I agree with you about the not paying money for a kitteh but it may be 'ok' to part with a little bit of cash. At times when 'buying' a kitten from a family whose not yet spayed kitty got knocked up are vet visits, vaccines, and covering the costs of some food.

Celia Hammond are where our lovely sisters came from, they love each others company and I think it's great how the charity focus on rehousing pairs. Cats are so much happier living with a sibling, from eXperience.


Always best to give a home to rescue cats than from people who may well be breeding for profit imho.

I found a wing in the kitchen yesterday and my fat, smug looking cat asleep on the stairs. It wouldn't/couldn't tackle a full grown crow or a jay of course, it would get its hairy arse kicked, and that I would pay to see. No, it murders fledglings and then parades around the place like a courageous hunter.


Don't do it

As much as I love my two cats I agree that they can be right pieces of s**t. They see a fly they tear the house down. Couple of little mice came in, they got shredded to bits. Then this big a** spider showed up in the bath. So I did what any many would do, I went to fetch the cats. First one jumped right out. The second cat looked at the spider, walked up to it, sniffed it, looked back at me, meowed 'nope' and jumped out ouf the tub.

Fair observation. Suppose the cats make themselves scarce as soon as they hear the vacuum cleaner as they fear there's a 12 inch arachnid thirsty for feline blood lurking around the house. :D

    • On the matter of gender, raised early in the thread There were a couple of male tailors in the area, first generation Carribbean, I think there was a time when many emigrated with these skills  Go back 60 years and you may have had a suit made by a Jewish male tailer in the East End  Not sure if it is common to have males in this field of work nowadays although I expect Saville Row is still male dominated.    
    • I was at Brockwell Park greenhouses very recently, they don't have any plants for sale which are suitable for my purpose (though that's not why I went there). I'd be very surprised if the Marsden Road place did either, as I need a fairly large prickly shrub! Thanks, I used the term nursery a bit too loosely, sorry. I did mean including garden centres. Your post is useful, thanks.  I'm not looking for anything unusual though, just a prickly shrub to deter cats! Much as I love unusual plants, I only have a very small garden. Many of my plants (some unusual and some I had had for years) have disappeared due to wood  pigeons trampling everything under my bird feeders in their quest to eat anything edible dropped by smaller birds using the feeders 😭 
    • If you mean proper nurseries where they grow plants and not just garden centres there are several on Woodmansterne Lane just south of Wallington. I prefer going there as you get a lot of plants you don't see in garden centres. The two I go to most often are Flittons https://www.flittons.com/ and Barnes https://www.barnesnurseries.co.uk/. There are a few others on the same road and a large Dobbies if you want a garden centre that sells other things.
    • Went to Nunhead Gardener this week.  Very good selection of healthy plants, indoor and out.
