    This is our new (and only) cat Rolly which we got today from a lady on freecycle would you believe:rolleyespink: we didn't get much info about why she was giving him away but mum thinks it's probably an elderly relative who has gone in to care:cry3: he looks really well cared for and came with all his favourite toys and things:sunny: according to the previous owner he is about 7yr's old and is a house cat.

    please excuse the photo quality they were taken at night

        He looks quite settled. Will probably need a lot of fussing at that age.:thumbsup:

                  You are not allowed to put cats on freecycle in our area, how did they get away with that?

                      it's left up to the local freecycle moderators CC:WINK1: if they decide not to allow pets then no pets it is:dunno: I'm not sure but I think we got Rolly from the Southampton freecycle which allows one pet advert per an account per lifetime as they put it and then the advert has to be vetted by their "pet moderator"

                        I'm extremely tired... Rolly has been pacing up and down the stairs all night (with his new jingly collar...) and rubbing his head on everything (scent glands?) oh and purring louder then the washing machine when we come and find out why he's upset:coffee:

                            Aaaw Rolly's gorgeous Aesculus :), sure he'll settle down soon, not had much sleep either our Symba seems to think its fine to get in bed with me when its cold, well you don't have much choice he tickles your face with his whiskers meows loudly in your ear and if that doesn't work bites any visible bit of skin, then when he gets his own way he purrs loudly all night:D, he did used to sleep on the end of the bed till he fell off one night ruined his cool a bit:heehee:.
