We've found a new friend for gizmo

After 2 months of looking for the perfect friend for Gizmo, we've found her. She is a Ragdoll x. We get to pick her up on Saturday, and we hope Gizmo likes her as much as we do.

Last weekend we gave gizmo a white tiger toy almost the same size as him. He hasn't stopped wrestling with it and he even sleeps snuggling it. I think he feels like he has a friend. I really hope he and the new kitten become close friends.
We have a separate room for the kitten to begin with, and have used one of gizmo's blankets in her bed. Someone else suggested rubbing our warm socks taken straight off our feet on both cats to make our scent the dominant one. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Trying to find a friend for Gizmo

We have been looking for a friend for Gizmo for the last 2 months, but trust us to wait until it is not kitten season to look. The vet suggested that if we wanted to find a friend for Gizmo, we should get one soon as he will adjust better while he is young.

When we went to Cat Protection Society in Sydney, they suggested a kitten the same age as Gizmo or younger. Unfortunately, the only kittens they had were sick with cat flu. We have looked on rescue sites for the past 2 months and when we have found a kitten that is right, they have always just been adopted.

Last weekend we went to see some more kittens that we had seen advertised on petrescue  they are adorable kittens, but we decided they just weren't right for us and Gizmo. There were four 12 week old kittens and one 6 month old. They were a little sleepy and shy when we first got there, but gradually they started to play a little. We had a great time meeting and talking to Kerry their foster carer as well (we have asked for Kerry's permission to advertise the kittens on our blog).

Here are some pictures of the kittens that are looking for their furever homes with links to their profiles.

I really hope they find their furever homes soon.

Gizmo goes to Bora Bora

Through Gizmo's Eyes

I got invited to join my new friends in Bora Bora, so even though I just got back from my last holiday, I decided to pack my bags and go have fun...

This is me arriving in Bora Bora.

I have to thank Jans Funny Farm for helping me pack my suitcase and sending me a map, and to Gracie for inviting us all to join her.

Anyway I'm off for a swim and a cat nap in the sun, then I think I will try to meet some more furry friends...

Talk to you all when I return.

Gizmo Goes on a Holiday

Through Gizmo's Eyes

My humans had to go on a holiday overseas because one of my humans had to compete in the World Cheerleading Championships in Florida... I was a little nervous cause I had never been on a holiday before. I had to hope my humans chose a nice place for me to go with humans as nice as them.

When I arrived at my holiday, I met a nice lady who gave me cuddles straight away. I like cuddles. Then I met her kids. Her kids liked cuddles too. Then I found out she had other kitties... Yay I had some friends to play with. I don't think they liked me at first. They would hiss at me when ever I walked past. Eventually we became good friends though.

When I got there I went exploring. There were lots of exciting new smells, and comfy couches and a warm furry rug in front of a heater. My humans put my bed and things in a room of my own and showed me where it was before they let me continue exploring.

I ran around and found a giant glass window where I could look outside, and the best bit was outside was on the same level as us (at home outside is below my balcony, so I can't get down there). Only there was a giant black and tan thing guarding the door to outside. My human said it was a dog. I tried to say Hi, but it definately didn't like me. It jumped up and banged loudly on the glass, so I ran and hid behind my human.

After a little while, my human had to leave, but I didn't mind because I still had people to give me cuddles, new things to explore and other kitties to play with.

I had fun on my holiday, and I got spoilt by my holiday humans. Every night I would get put to bed in my room, but someone would always come and get me to sleep in their bed and get cuddles. I got to play with the kitties, eventually they liked me. There names were Tom and Jerry, and another holiday cat Mr Bibbs... There was always someone to cuddle or play with. Every human in the house had a lap top too, so I always had something warm to sleep on.

My human is coming to pick me up today, but my holiday human has given me some photos so I can show you how much I enjoyed my holiday.
