Kittens

I went down the pedigree route and got two Maine **** kittens for £200, I think they were worth every penny, but then I guess I would as they are my cats :p I'm hardly likely to be saying they were really overpriced now that I love them.

Saying that I don't really see any advantages of buying privately unless you are after a very specific breed which they likely wouldn't have a rehoming place.

A pic from the day I bought them home:

Looks lovely :D £200 :O! lol I've priced up all the stuff that I will need and it comes just under £100 But it will be worth it
 
wow, you gonna get 200 pounds worth looks like plus the food bills

Only thing I can think of similar to that, bigger even would be a bobcat. I would guess they need a licence though

Re-homing centre we use like to vet (so to speak) prospective owners for suitability - living on a busy main road would be a no go.

They are very nice. But beware. My Dad has one (Oskar) and it was cute to start with. Now it looks like this! It has brought in ducks, pigeons, and all manner of undegrowth living wildlife. :eek:

I can understand if you live in a city and thats why I don't have one but most people live close to main roads and cats get used to it.

Wouldn't like to be locked inside all day and niether would any cat I have owned and such I wouldn't ever do it to something I loved.

1 cat out of 4 has been run over but he had a happy 15 years of as much food and space as he wanted. RIP.

Anyway I won't argue as I will end up offending people, I just think it is cruel to lock cats up but many people seemingly do not.

Fair enough I see what your saying, It's not going to be locked in all the time it's just we wouldn't want it running into the road and then getting squashed so for the first few years it would probably stay inside to be on the safe side

I agree. Cats like to get out and explore - it's their nature.
 
I would really like a cat but with kids planned in the next 2 years it isn't ideal. I've heard a few people who've had to give up their cats because of a new arrival.
