They say it`s the thought that counts ?????

I arrived home after a long day of driving in torrential weather to find a new addition to the family.....
Putting it honestly I wasn`t too impressed......It is a present for Joshua from his girlfriend.....Daniel automatically fell in love with the new feline but i still have reservations about it all.....I really didn`t want to have another cat....Ours has been missing for about 3 months now (male) so there could be a slight possibility of him coming home.....
This one to make matters worse is it`s female.....

I`ve asked my son how does he intend to maintain it as he has no job to buy it`s food ect ect.....Then there is the matter of getting it desexed as there is no way I want baby kittens running all over the place....Kids, honestly they just don`t think about the bigger picture.....

It is cute though and it was trying to worm its way into my good books last night by sitting on my lap.....I`m such a sucker when it comes to animals....lol

  1. you are right about not thinking about what's involved, food, desexing etc. all of our cats were strays except my vincent (siamese). are you getting the hang of your new camera? looks like it.

    Bloody kid...He gets a new pet and already he stays out for the night and who`s looking after it????....ME!!!!

    I`m not happy at all about this.....As you may tell.....

    The camera is fun at the moment...I think i`m getting the idea of all this....Daniel naturally knows everything....11 years old mind you....lol

  3. Hi Mandy,
    I left my pet rant on your bigblog, so here I will just say that she is lovely and I am sure will be a wonderful addition to the family. The more pets, the more love, I say.

  4. Evening Mandy

    Oh dear! What can I say as I do not have children at home any more. I do remember those days!
    Megan was the worst of mine, there was always a new stray and we learned to love them all.
    I do not miss the pets at the moment, the birdlife is magnificent..
    You do have your hands full. In more ways than one..

    She is growing on me but my patience is thin i`m afraid especially as he is at the destructive age.....And it just happens to be my things she is destroying...lol

  7. Hi Mandy,
    Hubby said the other day...."NO MORE PETS"
    I remember that the last time he said in that January, we ended up baby sitting our sons white rabbit 'FLUFFY" who STILL lives with us. LOL
    Yes pets and kids......
    Hugs and rainbows Mandy
    Merry Christmas to your family

  9. I am sick to death of my daughters cat as it is my who has to clean out the litter box although she does feed it because I refuse to do that I tried to refuse to clean up after it but got sick of the smell of the tray.

  10. I know exactly what you mean Jo-anne...My husband is so angry that I`ve even allowed the cat to stay...he says I am too soft but what do you do.....

    I`ll just have to remind the son of his full duties when it comes to his pet....
