I haven't brought this topic up before as I wasn't sure how owning cats would go down on a hamster forum
But as I have let the cat out of the bag so to speak on another thread, here are the other two members of the household!
Here is Precious-cat (the name is hyphenated
) We went all the way down to Bedfordshire 2 years ago to pick her up. She had been left for many months in a rescue whilst all the other cats were taken, because she was as described to me "boring black & white"
and because she was extremely timid and frightened of human contact.
This was not really surprising as a police officer had brought her in as she had been found in a London drug den when it was raided. She has many old injuries that were never treated by a vet including her tail which has 3 separate breaks and her back which the vet says may have been due to her being kicked.
When we got her she hid under the tv cabinet for 6 weeks and we never saw her but her food would disappear over night. I spent many a night sat next to the TV cabinet reading her stories and nursery rhymes to get her used to my voice - good job no one but OH saw me!
She is now the loveliest, cuddliest, affectionate cat you could ever wish for
This is Zhukov - he is a Russian Blue, who came to us via a family who wanted rid due to allergy. He was extremely ill when we got him and everyone wondered whether he would make his first birthday, we and the vet thought he had leukemia, however £450 and 2 months later we discovered he had severe food allergies. We were able to deal with these and he is now an extremely! lively young cat
Not hamsters I know but the felines were feeling left out
Hope I can still have another hammy, now I've owned up
