I went to see the Abandoned Boy today. He is lovely.
Inquisitive, interactive, playful, purry, gentle.
Unfortunately he is almost the same colour as the floor so he doesn’t show to advantage. But I feel quite proud of getting any pictures at all, he was on the move, rubbing, sniffing, checking out my bag, which MasterB checked out in turn when I got home.
It took him less than two minutes to decide I was alright. Apparently the first two days he hid, but now he wants to know what is going on and comes across as a confident boy.
A bit too confident when it comes to cameras.
He makes a nice silhouette.
He reminded me of MasterB so much; playing without using his claws, nibbling not biting, bouncing, pouncing, climbing into my bag, even growling when there was a noise downstairs.
Whoever takes him is going to have a really super cat. and I want them to come back here and say how he is. I know he was abandoned, but it shows that he has been loved and cared for. He’s a people cat, a companion animal who was very very happy to have two people paying attention to him.
Bless.
How somebody can abandon a lovely boy like that boggles my mind. I hope he finds a new home soon.
Got the phishing warning agin when i tried to click back to you. I must make a note of how to reach your site.
We talked a fair bit about it today. maybe they couldn’t look after him and were afraid that the vet would say she wouldn’t take him. Plenty of rescue centres are full and have waiting lists. I don’t condone what they did, but it seems to me they thought of a plan that would ensure their cat was looked after. Some people just take them far away and leave them.
He’s got such a dear little face…..I hope someone takes him home with them soon. Perhaps someone visiting the vet will see him and fall in love with him….wouldn’t that be nice?! I love that last photo…….so sweet.

He is at the cattery in an upstairs room, so no one will se him by chance. I don’t know if there is a photo of him at the vet’s. There may well be.
I wish I were in a position to take him.
He’s gorgeous and such a beautiful colour and soft features!
Now why have I had to approve you?
I expect he’d be very happy in Exeter. 🙂
I wish I lived in a bigger flat with my own garden and I were home more then I could have him. Meanwhile MasterB who has just come in, is racing about and treating the place like a feline Brands Hatch.
I blame Sarah Storey.
Sadly the border terrrorists would devour him! I’d fill my world with furry friends if I could 🙂
Border terrorists?
He is absolutely beautiful! I may have to move home 😀
I hope he gets a good home soon.
If you had two cats they would play with one another and tire themselves out 😛
The neighbours would explode. I could foster him if MasterB would accept him, but the initial separation and quarantining would be very hard. Also, they feel he has been mucked about enough, and if he leaves the cattery it should be for his ‘forever’ home.
Could MasterB go into the cattery for a couple of days to meet him? I know it’s different on home turf but you might get an indication of how they could bond.
I wondered that, but it still leaves the problem of my neighbours…
Have they explicitly raised an objection or do you just think they will?
The secretary of the committee is saying that residents need to get permission before getting a pet. It’s bollocks, but I don’t want a row.
Could you ask for permission? Either that or you should make that move 😀
Make that move. We don’t have to ask permission. The lease is clear. We have the right to have pets that aren’t a nuisance.

Legally it is very vague, particularly with regard to cats. Barking dogs come into it. Our best hope is for people to speak up at the next meeting and challenge this edict. It needs to be sorted or future generations of residents here may well believe they can’t have pets.
I bet there isn’t a definition of what being a nuisance constitutes. Very annoying.
Oh do! You know what MasterB is like. He is cut from the same cloth.
Isobel he looks to have that short compact stocky body that I love in a cat. He has a beautiful face. Pink nose! He is hard to resist and he gets a the nod from someone I trust. I don’t know whether to be happy or sad that we are so far away. Plenty of kitties here locally that need homes although our shelter for two days has posted online “there are no cats to adopt at this time”. Very good 🙂 I hope he finds a home very soon. It goes without saying that I wish it were yours and MasterB’s home.
That is very good news if your local rescue place has no cats needing homes.
This one could always emigrate! The I could enjoy seeing pix of him and hearing his progress. 🙂
Isobel, where is kitty exactly? As in part of the world. Thanks!
He is in London, in Dulwich.
