I think I’d die if I seen that in the street.
He looks like a Disney princess
Happy Eyeday!
This is Dorothy (as in the ‘Lizard of Oz’), one of the JrW’s pet lizards. She’s 2 feet long end-to-end and quite chilled. Until you throw crickets at her then it’s carnage
Haha that’s an ace name
I love it when they bop their heads up and down
After his first 6 months alive in a top floor apartment, he’s living his best life window watching on the ground floor on a quiet street.
He looks to have settled in pretty quickly
Within a few hours he was eating and drinking and pooping. Happy cat. Usually takes a while with my previous cats.
Neighbour dropped round to collect her parcel and paid him multiple compliments. She couldn’t believe he’s only 6 months, he’s a big boy.
He was a bit confused by the stairs and how he can roam about everywhere unlike two rooms previously!
I really tried with them I just couldn’t seem to enjoy them.
Ours loved having an upstairs. She’d spend hours on neighbourhood watch at one of the upstairs windows
Mines on kitten food still, about £5 for a 750g of Purina One (I know I can buy more for less per kg but was in a hurry), feel like it lasts two weeks but it probs doesn’t.
He’s not insured (yes yes I know, it’s coming he’s just not had access to outdoors). Depending on cover and age, cheapest I could get was around £8pm.
Kitten vaccines £85, snip £110 I think.
He was very poorly and cost me a few £££s (never use Vets4Pets again), Animal Trust £30 or something to fix him.
Cat toys and treats - priceless.
The cost shouldn’t be the only factor in getting a pet.
They are a long-term commitment of 10 to 20 years. Beyond the expenses, they need consistent care, love, and time. You need to consider your lifestyle, how much time you can spend with them, and if you you have cost concerns now, how this might impact potential challenges, like vet emergencies.
My absolute gem knows I feel shitty rn and he’s here for me.
We don’t deserve pets. Especially cats (some may say they don’t express empathy or any other feels but I beg to differ).
We’re getting a new addition to the family this week. She’s a 7-year-old cat from a local cat rescue charity whose owner has gone into palliative care. She’s very sweet-natured and likes other cats so we don’t anticipate any issues with our current cat, who’s also fine with non-aggressive cats.
We went to meet her at the weekend…
Today’s the day - arriving around 5pm. Everything’s ready
