What an exciting start to the New Year!
Daughter has talking about getting a kitten. She loves rats so much, but they have such short little lives it upsets her, so hasn't replaced.
Browsed the internet last night, trip to Sussex to view today (with a side trip to Pets At Home for supplies), and little Louie is now one of the family. He is a real cutie and could purr for Britain! Took a real shine to my TV shelves, computer lead and small Christmas tree. She has now taken him to her home to get him settled in. I am deputed to go and check on him during the morning tomorrow as she is back at work (yay!) she is popping home to see him lunchtime and then will be home early to spend the weekend with him.
Aww - he's so lovely XXXXXX

Awwww, he is gorgeous, what an exciting start to the new year. I'm beginning to think a puppy or a kitten would be a lot easier than a three year old grandson! Tonight is night three and both my husband and I are visibly tiring, even with my daughter staying with us and being the main carer each morning.
Welcome to little Louie, I hope you will all be very happy together.
 
Thanks, yes he is sweet. I couldn't have one again myself, but will be happy to help out whenever and get my cuddle fix that way!
Luckily she didn't find it too hard to choose him - but all kittens are cute and the remaining ones, pure white; ginger tabby and white, and same colouring as Louie but with much more white were all lovely as well. However he stood out with his pretty markings and he looked quite self assured and determined. They were only advertised yesterday. 2 kittens had already gone, and more interested parties were arriving after us, so I think they will all be snapped up very soon.
Hope he sleeps well tonight in his new home and doesn't miss his littermates too much. Bless his little white socks.

@dogwheels. . Chis the kitty Louie is adorable. The only problem I had with kitty is litter box training. Baby kitty would hide under my bed in same spot. Had to keep a tiny box with litter next to my bed she didn't know how to use one and I would find lots if surprises under bed.so I just kept putting her in it. I'm not the best cat mommy always had dogs, but she adapted well, 7 years later she still hides under bed but sleeps on my right shoulder cute, but then I can't move all night. 2 years ago I had to get her declawed I landed up with cat scratch disease. Happy happy new year!!!

@susanne - just received last night's kitten report from my daughter - and all well. Louie got a goodnight's sleep - unlike my daughter who was checking on him constantly through the night, only to find him asleep each time!
He has used his tray, so far with no slip ups, even when we first arrived back here after picking him up - so he is a good boy. Evidently he's munched on his kitten chow and drunk some kitten milk and is full of playful fun this morning. I am looking forward to swinging by her place to check he is OK later this morning. Daughter is ringing the vet later today to get vaccinations, insurance, neutering and a check over sorted. She knows the vets so well and it will be a novelty for them to have her bring in a kitten instead of a rat!

Hope your New Year's celebrations were good and 2015 is a much better one for you.
Much love

What a cutie. I'm definitely a cat person. Unfortunately I'm a bit allergic. :(
You're coming up on a year for your knee, aren't you?
 
Oh Chris that's so exciting, he's adorable. I wouldn't be able to stop playing and fussing him. Oh he's so cute x x x it's given you a real boost as well by the looks of it. You seem so excited. Oh kitten watch, I'll look forward to your report x x

I wish you a great 2015 xxx
 
Hello @kneeper - what a shame that you have cat allergies.
Louie is really sweet - but I think it must be just like Grandkids, you love them to bits but are pleased to eventually hand them back. This way I get all the good bits and not so much of the bad (tee hee).

Yes, my knee will be a year old soon. At the outset my OS who had been treating me for some time, said he would do what he could, but 28 years with an incomplete and arthritic joint had messed things up big time. He warned that I was never going to be a poster child for knee replacement!
However this new knee has surpassed all my expectations and it just gets better and stronger. There is just one little spot where it stiffens up once in a while, but I just get on with things and it soon passes. Family and friends are amazed and so pleased at how this has made such an obvious and huge improvement to my life.
Through the Summer and Autumn the knee was doing exactly what it should do and I was already delighted, but in these last few weeks the improvement and way it feels so totally normal, has been incredible. Not only movement wise - walking reasonable distances, running up and down stairs, not needing to hold the bannister, standing for really long periods, even climbing up and down ladders, but also on a lighter note I am delighted to be wearing heels, skinny jeans look normal, my long boots do up again and even better than before! It's brilliant.

I was gutted when the bleed I had in the joint at 6 weeks removed all my bend in minutes, and I had to work hard both physically and mentally to regain the flexion and strength - but it has all come good in the end. I wish I could tell others with similarly disappointing setbacks that things do get better - the important thing is a positive attitude.

Having read so many stories of others on here who have not had such good outcomes it makes me so very thankful for what I have.

How are you doing with Knee #2? I so hope that things are progressing satisfactorily.

Hi @Dabber - Happy New Year to you too.
Did you have a good time in Budapest? I know it was a while ago now.
Hope things are going OK for you and wish you a happy and healthy 2015.

Oh Chris

I'm going to be like you this year once I'm sorted. He thought if nipping up and downstairs fills me with glee instead if oh no the wretched stairs. What a lovely inspirational post

All my love Ann x x x x
 
Hi @dogwheels Wishing you a Happy New Year hope it is wonderful. I just stopped by to see how you were doing and so happy to see your little Louie He is adorable and brings back memories of ours when they were tiny they have so much energy and more enjoyable then watching television they are so funny the way they play. Just so busy then they fall asleep it is a nice thing your daughter found him and he will be such nice company for her to.

Cats are so smart and he will do fine with his box. So amazed when we brought Oscar and Elizabeth home they went right to the box, knew how things worked so tiny. Lots of hours of fun seeing them on their adventures. Then brought home Katie and Emily to and funny how Oscar and Elizabeth took care of the little ones they knew they needed help so they helped them. The little ones were not always as happy as when they did something they knew they shouldn't Oscar let them know not to do it.


Great your knee is having its one year birthday and so good that all worked out so nice for your knee and you. The start to a new year how fast the past year has gone hoping this year will be less stressful. Like your saying said a new clean slate and the possibilities are endless hoping it is a wonderful year and knowing it has had a good start. All the best to you and your family and little Louie Holly
 
Wow--running up and down stairs! Great report. It's great to hear that even though you had a rough patch everything turned out great.
My knee #2 isn't quite letting me run up and down stairs yet (or maybe it's the rest of me that's the issue ;) ), but I can go up and down only using the railing for balance/security. It's a little twingy today--maybe from the cold and damp with shoveling snow. But hey, I can shovel snow without agony. I'm to the point where I really don't think about it much. Unless it's to admire it. :loll:Thanks for asking @dogwheels
