  • I see. Not the responses I expected so I probably have less excuse to go back and put my foot down now.
    I was aware of the leads. I should say I've been made aware of them by the other half who has thought of all possible ways in which to make having a kitty possible. Including "taking it for days out" in one of those cat carrier bubble backpack things.

    Where does one adopt a kitten/go to be adopted by a kitten?
    The few times this year I've gone to cat rescues, they've just had little old boys with very particular needs.
    Including one little fella who liked to sit upright on his back legs and would only eat his dinner if he was stroked while he ate and wouldn't drink any water unless it was in a different room to his food.

    In terms of indoor/outdoor, I agree that its not fair to keep an animal locked up where they don't want to be so I think I could probably let go of my fear and let it out back for a wander as well as trying to drag it through the park on a lead. I'd be sleeping easier at night if the cat preferred the indoors and was content choosing in rather than out at night especially

  • I have always thought this type of backpack very awful. There isn’t enough room in the pack for a cat to sit down properly I don’t think. If you are gonna take it out in a backpack, you might as well put a harness on it and put it in a normal backpack.

    As for adapting, how about double trouble? This way they have a play mate?

    Plenty of places to adopt: Celia Hammond (they are a bit rude and annoying but their heart is in the right place) and Battersea (where Patch is from, but my experience with them was truly awful) are the 2 that comes to mind immediately. Google cat resure in your area and you’ll find plenty.

  • Mayhew!

    Edited to say that Remus & Rambo look like they will be trouble!

  • Where does one adopt a kitten/go to be adopted by a kitten?

    Wait until someone you know ends up with a bunch of them by accident.

    Whatever you do, do not buy them from eBay. Do not buy them from anywhere, unless you want a specific breed and you've done your homework.

  • Just get a cat, life will be better etc.
