With Jack Black the cat passing nearly a month ago we dived in with both feet to get a new cat, the new cat however was not a replacement for jack but instead a new chapter in our cat owning lives. We decided to go with a rescue cat and looked round at various cat rescue places , we were paricualry taken with with British shorthair cat called Bob who was large ( part of his breed ) but unfortunately he had a flat face and an overbite. We felt that this was going to store up potential health problems in the future. I am sure Bob will find a loving home but you just know when a cat isn't right for you.
I spotted Arweb on another cat rescue site on Facebook ( who ever said time was wasted on Facebook , well it isn't especially when it comes to cats. We went to see Arweb ( previous Tabby Tabitha , and we flat that Tabitha didn't suit her as it was too Enid Blyton )
There are many things to consider when you adopt a rescue cat as all cats have different personalities , Arwen's personalty is coming out. She is very friendly and chirps a lot and will come and sit on you sometimes or at least near you , she is very quick and energetic and we have been known to stick Squirrels on Youtube to calm her down of an evening.
Be prepared to spend a lot of time adjusting to how they eat , how they play etc Arwen is very petit and eats like a bird ( bit not real birds ) . You may have to play the food dance of they absolutely loved the stuff the rescue centre was feeding them and when you get them home they hate it.
The next step on the horizon will be letting Arwen go outside when we have a new cat flap put in but currently Arwen is adjusting to the house so going outside will wait till mid May.
