Dine was recommended and we had 4 little tins left over from Precious. Tonight I intend to give Candy just a tablespoon full and see how she goes. She does seem to enjoy ONE furball biscuits but not Fancy Feast biscuits. It's all trial and error for a while but we are delighted she used her tray. I had no litter so shredded some newspaper as soon as we got her home but Karen is going to bring down some clumping crystals so she told me. I am sure we will get a visit from her very soon as he fell in love with Candy just from her photo.<br />Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-56171892286837325872014-08-08T18:23:21.151+08:002014-08-08T18:23:21.151+08:00Thanks Rose.

She will sit on a chair or on the window sill and keep purring even though we are on the other side of the room.<br />I think you maybe right about rescue cats purring so loud, out of sheer happiness at being chosen to have a home of their own.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-64065599444215364302014-08-08T18:21:01.078+08:002014-08-08T18:21:01.078+08:00Thank you Susan.

I think you were right...She's beautiful Mimsie! I think you were right not to choose Russell, at eight months he would be far too frisky. Angel is eight months now and still streaks around at the speed of light when he needs to burn off energy. He only purrs when he comes to the computer for his daily cuddle though and when he is on my pillow at night going to sleep. It's lovely to hear of Candy purring as she goes about the house. <br />I found Angel didn't like the Dine cat food, and Whiskas gave him smelly breath, so now I have him on Fancy Feast wet food and Friskies dry food. He still has fishy breath straight after eating, but not hours later as he did with the Whiskas wet food. It got so bad I would turn away if he yawned while next to me. <br />Please give Candy a welcome hug from me.

Oh my, you make me sigh...<br /><br />Calico is the American term for what in UK (and, I thought, in OZ) we know as 'tortoiseshell', which requires that the coat be tri-coloured.
