Hello, new member here.
Have been browsing for a bit and have gained much helpful stuff for my new kitty.
Sally is 13 weeks old tonight, and is lovely. She can be a handful when I arrive home from work, especially if I have been on a long shift and been out of the house all day, but she has been home 4 weeks now so is getting used to it.
We have always had cats in the family, but this is the first of my own. I would probably would have preferred an older cat, but a friend gained some unwanted additions to his family so was tempted to home one of his kittens.
She went to the Vets 2 days ago for her second injection, and the vet said she is in fine health, which is good as she wasn't expected (or wanted) in her previous house.
Whilst play time - and "mad cat" time can be very lively, she loves cuddles, and when I am using the computer - if she is not in play mode and trying to pounce on the keyboard - she loves to sit on my chest, headbutt me, lick my nose, knead her feet and purr incredibly loudly for something her size! Bedtime is good. I work shifts, so bedtime varies each day depending on my shift, but when I go up to bed and turn the lights out it is like a switch and she just falls asleep on my bed quietly. The first week when I allowed her upstairs I had a few sleepless nights as she insisted on sitting on my head, pawing me, and purring insanely loudly - but thankfully this stage seems to have passed. Playtime in the early hours can be a pain though!
I have brought a Da Bird thingy, which she loves and clicks and chirrups at it as I wave it around the room, before eventually trying to catch it. She has plenty of toys, but my hands proved attractive when she first moved in. Thankfully this has passed too, but my legs are still proving good (and painful for me) climbing frames.
Will try and get some better pictures soon!
