Been owned by a rescue MC for 10 days!

Well I've been owned by Buddy for just 10 days now and wonder what I ever did without him. Thank you all for answering my many questions and of course MickB for providing his name.

Its been a busy few days of appts and getting to know each other. Groomers was erm interesting, vets even more so. But Buddy is now mat free and has a clean bill of health. Plumber has been called to reinforce bathroom sink lol I have to brush my teeth in the bath now!

Buddy is still nervous, he is great and affectionate with me but when others are about he is different. Think this is just going to be a matter of time.

Well the soppy great ginger has shown his intelect. He can, and does open his food cupboard, opens the microwave when there's chicken in it, hides his brush, takes over the bathroom sink, manages to take up more of my bed than I do, growl at anyone who comes near my door and can give fantastic cuddles when he is in the mood. He is starting to pick up on my epilepsy now as well - he gets really violent much like my previous cat did.

Oh and he is quite the little thief ...... can I have my heart back now please Buddy?

My previous cat Meme slept with me and by mourning I'd be on the edge and she'd be snoozing in the middle of the bed, she was a great cat, gone over 15 years and I still miss her and her squeaky meow.

I've always let my pets on my bed. Buddy just seems to take over. He starts the night curled up in a ball on his pillow and ends up full stetch with his head on my pillows. Love him to bits tho x

Sounds like you two have found each other perfectly. Good luck and happiness for many years together!

Can't MC's make you feel like the lodger pretty quickly,interesting that he has already picked up on your epilepsy I wonder why it makes them react in a violent way though...?
I am sure he will become a lot more confident & appreciate other two legged people in your life but he sure seems to have got his paws under the sheet with the most important person....x

Congrats on being adopted :D Sound slike he has the lovely huge personality the MC's have that we all love! xxx

Buddy sounds like a little sweetheart :) I hope you two have lots of fun together!

What a sweetie, it sounds like Buddy has got you totally heres to lots of years of love

Buddy sounds fab. Our bathroom sink is usually occupied by Keeps and there's not much room in our bed if they're all in there, 4 Maine Coons and a Border Collie.

That's it exactly. You have to hang on to your place.

I have always said that the cat chooses you not the other way around :o)

Jo - your house sounds like ours, we shut them out at night but the dog (weimaraner) lets everyone in in the morning and with 5 cats and her and my 4 year old it gets very crowded and usually ends in some sort of punch up!

We can't shut ours out of the bedroom at night as they scratch at the door and then bang the door and the handle until it opens and they can get in.

I turned door handles upside down to stop Buddy opening them - his revenge for being shut out of my bath is to park himself on top of the bathroom door and there is nothing that will coax him down lol. Bet he moves if I try and get into my bed lol
