Mabel arrived exactly 8 weeks ago and my house feels like a home again. I met her when I went to visit a cat rescue close to me and once I had spent some time with her, I decided that she was 'the one' and I didn't need to meet any of the other cats. I had gone with a pretty open mind; I was happy to have a bonded pair of cats, a couple of kittens or a youngish adult cat. Colour wasn't important either. When I saw Mabel, she was in the back of a box where she had taken refuge but she allowed me to stroke her and nuzzled her head against my hand. She hadn't been in the cat rescue for very long. Her original owner could no longer keep her so she had gone to live with the owner's daughter. But she didn't get on with the resident cat so was taken to the cat rescue to be rehomed. I brought her home 8 weeks ago and she has settled in incredibly well. She is very sweet and affectionate, but has an independent streak too so she doesn't want to be on my lap 24/7, unlike Flo. She is very playful and has totally bonkers zoomies sessions around the house. She hasn't been outside yet, but is already showing a lot of interest in birds and has hissed through the window at my neighbour's cat! Here are a few photos of Mabel's first few weeks chez josiekitten. xxx
