🐈‍⬛ Introducing Our Two New Residents

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

After losing our two cats almost in their almsot-mid-twenties last year, we decided it was time to have a look to see if we could make space for a couple more so we went to a local rescue.

Welcome Shirley (top one) and Ted! They're brother and sister from consecutive litters, 2yrs old and were rescued together. So far they're super sweet! Hopefully here's to many more happy years together.
Also, Ted is an absolute brute at 5.6kg!!

Aw they are beautiful. Are they Maine Coons?

I have two elderly house cats and have decided I won’t have any more after they leave me but I’m going to foster for my local cat rescue.

Cracking cats!

Beautiful ❤

Aw they are beautiful. Are they Maine Coons?

We're not sure, the rescue said they're part ragdoll but I definitely don't think they are. Probably just long haired tabby accidental breedings

The floof!!

I'd be interested to know if there was forest cat in there

 

[Snow Falcon]

Very pretty cats.

 

[Noble]

Really beautiful cats, I think I may have 2 uber brutes at 8kgs each!

 

[Maxidoodle]

They are beautiful, I would suspect there is some Norwegian Forest in there, they certainly look it. It can be really deceptive with weight, My lovely girl who I just lost was 5.4kgs and our 2yr old Danish cat is 7.4kgs, I had better post a photo, as he is a whopper (our other boy who we lost in 2020 was 7.6kgs and part Maine coon).

Here’s all 7.4kgs of Max.

 

[Kunoichi73]

FLOOFY! They're both gorgeous!

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Thanks all, my only stipulation this time around was I didn't want long haired as I don't want all my work clothes to be caked in hair... whoops! Always the way isn't it!

Having given it a google I can definitely see the resemblance now to the Forest Cat. Perhaps I'll do one of those DNA things on them

 

[julesjoy]

Wow! They look very majestic. Welcome to your new home pusscats.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

We had a Moggy we suspected of being at least part forest cat - she was an indoor cat but would go out under supervision

She would sit out in the rain and barely notice it, when you parted the upper fur the bottom layer would be bone dry!

She was wonderfully chatty too, you could have conversations with her, the most endearing noises she made were the prook or the chirp

She was very partial to a spoonful of custard or ice cream, or a piece of roast beef - if she smelt it or heard the bowl she'd sit at the entrance to the kitchen quivering in anticipation

Yours do look very forest cat like so it would be really interesting to see the results of any DNA test, I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least a bit in there

 

[Shady]

Oh wow they are really lovely
Yes I see Forest cat too
Lucky cats, and I wish you years of happiness together. x
