We have a provsional name last night we saw Jon Bonnamassa with Black

Jethro Tull one of the finest rock moments in my life! So Bonnie short
for Bonnamassa anyone?


What do you think?

Bonny sounds nice to me. I wouldn't jump to "sick" from her actions -
kittens sleep even more than grown cats, and she's had an exciting and
strenuous day both physically and emotionally. She's probably very
intimidated by Sarsi - an unknown and very huge, to her, cat.

Sorry, that should have been Bonnie, not Bonny. I guess I was thinking
Bunny - or, as usual, not thinking at all.

If I can find her we had the carrier gate open to let her come out
in her own time when we decided we should at least pick her up she
wasn't in the carrier Dave found her behind the hi fi but by the time
he's found her she's gone elsewhere to be honest she's in here
somewhere I've named her but right now I don't know where she is

Well that was fun!! I think we can take it she's healthy-it took
about 20-30 minutes before she was lured back in the house after she
did a runner over the fence when I came in and sat down in the back
garden next door so we traipsed through the house next door me and 3
boys (I get the impression they would have liked to keep her but
they're keeping the other kitten in the litter) got within 3 feet of
her and with amazing speed (I'd forgotten just how fast kittens can
be) she whipped round and ran into a gap between the fence and the
shed wide enough for a kitten but not even a skinny person could have
got in there and just long enough that she couldn't be grabbed. So we
had to play the waiting game I was outside chatting to the cab driver
with my up on the carrier, a couple of times someone came out to give
me a progress report along the lines of "You;ll have to keep waiting"
in fact I'd just told the driver if nothing happened within 10 minutes
I was giving up and was texting Adrian on FaceBook got as far as
"Haven't caught " when one of the kids came out and said she'd been
lured back in so I grabbed the carrier and went back in opened the
carrier gate and one of the kids managed to get her in there- the look
she gave the kid suggested she was memorising his face for revenge
purposes later-and I slammed the gate and we were off.....She sat in
the carrier looking quite scared.

We made a conscious decision from the start of all this- we're not
making a BIG THING about it- Sarsi's lost her sisfur less than a month
ago- the last thing we want to do is spend hours cooing and fussing
over a kitten- she might feel she's being replaced also it's a big
adventure for a small kitten so we prefer to let her settle down at
her own pace. So sorry you'll all have to wait for pics

She's been here about half an hour, Sarsi paced round the carrier
several times sniffing at it then looked in at the kitten- she hasn't
made any aggressive moves just curious ones and now the kitten is at
the front of the carrier and they're both looking at each other but
it's not agressive staring on either side.

I haven't even held her yet I'm thinking she's a little older than 10
weeks as her eyes have changed colour- they're a lovely gold and if
she is 10 weeks she's going to be a big cat. We haven;t got a name
for her yet even

Anyway once again I sign myself

Ooooo!! I'm so excited! Can't wait until she and Sarsi start interacting
more directly. Seems promising so far.

But I'll bet Dunzi is chortling to herself at the RB this very minute
for having sent you another escape artist.

Congrats on the new addition. And the additional 's', where it belongs!

Well here we are......

I put a dish of tuna kitten food in with her- she didn't seem to know
what it was at first but she's eaten a few mouthfuls then curled up on
the towels in the carrier and commenced napping. Sarsi is asleep in
the bedroom- business as usual she's being very good about this- she
slept by the carrier for a bit and they've almost sniffed each other,
A little later we're going to take the carrier to the bathroom and
open it but shut the door- give her half an hour or so to explore
quietly and use the litter box (we hope they said she was litter
trained then again I've had cats (Sarsi and Dunzi for example) who
were brought up outside and used litter straight off) then we'll open
the bathroom door and let her explore at her own pace. Dave says "What
if she hides under the sofa and we can't get her out?" I say fine I
know there's nothing much under there apart from Dunzi's nest so it'll
be a safe place for her to sleep and she'll come out in her own time
when she;s hungry

So sorry everyone photos will come once she's settled in, been stroked
and inspected and possibly named.....

You're absolutely right to wait for the photos. Making both cats feel
comfortable and relaxed with the new situation comes way before our desire
to see pictures.

In the meanwhile, perhaps a description of her appearance?


She is a black & white tuxedo, Lesley posted a link to her
gumtree photo .

I hadn't thought of that!

Well her first night- at some point she went to the bedroom and we
heard a few cries from somewhere near the wardrobe then everyone went
to sleep. I've heard nothing this morning but Dave assures me he's
heard rustling and one meep for under the sofa. There's a small poop
in the tray, which Dave thinks is too small for Sarsi to have done it
especially as the bigger litter box this morning contained a large
offering (Sarsi likes to kick litter around so her box is very high
sided- not sure Bonnie could even get into it). I have to go to a
funeral now so I am hoping when the nasty woman wot took her from her
mum is gone she might come out (She jumped on the bed last night to
meet Dave but did a runner when he said hello to her) and meet Dave.
She has food and a small water dish and the carrier is still there if
she needs a bolt hole

Oh, so glad to hear this. Furballs need other furballs. The problem
that I have is holding the count down.

We're starting to panic here apart from some rustling that suggested
she's under the sofa a few hours back....nothing. Sarsi went under
the sofa just now very slowly then backed out and I have looked but
can't see her under there although she may have moved when Sarsi went
up to her but we didn't hear anything. We're not even sure she's alive
under there what if she's died? But we don't want to try and flush
her out of anything if she's timid- the occasional meep would go a
long way to us feeling happier about this as Dave says kittens are
inquisitive little things so where is she? So far as I know she
hasn't touched her breakfast
