The rabbit,budgie and the hamster never meet Hugo.I do my rota of so many hours for them.Hugo likes to kip in the afternoon anyway,so That's when the others get out and he gets shut in the bedroom.

That's not to say he tries to get in to "see" them,I just have to make sure the door is bolted against him. Hugo got weighed at the vets,when he got his claws clipped.He should be lighter than that,he could lose a kilo.Though the vet stated he's pure muscle not fat.

Aww she's so cute!

filthy bitch!!

she really REALLY is 

Hugo looking ebil! He's not really, just the light reflecting on his eyes as he lies on my niece's partners legs.He loves lying on anyone.

He's so gorgeous, katty! Kenji likes to lay on people like that, too....tends to cut the circulation off in my legs. 

Wow Hugo has really filled out, he looks like a big hunk of cat. What a stunning boy x

I was visiting my cousin and she has a cat ,I think he's about 70% Maine Coon,a big furball with the fluffiest tail  I've seen.He's three but an entire cat,he has the big old face muttonchops.He weighs about half  of what Hugo does,he was checked at the vet but they said he's just naturally skinny,a fast metabolism as he loves his grub and is well fed,he's called "Loki" after the Norse god of mischief,I'll have to get a pic of him.

I call him my mini tiger as he's quite stripey,he has spots on his underside,his claws are growing in again...sigh!

Do you guys clip them at home, or take him to the vet for that?

Mr. Lori has always clipped Kenji for me, but lately he's been making me do it myself. A bit of a challenge. 

My niece takes him to the vet only costs £8.00 .I have clippers that I use on the rabbit,a cat's claws would be no problem,but they want the vet to do it..shrugs.He's "vocal" all the way there and back,he hates the carry case,but he's fine at the vets especially as the staff all come to "ohh and Ahh " him.

Kenji was absolutely freaking out in the carrier, so the vets let me bring him in on a leash and harness. Life got MUCH easier when we switched to that!

All the fancy toys they buy him,and he loves a cardboard box to lie on,hide in etc.Save your money.

I cut my cats claws with nail clippers when they are asleep. If they were awake there is no way they would let me.

I used to have a cat who would let me clip him while he slept (he was a kitten then). No more.... 

Hugo is gorgeous, Katty. I love his golden fur.

Zeus loves a box more than a toy! (apart from da bird....he really loves da bird)

I am training Egypt to jump on my shoulder, I have been flapping bits of turkey around today, and got nowhere, but I am keeping the faith!! Gyps read somewhere that most begals do it, so giving how zeus and Atlas are both a bit, erm, dappy! little thing is my only hope!! she will learn to do this if it kills me!!

*enjoys the mental picture of zazz flapping bits of turkey around*

it would appear, again, we have an odd ball bengal....

like we weren't done over with Zeus who should be a real "wild" typical bengal who has turned out to just be a bit doppy, and possibly the most laid back, chilled out, well behaved animal in the whole of the world...we then have Atlas who is only intrested in music and dance, and doesnt care for anything other than his cat biscuits....So we thought in little Egypt we would get the "real deal" she eats raw meat, growls at the other two if they go near her grub, she is naughty and leads Atlas astray, she likes to climb...I really thought she would be the full package, only it turns out she actually hasnt grown since being a kitten she is still the same size, just a bit more chunky in width she must be the tiniest cat of 8 months. The boys were 8 months when we got her, and they were pretty big then! she is 8 months now, and still tiny!!

Killer, wild bengals my arse!!

they are all still gawjuss though regardless of their flaws !!

My sister had two Bengals (sadly she lost one last year) Max - the surviving one is huuuuge and a bit of an animal - Lula had to be put down last year (she was a runt) but so lovely and playful. They were brother and sister.

They all have their individual personalities!

little Egypt...**melts**

Zeus!!

Atlasaurus!!

THIS one of Egypt is one of my favourites!!....she is so adorable

Egypt is sooo pretty *melts too* She's grown up a bit, hasn't she?

Does she still rule the roost?  

she is a proper little madam, and all dainty with it, a real girly cat, but yes, she rules the roost! Totally! Her and Atlas dont like to be apart (moslty on Atlas' part, he is obsessed with Egypt) they love each other so much, even though Atlas was dead against her when we first took her home She is so naughty, and has lead the boys astray! and I am not even joking! Egypt does this digging thing on the duvet, it is dead annoying in the middle of the night! she has now had Atlas doing it too***blink** she is a nightmare, but totally adorable with it

Aww sweet.Hugo loves the material tube that ASDA sell,he "Hides" in it even though his arse and tail are visible.He's still bloody hunts me of a morning,yesterday he reached me shoulders with his paws wrapped round with claws out!

Its so lovely how Atlas took to Egypt  *cuuuute*

Why do you think he lubs her so much Zazz?

b.t.w. I want more photos please!!!  

Its crap that no cats are allowed in my building  but i like a fix now and again  

I love the little tents! Are you gonna take them camping?

D'ya know, I think he loves her because before she came along, it was kind of Zeus looking after Atlas, and when little Egypt came along it gave Atlas someone to "look after" even though she doesnt need any kind of looking after Zeus loves them both too, but it is like he is their Dad!!

God, camping with them would be impossible! ya tent would be in shreds faster than you can erect it!!!

Aww so sweet, like a little family

*but I'm glad i don't have to deal with the cats duvet digging* .. not so cute Zazz! 

My niece tried Hugo with the harness and opened the outside door.He wouldn't budge to move outside.She didn't wan't to force him,he was quite scared to be honest.I think he'll always be an indoor cat.He does love to look outside via the window,even the open door at times ,he just won't cross the threshold.

those tents i got for their birthday but i couldnt wait to give them them. They have had them 3 days now and they are ripped to shreds

Katty, they recommend that when you are teaching the cats harness training just to open the door often and let them be the ones to take that step outside in their own time, its normal that he looks petrified but doesn't mean he wont learn to love it.  They also say you should do it very early in the morning or late at night when the traffic and noise is at a minimum. 

It would be just to let him wander the garden in the summer etc.He's now over a year old,we'll keep trying.

Suki...

Does anyone rememer the cat that was looking for a home called suki? I was talking to a couple of you on here who were interested in her. 

The bloke (who never got back to me) finally got back to me today

Said that he rarely visits the forum because he is finding it hard to go through with it even though he knows its for the best for her. anyway he is in contact now and the little beautiful girl is still available.

Does that mean you're getting another cat??

No, no no no no no

*thinks**

NO

NO
