That's great Anna!

Well I'm off downstairs to pack up Shell's goodies and then I'm off over to the Metro Centre in Gateshead for most of the day!

The first few nights she was so excited jumping on beds, knocking stuff off shelves and talking away too. She is settling down nicely now which is good. x

lol bless her she was just so happy to be in a new home

Always busy Eileen! You are like a whirlwind

Well, more eye testing and lunching than shopping.

My shopping buddy - Wednesday Anne - is away on holiday for 2 weeks, so I've got a break from the shopping!!

I wonder if someone can give me some advice.
I am interested in buying a Maine Coon kitten. I have been doing my research for a while now, I know there are a few breeders local to me but I have been approached by someone who has a gorgeous blue tortie tabby that I love. She says she is registered and I have checked her prefix on GCCF and it is a registered prefix but is there anyway I can check she is who she says she is?
The reason I ask is there is a notice on a local breeders website that one of her kittens was rehomed without her knowledge and is being bred by an unregistered breeder and I don't want to end up with a cat with problems.
Like I say she has given me a registered prefix but I could just as easily do the same, I can't find any details of the person who breeds under the prefix.
I hope that made sense. I said prefix a lot.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe contact the GCCF and ask their advice.
Try putting the persons name into google and it should bring up information about them including any cats they have shown etc
Eileen will be back on here later and is a fountain of knowledge about things like this

I, too, am after a bit of advice today *lol* Louis has a scab on the back of his neck and I am almost positive Kallie is doing it. She is a bit obsessed with grooming her men (Gary included) and really gets into it, using her front teeth. Lou came in to me yesterday and the spot was quite wet and there's no way he could have done that himself. Any ideas on how to stop her?

I've tried searching her name and area, and the prefix.
The only hits I get are on the prefix and that is the GCCF registered prefix page
I was thinking of contacting the GCCF and asking if they could confirm her details.
Maybe I will just give it a miss and wait for one of the breeders I can find info on to get a blue.
