She's not so good in the carrier, but she likes to go free range when we're on the ferry  

Lovely navigator, slinki!

She keeps me right with directions Lori  

She is stunning, Slinki. What a regal face she has. Absolutely beautiful.

Ta Gyps, I think she's gorgeous  Funny wee face though, it changes to suit her mood .. goes all soft and rounded when she's affectionate , and all that kind of regal way when she's interested in something - a wee shapeshifter! ( she does an excellent huff face as well) 

Hugo caught another mouse last night,I had to shout to my niece's partner  to get him,Hugo dropped the mouse in the hall,poor wee thing wasn't dead but badly injured.My niece's partner had to kill it quickly.

So what you mean, Slinki, is that she has you wrapped round her little paw, and can pull a cute face when needed (they all have us blooming round their little paws)

Katy...does hugo go outside then? x

No Gypsie,the mice come indoors! We have a garden,I'd rather Hugo caught them and killed them quickly (he's an inexperienced hunter) Than slow poisoning them with bait,which we now can't use anyway because of Hugo.

sounds about right Gypsie! !

Mouse season right enough katty , my neighbour's cat keeps bringing her them

Oh, she's beautiful Slinki! Is she a particular breed? I can see a bit of Norwegian Forest cat in her.

You weren't far off there Katerina - she's a Maine Coon - pretty small though ! 

This is her in all her Maine Cooniness, queen of the van  

Of course, didn't think of Maine Coon. Her character shines out of the pics Slinki! Stunning cat

Kenji hates the carrier, too, slinki. He's only ever ridden "free range" in the car...mostly on my lap.

Slinkeh...  your cat is beautiful!! 

! Minka just squawks and squeals as soon as the lid closes, but she's not so bad if I open the lid a tiny bit - soon as the car stops though she's out and on the dash!  She's actually getting good at going back in the carrier when we're about to move, think she knows the script for the journey now  

She's turned out a lovely thing . Was scared of her shadow when we got her , still has some weird habits and is still spooked by people she doesn't know , but she's really affectionate and smart now, got me well trained  

Ta ditty, I'm a bit besotted  

Right,I  have decided to change my wee baby Hamsters name from "Nico" to "sox" because he's deep chocolate brown,with little pink feet and a ring of white fur round his wee ankles.He also has a white undersripe on his belly.Photos will follow soon.I don't want to stress him too much..he can be handled  but is still a wee bit nervous.he's still a baby.

Happy new Sox katty! 

My cousin has a male cat "Loki" that looks just like that,We always suspected a good portion of "Maine Coon" he however being an entire male has the full big old "mutton chops" face.

I love that muttonchops thing .. male maine coons are handsome big critturs! 

He's very thin,but fluffy.(Loki)They have taken him to the vet ,who stated he has a very fast metabolism.Honestly he weighs a third about what our "Hugo" weighs.Hugo being a Bengal is solid muscle.

No,hugo is just naughty!

Haha!

Can't wait to see pics of your new hamster, katty!

I've been wanting to tell you guys...we got a second kitty!

Poor Mr Lori is still trying to figure out how he ended up with TWO CATS when he doesn't want ANY pets!

The funny thing is, he loves the new one (her name is Gypsy), and she has totally bonded to him. As soon as we can get some decent pictures, I'll post one...she's still a bit shy and skittish, especially since Kenji won't leave her alone. On the other hand, Kenji is getting loads of exercise, since he keeps chasing her 'round the house.

! Hahahah! It was inevitable You'll be into double figures in no time  

Hope she sits still long enough for some photos soon! 

Like the name.. was that inspired by anyone in this thread ? ! 

Hugo looks well at himself katty, big powerful guy! 

Awwww Lori, congrats on your new fur baby!!! Great name too !!

But we need photos! we need new baby cat photos and new baby hamster photos too xx

Have puppy pictures instead. 

Congrats on your new additions Lori.

awwww.. nice puppies Cinds! 

Congrats Katty & Lori on your new additions.. .

PHOTOS...   WE NEEEEEEED PHOTOS!!

I can't get her to stick around long enough for a decent photo, but mr Lori has promised to get some. He's home with her all day, and says she is all over him.

She was our son's cat (she's about a year old). He named her Nipsy, which we've never liked. We changed it to Gypsy cuz it sounded so close, and then found out that Gypsy had been her birth name, and he'd changed it from that.

there you go col!

Rox - 

Oh Roxan, so sorry to hear that.  Sending you massive hugs 

Sorry Roxan.
