Okay, I finaly succumbed...

There is 15lbs of cat licking the anthricite in the coal bucket.

I didn't set out this morning to get a cat but I was sort of hanging out on the RSPCA websites and sort of went to just have a look at him.
And sort of came home with him.

He's, well, grey and tabby and overweight.

I think he's going to be called Nero but I've called him Spookie twice now, so, like Peeko - my elderly friend's Scottie - he may end up being Spookie MkII by default (they were on Peeko III when I knew them).

He bit me earlier, my own fault for scaring him, but I think he will be fine.
He's a very fine cat.

found it by googling on Cats Protection Cheshire, whole list of sites with piccies. Pushers. I didn't need a site visit as the lady I got him off has known me all my life, we had a good talk about my Gran and Grandad and my Dad (and my vet nurse, Maxine who I was at school with) etc etc.

He's 18 months old and, ahem, big boned.

He's nervious of me when I stand up and bit my hand earlier when I spooked him, he has a dislocating back hip, I might have touched it wrong.

He came with his own scratching post, cat litter portaloo, cat bed and toy dog (which he apparently takes to bed with him every night, no matter where you put it in the room) I saw how soft he was with the carer at the cattery and he'd been there for two weeks, once he settles he will be fine.

Finger less sore now I have dosed it with Dettol.

poor thing, cat that is. and hope your finger recovers. He takes his toy to bed every night? That is the cutest cat thing I've heard in ages.
Have just spent last 20 minutes looking at our local cats protection website, rspca one less useful. Sigh.
Not that shadow isn't enough cat for any sane person, you understand.
btw, if you have a moment, go have a look at the 2nd website I posted, the serafini one. Amazing stuff.

finger will be fine, I've been mauled by a cat before. Typing is fun though.

He's just killed a pheasant feather, must get him some dangly toys, I'd forgotten how playful young cats can be.
