your feet and want you to get up at 3am and come down to the kitchen just to WATCH them eat !! Ours eats in the kitchen but drinks water on the landing - changed twice a day wherever possible.

They all have their own personality but so do dogs and horses I suppose - our current cat is a stray that decided we were her next home and she has been here 3 years. I had a previous cat for 23 years and when she dies I vowed never again as her death broke me for so many reasons but the minute Millie came into the house I was happy to have her. She clearly doesn't favour me - preferring my wife and daughter - but that makes the headbutting and wanting to snuggle up on a cold night even nicer.

I like dogs - we had them as kids and 2 of my sisters have several but for me cats just have the edge for ownership.
 
I’ve got a feral cat that comes into my flat to say hello.

This was when she was very young, she’s a bit bigger now:

Any excuse to post a picture of my pride and joy relaxing after a night on the tiles.

Got a kitten for my little girls birthday back in May, had never owned a cat or any pet other than a goldfish before. She can be a pain with biting feet although this is rare and she seems to have calmed down now she goes out.

She has taken to going out really well. Always comes back but she lost her collar the other day, got a phone call yesterday telling us the collar had been found, she’d walked into someone’s conservatory and their cat chased her out and they had a fight, although she didn’t seem off or have any injuries. She doesn’t go that way now when she goes out (in peoples gardens and along our back wall) but instead climbs over the fence and goes out front, which is making me worried about cars etc.

She’s an affectionate cat most of the time, but like has been said she does not drink enough water. May have to invest in one of them running water things someone mentioned.
