She arrived whilst I was in UK and decided to stay. She was spayed recently and settling in nicely.

As you know I am not really a cat lover, but Sofi is beautiful .

Clearly she has made herself very much at home.

If a cat adopted me I'd be honoured, and love it, but I'd never adopt a cat, if you get my meaning.


I hope you have a lovely long period of mutual companionship!

Now that is one very relaxed cat

May you have many years together.

Sofi is just the latest of many cats that have taken up residence with me. In the 6 years I've lived here, she's the 19th. All females have been spayed and all males neutered.

I have 7 left but she's the only one that's allowed in the house. Pepe is my oldest resident at 5 years old but although he was neutered at a very early age he can't resist the urge to 'mark' everywhere, so he's banned unless there is a willing lap, then he's fine.

All of the others are outdoor cats, summer and winter.

Of those I've lost, I know the fate of only 4 of them. The others have just gone away never to be seen again. I hope they've just moved on to pastures new but one of the 4 I know was killed during an attack by three dogs. Most distressing as I saw it all and couldn't get to her fast enough to do any good. She died on the way to the vet.

Pepe's brother Izzy died of a suspected heart attack at only 9 months old, Dice contracted FLV from a bite from another cat, and Leo succumbed to the wounds he suffered in a fight with another cat.

I really don't think I could cope with all that heartbreak

I hope that Sofi settles well to her new life

We have been acquired by cat, Tom comes in, takes residence and then saunters off when he's ready. I am really a dog person but with both of us working all hours of the day it would be inconsiderate to have a pet, but to have Tom come in from time to time just takes our minds off other things...

Sofi is beautiful, she looks like she has a pedigree? Nice to see her.

Not a pedigree as far as I know. I think she may have some Siamese in her because she's very vocal and has gorgeous blue eyes. The rest of her is common or garden tabby I think.

she is gorgeous, and as we know both the digital camera and the internet were invented for the sharing of pictures of cats, so well done!

but it does help
