I don't see any toys by the side of the kitty .

She doesn't seem to be very keen on them.

Wolvers, scrunch up some foil into a little by ball for her!

She'll probably come round in the next couple of days. She'll be feeling disorientated and a bit scared so probably playing with toys will be the last thing on her mind.

I haven't read this thread all the way through properly, if you have literally just got the kitten she will more than likely be nervous until she finds her feet. I remember when we first got our two, they were very nervous to begin with and couldn't give a **** about toys.

Yeah, only about 5-6 posts up. Kitten only arrived about an hour ago.

She's having a sleep in the corner behind the arm chair now, I think its all been a bit much for her so we'll leave her be for a while.

Are you being sarcastic?

vicisthebest · 1 Aug 2011 at 19:42

No...

You said you hadn't read all the thread, I was saying that the post where he said he'd just got back with the kitten was about 6 posts up (actually it was 10) and that it was about a hour ago.

Sorry, OcUK automated claws retracted.

Marinated with some sweet red wine, with a touch of paprika and garlic, then Gas mark 4, for 45 min.

(Cover in foil of course!)

McKay did not touch his toys for about a month or so, then he fell in love with his ball and that was that!

Takes a few days Wolvers, don't worry. Think if you were plucked from the familiar at that size and plonked down in a new scary place!!

When we got ours from battersea for the first 3 weeks they only came out at night.

Thanks for the replies, I told Mrs W not to worry but you know what they're like!

Those Bengals look ace.

^TANK^ · 1 Aug 2011 at 20:47

Did I hear you say Bengals............

Pip

Milo

Who is the more dominant of the 2 - Milo or Pip?
I'm guessing Milo...you tell me if I am right or not.

Pip strangely enough, Milo is almost twice the size of him.
