I've got a real urge to have a cat again once we move!!! I watch the pictures on FB and absolutely long for one. Or two., but OH is not that happy with the idea.

He's lovely and what good fun that game is! I could adapt that for Eva!

I don't think I could foster either - I'm sure I'd want to keep every animal I had! Well done, BL - it can make all the difference to a homeless animal.

Up to now I have had older quieter cats that have not interacted a great deal but Shadow is only five months old and ultra affectionate, head butting and purring and glued to my lap. This one is going to be hard to part with I think. She is a lot of fun.

BL - I look into my crystal ball and I see a little black kitten who has wormed his way into your heart, and found a forever home. xx

It's a difficult call Daisy as I am always aware that if I keep one then I cannot foster any more needy ones in the future. CP never mix rescue cats with owned cats. Some fosterers have cat cabins in their garden but I have never wanted to do that. I like my foster cats in the house with me. Shadow is so cute though

Slightly off topic but I feel the same about having Guide dog puppies in their first few months to socialise and prepare them for later training. I have considered this in the past but know I would be heart-broken to give them up. We know someone who does this and I admire her. Her Christmas card is always signed by her and a different puppy's name.

BL - yes, I take your point, and I know when we adopted Eva many of the other 'residents' were fostered for various reasons. I don't know if fosterers had resident animals as well - I think some of them did. I presume there's a good reason for not mixing resident and fostered cats. My cousin was very involved with cat rescue in London, and she had luxurious heated cat cabins - but most of her ever-changing population of cats lived in the house with her. She sometimes had up to 30. When she became ill she gradually got most of them rehomed but at the time of her death there were still 4 at her house. Her friends came to feed and care for them every day until they were found the right homes because she didn't want them to have any more disruption than necessary.

Clover - I would be the same. It would be too hard to give up a puppy you had taken into your home and your heart.
