These 2 cats were known as Fats & Rossi at the Rescue
Fats, now known as Bobby and Rossi, now known as Mumbles (due to all the talking he does) moved into their new home on Wednesday 26th April. Within a couple of hours, they had settled in and were ruling the house. Over the next couple of days they had many visitors and seemed to cope well with all the attention (Ha Ha). Mumbles certainly had a lot to say for both of them. Both cats so far have enjoyed being spoilt with lots of new toys and have had great fun playing with them.
As previously mentioned, Mumbles enjoys a good chat, particularly when he wants some fussing. He enjoys sleeping on the bed on a sunny afternoon catching a few rays. Other than that, his favourite place is right under the duvet!! I often check him to make sure he is still breathing, which he is, and he looks at me as if to say, “Do you have to disturb me?!”. Bobby is a very loving cat who, I’m sure, thinks he is a dog because he follows you everywhere, even into the bathroom. His favourite pastime is licking you, giving you a wash. He does have an immaculate coat and obviously thinks everyone else should too. He often washes Mumbles who is happy to lie there and let him. Both cats are also currently enjoying having a mad half hour at 5.30 a.m. They have both taken ownership of two dining chairs where they lie and watch the world go by.
At feeding time, both cats are very patient, but definitely have a particular bowl they like to eat out of. Mumbles likes to eat his and then try to eat Bobby’s but he won’t have any of it. Bobby and Mumbles are happy to do their own thing but Bobby has always got one eye on where Mumbles is and what he is up to.
We recently attempted to give the cats a taste of the outside world but they took one look/sniff and ran back inside. I think it may have something to do with it being a little windy. Both cats are wonderful and have given us, in a short time, a lot of pleasure. They both have fantastic characters and are great in their own individual ways.
Hi There.
One month on from Puss’s arrival, we wanted to say a big thank you and to let you know just how much we love Puss and how great she is to have here. From day one she has settled with ease and been great fun.
Luckily Puss is rarely alone so has plenty of opportunity to play chase, have snuggles and generally be a gorgeous little show-off. The house would feel very empty without her. We haven’t experienced any problems with her encounters with men, only purrs and curiosity. She seems right at home and we hope very happy.
We do still call her Puss, but we also chose Maisie after a week or so. It seemed to suit her, being both pretty but also a little bit cheeky. Maisie spends her days chasing blue twine, playing with twigs or swinging with great gusto around her scratching post. Her greatest temptation appears to be a dripping tap and she will even investigate when I am in the bath. She has snuck outside on occasions (luckily she comes when called) and I have no doubt she will take to the great outdoors with ease.
She has been very good at the vets and no trouble with us at home. Thank you so much for bringing Maisie into our lives.
A big purr from Maisie.
Cosby is great and has settled in really well. He is such a character and we have completely fallen for him. He is definitely the man of the house now. He took a while to settle in being nervous for a while and having a go at his fur but as you can now see he is very relaxed and has a beautiful coat.
He has rejected all the fancy beds and toys we have given him and instead, as you will see, he much prefers to sleep and play on plastic bags. All very well but it does make the apartment look messy.
Cosby has helped me write this and has at least once deleted it.
Thank you
When we first saw Alfie, we knew he was the cat for us. He was rather scared, but had a sweet face which won us over. He was not happy in the car going home, and when there he disappeared under the bed for about 8 hours. However, when he came out he was loving and friendly − which it has continued to be − even to a fault − you don’t always want it as 3.30 in the morning.
We decided to keep his name as it seemed to suit him and perhaps he was used to it. He had been abandoned by his owners when they moved house, leaving him and 2 other cats behind. A kind neighbour brought them to the Rescue. How can people do that?
Anyhow, we followed the excellent guidelines given by the Rescue to introduce him to our other cat. This has not gone entirely to plan as BC, our other cat thinks he is TOP CAT since our last cat died. He lets Alfie know by chasing him on occasions. Alfie moves fast and see this as a challenge. However, they have not fought, so we hope in time they will work themselves out, even if they may not be good friends.
Certainly Alfie is the sweetest, friendliest cat we could as for. He especially loves to sleep on us at night, and amuses himself and us by sitting on our heads, patting us etc. to get our attention in the mornings
