Remster 30 #2 February 9, 2004 The unslought of Killye Minogue videos in the UK has made finding live kittens very difficult.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #7 February 9, 2004 Interesting fact - kittens, like lambs, have a season. Generally they tend to be born from around April onwards, so they're in pretty short supply at this time of year. I only know this because my work colleague is also trying to get hold of one. Anyway, the bottom line is you may have to get a young cat born last spring / summer. Whatever, don't forget that a kitten is for life etc. etc. They're great pets because they're pretty independent, but they still want breakfast long before you want to get out of bed...

Red_Skydiver 0 #8 February 9, 2004 I know, I know! I had a cat for 7 years before and they can be a pain in the butt at times (especially when you have the hangover from hell). This has been thought through carefully and we will be getting one anyway if I don't get one in time for valentines day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJD 0 #9 February 9, 2004 Well, we got ours from a friend of a friend whose cats had had a litter (and we took two because we didn't have the heart to leave one behind by itself - plus they're good company for one another). I think that's always the best way if you can do it, so I'd recommend posting an advert at work or something - seems a shame you should have to pay for a regular mog when generally speaking you're doing someone a favour by giving it a good home. But I guess with 5 days to go you need to keep all your options open. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #10 February 9, 2004 For goodness sake. Contact your local animal shelter, RSPCA or whatever it is....Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caz 0 #11 February 9, 2004 If you're going to get an animal you can't get a cat! What are you going to do with a kitten when you go jumping up at Chatteris for the weekend, introduce it to Kims Dobermans and ask them to play nicely?? ~~~ London Skydivers ~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red_Skydiver 0 #12 February 9, 2004 B will be at home to look after it - or if she starts jumping later this year (she wants to do AFF in May) then we'll get a car and probably just do day return trips to dz - or put it in cattery for a night - or get a friend to pop round and feed it - eh Caz!!?!!

MikeJD 0 #13 February 9, 2004 Happy Valentines Day, darling. I got you a one-legged cat with a personality disorder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caz 0 #14 February 9, 2004 yeah right, i'll be at the dz too! plus i'm allergic to hairy cats, so if you get one, make sure you get a short haired one! ~~~ London Skydivers ~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red_Skydiver 0 #15 February 9, 2004 Would go to a resucue centre but the only one I know of is Battersea Dogs Home (yes they do have cats too!) and it isn't that simple. They want to come round to the house to ensure it is a safe environment for the cat and to meet all of the occupants of the house. Then we all have to meet the cat. If we like the cat and the cat likes us then they will consider letting us take it home - and you have to pay £40.00 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 221 #16 February 9, 2004 You mean the ones that are all cuddly, and like it when they are petted, and given good stuff to eat, and kissed all the time?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #17 February 9, 2004 They cant be that selective at the Battersea shelter. Hell, they let one of their employees date a well known Poodle-abuser lmaoRemster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #18 February 9, 2004 Why do you want a Kitten? I don't think the UPSA or the Humane Society (or whatever equivelant you have in UK) will be very happy with you jumping with them. Probably scratch you up in freefall.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caz 0 #20 February 9, 2004 www.cats.org.uk seems like a good resource, similar to Batterseas policies but you only have to pay £20 rather than £40! I didn't check to see if there are any shelters near round your way though as I didn't have time (read: couldn't be arsed to look) plus I don't like cats! ~~~ London Skydivers ~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJD 0 #21 February 9, 2004 Heck, Simon, I'll tell you what - you can have one of mine. He eats twice his own bodyweight in food daily, and five minutes after finishing a meal he'll be whining for more. He won't let you sleep beyond six in the morning and if you go around barefoot he bites your toes. He's too fat to get around much so mostly he just lies in your path and trips you up at every opportunity. Sound like the kind of thing you're looking for?

Red_Skydiver 0 #22 February 9, 2004 Cheers!! I've done a lot of searches on the interent but never found this one. Which search engine did you use? Most searches for cats in London just bring up sites for the CATS west end show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #24 February 9, 2004 Try looking in the local vets, most Vets have people asking to advertise for a good home for kittens.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

skycat 0 #25 February 10, 2004 My recommendation if you are a busy person with an active lifestyle.......do not get a persian, yes they are cute and cuddly, but they are more like a dog than a cat and want LOTS of attention and need tons of grooming. I just shave mine every few weeks, to save on some of the grooming work. Yet he still has matts.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
