I've had cats all my life but this is the first Siamese I've had. He's 11 in June and I would definitely have another in the future.Zimba said:@poppy123456
I’ve had many cats over the years but my last was a siamese called Jigger he had a very strong personality and would answer me back if he got told off 😁, he had a very distinctive meow which was very loud, we had him for 13 years. My brother’s cat is an old tabby cat, and she is 19, and still as fierce as ever she hates everyone except my brother and his wife. They have to put her in another room when they have visitors she’s a house cat and it’s her house 😂 great guard cat.
I know what you mean about the meow, Alfie's in the same and yes he also answers me when I talk to him
wow 19 is a good age for a cat! Haha a guard cat, I love it. Alfie, is not a guard cat, he's scared of everything and hides under the duvet if he hears anything loud downstairs. 2 -

I was getting a patch for in my knees for a long time before my knee ops it’s called a Ravlo medicated patch and it was the best thing for me to get moving in the morning.
I’ve actually just put one on the top off my leg and it soothes it right away.
Has your mum tried anything like that, they are really good. Your mum has my sympathies about her knees.
@Beaver79
Hi how are you feeling after your night out. Yes I definitely need a day in.
Poppy your cat is gorgeous, I hope your well settled into your new home and enjoying the benefits off it.

Hi yes I think they are quite new but it definitely helped heal my knee a bit last week. They only work for 7 days then they get thrown away, which I was a bit shocked about as I looked them up and they are over £200 to buy.Biblioklept said:I'd love to say I would take an older cat @poppy123456, but I think I prefer the idea of a kitten so I can raise it and get to know it's temperament and stuff as it grows. Although I imagine they're a bit harder to look after and get up to more trouble? I don't know if I could have an indoor cat as I love having all my doors and windows open, my garden fence is really high the whole way around but I imagine it could jump up. I just though, would it try and jump out the upstairs windows?!?!?? I have those open all year round.
Good morning @Albus_Scope!
@Zimba, 19 wow!!! I didn't realise cats lived so long!!
@Lou67 I didn't know such machines exist, what a brilliant invention!! The noise and flashing would drive me round the bend though I was in hospital a number of years ago, hooked up to a heart monitor, but because I have heart arrythmias it was beeping and alarming constantly, day and night. The nurses kept telling me to rest and it was impossible with the beeping non-stop!! Is the pain any better for you now?
I bet it was so nice having everyone together like that @Beaver79!! Was the food good? (I assume it must be if you keep going) My knees not giving me much pain at all it’s just a little stiff.It’s more the back off my leg up the top. But they think this could be more nerve damage as I have it in my feet and hands to 🙄 I’m falling apart 😂

Blimey, it sounds like a lot of us all need a day to recharge today, but I'm so glad to see the outings all went well. Be gentle with yourselves today please and don't push yourselves too hard.
I think @Lou67 needs a new can of WD40.

@Albus_Scope
Hahhahaha aww I think your right 😂 I hope your doing good today.
@Biblioklept
Yes definitely expensive, im sure you need to get Ravlo patches on prescription I remember my doctor telling me when she first prescribed them to let her know if they worked as they were expensive to ( I have expensive taste) 😂 but they were amazing for me they were the first thing I put on my knees when I got out off bed. You should enquire about them.@Beaver79
Enjoy your walk with the dog a bit off fresh air can do wonders. I’m really looking forward to getting back out my walks soon hopefully.

Good morning Scopicles
I'm so glad @66Mustang your meal out went so well and you talked to different people
@Beaver79 glad you enjoyed your meal out too
Morning @Ada you are due a better day today
@Lou67 a rest day sounds perfect
Don't want to keep tagging everyone but I had a cat who went up a roof and her brother tried to lead her down and in the end she had to be rescued. She was always doing daft things!4 -
@Marydoll5
Good morning I hope you and your husband slept well and feeling as good as can be. Enjoy your day. ❤️1 -
Thank you Lou! I think he knows he's handsome because he often sits on my drawers in the bedroom looking at himself in the mirrorLou67 said:

❤️ no kidding.
All settled in thank you! and yes, we love it here.
I hope your knee is healing well after your surgery.3 -

Thanks everyone who posted such nice words to me about going out
@Lou67 no my Mum has not heard of that but will definitely have to look into it, thank you!!!!
@Albus_Scope this is genuinely true. I was in Tesco at the pharmacy area a few weeks ago and someone had put a can of WD-40 along with the cod liver oil and other stuff meant for joints. It made me laugh out loud!!!!5 -

A kitten would be lovely so you could see him/her grow up. They are funny and have so much energy. You would need to keep them in for a while of course but they should already be litter trained before they are rehomed. Are they more difficult? Well, only because they will be playful because they are small but an older cat that's a few years old can also be playful. It would be lovely for you to see them grow and get used to them being around you, as you've never had a cat before.Biblioklept said:I'd love to say I would take an older cat @poppy123456, but I think I prefer the idea of a kitten so I can raise it and get to know it's temperament and stuff as it grows.

An older cat could also work for you but if you wanted them to be an indoor cat that maybe more difficult if they are used to going out.
For an indoor cat, I wouldn't worry too much about the windows. I keep mine open during the warmer months (closed in winter because it's freezing) and it's never been an issue for Alfie, my cat. He sits on the window sills smelling the fresh air lol.
The reason Alfie is an indoor cat is because I was always scared when I first had him that someone would steel him or he would get run over. He's a rare Siamese cat with 2 blue eyes and I know someone would take him if I let him out. I would be totally heart broken if I lost him!!
There's nothing nicer than him coming up to me for cuddles. He loves to put his head on my shoulder, purring his head off. My only problem is, he's so BIG and very heavy, I can't hold him for very long... 8kg is quite heavy.
He comes downstairs every night to tell me it's time for bed. Then he waits in my bedroom for me to get into bed and turn the light off before jumping on the ned next to me for cuddles. That purr sound is just so relaxing. He often puts his head on my hand and falls asleep.
It would be such lovely company for you and I'm sure you would get to love each other. 2 -
r.e. the windows / house cat thing, not to discourage you at all but just an anecdote so you can form a balanced view!
My brother used to have a girlfriend who lived in a top floor flat and had 2 cats which were strictly house cats. One day she left a window open and the dozy thing jumped out. It was rushed to the vet but cats are actually very good at falling long distances and it was completely fine, just a bit stunned!1 -
My old cat Deez used to be a "Time share" cat. He'd get breakfast, then leap out of my bedroom window, across the roof to next door, then yowl outside until he got second breakfast.
Doofy is doing a lot better today thanks @Ada, sis has just taken them all out for a gentle stroll to the end of the road and back.

@Ada
Hi I hope your feeling a bit better glad to see you posting. Oh I hope the weather keeps up for you. The suns out here to lovely and bright.
My legs ok thanks a little stiff just like the rest off me 😂
@66Mustang
Oh yes your mum should definitely speak to the doctor I know everyone is different but they helped me massively.

No plans except housework @Biblioklept,which is proving to be difficult on account of there being washing draped everywhere.2
-
It's dry and sunny here @Ada,,but we had a heavy shower this morning just after I'd hung out the washing.
I didn't bother putting it out again,I can't be bothered watching the weather all day.
Mr Teigr has gone to the tip with a load of cardboard that won't fit into the recycling bags.2
