We shall see how the training goes.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-10537531070121973852018-08-12T02:32:46.231-04:002018-08-12T02:32:46.231-04:00 a very pretty cat you have found a home for there... a very pretty cat you have found a home for there. just a thought if you are keeping him inside... our neighbours have a Siamese cat that they put a halter and lead on, to take him for walks outside.. it is a very long lead so the cat hardly knows he is restricted.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620588456375419442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-87128698182304499572018-08-10T18:41:55.850-04:002018-08-10T18:41:55.850-04:00Hi World of Animals, he is fast taking over our wh...Hi World of Animals, he is fast taking over our whole household, we are trying to adapt to his needs.

I remember the first year with our Nigella Stopit, she was a climber and in to absolutely everything! We felt exhausted and almost too old to be "parents" at times, but it really was worth it! Naming cats is quite a challenge, but all of ours have eventually found a name that seemed right, and usually gained a nick name or two as well! <br />PxxPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-23009536047738359832018-08-09T23:02:07.551-04:002018-08-09T23:02:07.551-04:00Oh!

Bonkers is a lucky little fellow...and I'm sure he has already come to that understanding.<br /><br />My two, who will turn 16 years this November....drink their water from a large glass "tankard" on "our" bedside table...not from anywhere else. There is always a bowl of dry food at the ready for them to graze on at will. They get a packet or can, or two each morning for breakfast; and always late afternoon, I chop up fresh meat for them. This has been their diet/menu since they came into my life as six week old kittens. They're brother and sister. <br /><br />Remy is black and white; and Shama, his sister, is a tabby. I love them dearly...and I know they love me equally in return. :)<br /><br />I am so glad Gary talked you into getting Bonkers...We will always miss the ones we've lost, but I can't imagine my life without a cat in it. However, mine are getting older...as am I...and that does create a quandary for me.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-30426191087320300912018-08-09T18:24:09.592-04:002018-08-09T18:24:09.592-04:00Welcome Bonkers!

Maybe he'll grow up to be a buttercup but he is definitely Bonkers for now. Cats have a innate sense of what is correct I think. I can't think of a time I've never had a cat. I've spend more time with one than without that's for sure.
