    A new kitten!

    Hello people,

    As some of you may know from one of my earlier Emails, I lost my little cat Twizzel a couple of months ago; he was found dead near a busy road by the animal ambulance.
    Since then I have been looking for a new cat as companion, unfortunate at the time there was no other little cat to adopt as it wasn't really the season and the older cats at the animal shelter had 'problems' which made it difficult to adopt one of.

    Well I would to tell you all that I have found a new little cat and that he has come home with me today.
    Its a little kitten with the same pattern as Twizzel and I am calling him 'Zippy'.
    Right now he finds everything scary, mommy is no longer around and none of the smells in house are familiar to him except for a blanket which I took with me, while he does do some careful exploration he tends to hide when I am around, well that and meow a lot for mom.

    As soon as I have access to a camera I will make a picture for you all to see.

    Congratulations on eventually finding a new kitten. I hope he makes you happy again.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Just remember, kittens LOVE to chew. So keep all those cables nicely tucked away (I went through multiple PS2 controllers because of a couple of frisky kittens.)

    Thank you all for your responses, will try to get those pictures as soon as possible.

    v85rawdeal,

    * gasp * I just realized I saw him chewing on those cables, I have put my controller pads out of his reach now.

    The other thing is always remember to get pet insurance. Cats, especially kittens are forever getting into trouble and it can get very very very expensive and not just in chewed controllers.

    And also make sure you get him chipped. Cats tend to loose collers (One of mine takes great pleasure in taking his off, little bastard) and they only talk to their owners so a chip is always usefull.

    I remember how depressed you got over your previous cat, so it's great to hear that you've found a new one at last.

    And yeah, kittens definitely love chewing. I've lost several things to that over the years including a mobile charger which was thankfully not plugged in. And a regular phone cable, while I was using the phone. Was talking with my friend when it suddenly went dead. Pulled at the cable to see if it had somehow gotten disconnected and ended up with a cut end. Looked down and saw the kitten in the middle of a life and death battle with the other end. Well, the phone was dead so the cat won I guess. That same cat also chewed over a speaker cable before I finally got the message and started hiding cables behind and under stuff.

    My mums cats chewed everything - even things that was obviously hurting them (christmas tree branches...). A new pet can cheer you up no ends
