My ‘outdoor’ cats

For those that do not know I moved into my new home King’s Bday weekend. It’s a lovely 2 bedroom house in Stratford. With it came two cats, the previous owner was moving to a non-pet friendly place in Auckland and she had two rescue kitties which were offered to me. I thought about it before saying yes as I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to take on even one cat let alone two, but after talking it through with a friend I decided to say yes. It’s their house and I thought it would be nice to let them stay somewhere familiar and also together (they are brother and sister). I was told they are outdoor cats, and that they spend over 90% of their time outdoors. Well they are now called ‘outdoor’ cats, note the quotations cos they sure spend a whole lot of time inside for outdoor cats 🤣🤣

To be fair Lulu spent some time outside in the weekend, when she was helping me out and I was outside lol. And they do sometimes disappear outside for long stretches of time. But overall, if I’m inside they are too. And if I’m sitting somewhere atlst one of them is on me if not both. 

They are very gorgeous, and love to snuggle and also play. The favourite toy at the moment is a piece of cord I found, leftover from something from Pa I think. It is hard when they both want to play and there is one on each end, it’s not that long a piece of cord and had quite a few scratches on my hand by the end of Sunday lol. It also gets challenging when they both want pats/love cos I don’t always have enough hands it feels. But overall I think we are bumbling along ok and figuring each other out. 

They don’t know it yet but they are going to become gluten free kitties cos they love me that much 😶😆 am sure they won’t mind… corse gluten free cat food is more expensive than normal cat food, and I have to buy twice as much. But this time I’ve chosen to do it so hoping it hurts a little less 🤞🏻😄

I was going to add pictures of the cuties but blogger won’t let me access photos on my phone or iPad and I don’t have my computer set up yet, and I’m also stuck and cannot move (probably most impt lol) cos both of them are on me at the moment lol. So photos shall come shortly, hopefully over the weekend once I’ve sorted out my spare room which is my office and creative space 🤩💜
