We're easily entertained
This is Charlie. He's the kitty a friend of ours found very sick, in a box thrown away in a trashcan by the road. They brought him to us and it was love a first sight. He keeps us laughing
OMG - what a great game. Must get my cats to play too!!! He looks amazingly like a brown burmese to me Wannabe - are you sure he was a stray?! What a find!
I tell you what Ozzi, I'm not normally a cat person, but this little fella has me completely wrapped around his paw.
Some friends of ours really did find him in a trash can near death. She brought him straight to me...guess it's well know I can't pass up a baby. He was so thin and sick.
He was so tiny, he spent the first couple of weeks in my apron pocket.
His favorite thing is going for a car ride.
and next to playing in the laundry basket, playing in the toilet is his all time favorite pastime.
Wait till he learns what the button on top of the cistern is for. One of my burmese used to push it and then rush down to play with the water as it fell into the bowl. Most disconcerting if I was using it at the time ... Charlie is one lucky puddy tat by the looks of things!!
Lovely and completely black too. Son has a completely black one called Molly, but they think she has some Maine Coon in her as she is very fluffy with short haired boots and some mottling on her sides.
Kittens are lovely, and he looks as if he does have you well wrapped round his little paw. Hope you are both happy together. Sure he gives you lots of pleasure and purrs.
Our 'black' cat was a quarter-bred Siamese. His grandmother was pure ...... there was tabby in there somehwere, when he sat in the sun the tabby markings shone through his dark chocolate brown fur. There are very rarely truely 'black' cats ;-)
THANK YOU for rescuing Charlie. He looks to be one clever Boy!
Handsome, handsome cat. And a great story too. He's a lucky lad!
awwhhh love it!! I remember when you mentioned him when you found him, poor wee soul but he's landed on his paws and I'm very glad for it!!!!
