I’m with Tricky. New cat after a period of mourning. Won’t be the same but different in a good way.
There's 3 candidates up for adoption:
'Moses': Wrongly named as a boy when she is actually female. Dumped at the rescue centre. She's a gorgeous grey and white tabby and craves attention - she tugs at your hand if you stop petting her. No idea as to her background. Aged 4 approx. She'll would be a handful. Looks like she might have a home anyway. 'Guinness': Black cat. Left to his own devices by a cba family. Roamed the streets for a while. Probably enough street cred to live here. Except he is shy and we won't know how long it will take to bring him into the fold because that initial period would be crucial. 'Buster': A 4-5 yr old black and white bruiser who has an interesting history. Micro-chipped in Lincoln and found his way/was brought to Dumfries and Galloway. Roamed for a while before being trapped. He's certainly got character.
The plan is to visit them regularly and get to know them. It's part of the Cats protection process anyway.
...and the curve ball: Meet 'Molly'. A £450 Maine coone cross kitten. Very homely and gentle cats Maine coons.
tabby, because they can play ping pong, and all the others too, because they are cats
That's ^ just wrong (even though I know your post isn't serious). You can rehabilitate and breed big cats for repatriation (and that's the only time it's justifiable) but that process is very difficult. Hunting instincts are severely compromised in domestic situations. Much better they are in protected wildlife areas.
A tiger cub is probably quite fun, a full sized hangry/horny one less so - in addition to the moral issues.
Not a cat person me, but there is this young black cat appeared recently, I assume a nearby house is the non-reg domicile. I name him/her ChancerCat. Adept at walking along and/or sitting on narrow fence tops, def inquisitive, agile as in up and over 2m fences no probs, GTF out of my open garage, etc. Gotta respec' ChancerCat.
My neighbours have a couple of cats between them and they play taunt the dog. Our staffy hates them as there always teasing him. One day he will catch one, he probably won't know what to do with it mind. Probably lack it to death.
