you're all right ,i think the cat chooses you and not the other way round.the same thing has happened with our 3 previous cats and the same with my mums, karen

Hi, Karen - don't worry, it's waiting for you somewhere - you just don't know where it is at the moment! We've just taken on our 5th rescue cat (we originally only had 2), a beautiful little tortoiseshell female who looks about 8 months old. We'd fostered her for 4 weeks while we were waiting for her owners to claim her, but that didn't happen. So the RSPCA and CPL gave their blessing for us to have her. Now she is our little Topsy, who's joined Chloe, Midge, Pepper and Sooty in the Laird feline clan. Luckily, they all get on OK. Be patient - and when you get Puss, give him/her/them a hug from me! Ta! Glenys x

mel, dogs also need walking too and i'm afraid i've done my fair share of poo scooping with the children. its just a sign that the right cat wasn't there but waiting somewhere else, karen

The cats were either reserved or not allowed in your area. Isn't that a sign?? What about a cute little puppy or dog? They need homes too, Mel:-)

thanks lisa, i'm sure you're right

good luck karen.don't give up .the cat that you want you'll know is the right onexxxx(:

Christine, 11th aug is not a good day for me either,my eldest daughter was taken into hospital with meningitis that day 1997,and i stayed indoors when the eclipse happened,i don't know why but i had a bad feeling about it,everyone thought i was mad!! (and they're right) i'm sure the right cat will come along,its my eldest thats been on about getting another cat(it'll be 1yr in nov) but i've not been so sure but recently i've softened, karen

This brings back memories for me, we tried to home a new cat, but was advised to wait for a year, I was heartbroken after having our previous cat put down, (always remember that day 11th aug, year of eclipse!). We eventually managed, with all thanks going to Wood Green Shelter, at Huntingdon, Cambs. We have a lovely black and white boy, called Nelson, due to patch on eye!. I wish you luck, am sure you will have one with you shortly, Here's hoping..

Sometimes the Cat Protection league are on there own, infact they always used to be when l lived in Sussex. We got our old moggy from simular in Goring-by-sea,nr Worthing.

Jude, i'm in Portsmouth so Shoreham isn't too far away,if i don't hear anything from the one we called yesterday i call the CPL, thanks, Karen

Karen - where on the coast are you - have you looked up Cats Protecion League - The Dogs trust in Evesham (Worcestershire)has a connection with it, don't know if the one in Shoreham has??? Good luck though:o) Jude sarf wales

HI KAREN good luck with your search, i hope the other place has one for you to take home and love, i'm sure you will find a cat quickly all the best sandra

well i said i'd keep you updated, paul and i went along yesterday,armed with tissues,and the first cat we saw was the spitting image of kizzy which started me off straight away, anyway most of the cats that were there were already reserved for homes(which is good)and the ones that weren't couldn't be homed in our area. so we are now waiting for a call from another rescue place although we phoned yesterday afternoon and still haven't had a reply, keep you posted, karen
