Not been in here for a while, excellent pictures all. And those kittens are ridiculous, I want several of them!

Everyone remember tibbs? When me and the ex split, him and Dougie were rehomed, as she couldn't handle both of them and the baby, which I understand. Wasn't possible to bring him with me, as Toby would a: kick fuck out of him, and b: potentially make him sick - Toby's an outdoor cat, tibbs was only ever vaccinated for indoor life. My younger brother (not Gav) agreed to take him, so he didn't end up going to who knows where.

Anyway. Yesterday i put a deposit down on a lease for my own place. And I intend to bring tibbs back to live with me there. Looking for opinions - Craig's had tibbs for almost as long as I ever had him (about a year each). His Mrs grudgingly agreed to take him on at the time (she's not a cat person, was scared of them since childhood), but she's kinda warmed to him now. Although, she said if/when he goes, she doesn't want another cat, so I think she still just tolerates him, rather than enjoys having him.

Am I being selfish by taking him back? He's really laid back, and I saw him recently, he definitely remembers me. I know he'll adapt to life with me quickly. It'll just be me and him though, with Cullen staying a few days/nights each week. I got him when he was the size of my fist, so I still view him as 'my cat' but am I letting what I want get in the way of what might be best for him?

Tough one. If the Mrs was keen I would've suggested leaving him, but if she's just kinda warmed to him rather than become smitten/besotted then it's a green light imo. If he's an indoor cat it won't be a huge unheaval either.

Edit: if you suggest it and they politely resist that'd be a red light though.

Sounds like delicate negotiations to be had.

Get Gav to shit on the floor and blame Tibbs.

I'm staying well out of it. I just want to clap Tibbs again.

Depends on your relationship with Craig, I reckon. If the two of you are tight enough to get past any temporary disagreement about Tibbs, then the cat goes with you. For sure. Tibbs is your cat, always has been.

If he argues, sack him.

Just say you would like him back but that you wouldn't want to fall out over it.

I'd be less firm than that.  He did you a turn taking him in, going in all Who Dares Wins might be a bit much.

Such fur.

Update.

Ah fuck. Craig went home and told his mrs i was ready to take him back. She said that she actually wants to keep him, she's more attached than she'd let on, and her boy's really attached to him as well.

Dunno what to do now.

Any of those kittens going spare?

Yeah, sounds like the cat has a good home now. Replace it with half a dozen more.

In difficult times, you found Tibbs and Dougie new homes where they're each loved and cared for. 
That's anything but a failure in my book.

Adopt another kitty!!

He's 17 months just now, so still quite young. But, there were cats and dogs in my home growing up my entire life, I don't want him to miss out on that. He recently got a wee canary at his mum's house, but that's not the same. If he's anything like me and his uncles he'll be animal daft, he loves sonny, and is really curious about toby, although Toby's scared of him and fucks off whenever he sees Cullen.
