Hey guys! a few months ago, as you might remember from this thread, you guys all helped me loads with catching a wild kitten. Well, turns out we kept her! she is now about 5/6 months old, and has been to the vet a couple of times for check ups and vaccinations. she will be de-sexed next month. Her name is Helen, and she is the loveliest thing. She is very small, but the vet said that is because she missed out on lots of fairly vital nutrients as a small baby. She is friends with our puppy and goat, but does harass the budgies, guinea-pig ducks and chickens a bit, but has made no moves to actually kill them, which is good! She has also caught 3 mice so far, possibly more! She even gets along with our very old dog Fizz. She loves to sleep on my bed and get very purry when you scratch under her chin. She is quite fiesty sometimes to, and will not hesitate to put her teeth on your skin (but not really bite) if you annoy her. she doesn't really use her claws. WE feed her raw Jimbo's cat meat, canned food, cat roll, fresh chicken hearts (from the supermarket) fresh fish and buiscuits.  Anyway, thank you all so much for your help all those months ago, we wouldn't be blessed with such a darling cat now if it wasn't for you guys. 
Here she is in a deep sleep on my bed a few days ago


Here she is staring intently at the puppy George


what a little poser, I say!


Helen curled up on my bed like a lil' cutie

What a great update.



So, you fell in love with her after all. It's very hard to let fosters go, isn't it? She's adorable, congratulations to you and Helen on finding each other.

>> Black cats rule!

When I was a kid my family had a black cat named Vicious. She definitely lived up to that name. Our family dog knew to keep his distance after one or two run-ins. Vicious 'ruled' the house and likely the neighborhood. She was OK with us kids though, just other animals. I watched Vicious jump on the back of a full grown German Shepherd  and ride it out of the neighborhood like it was a horse and rider. It literally rode that dog till it was out of sight. Poor dog was on a leash but made the big mistake of barking at the cat. The dog's owners never walked their dog by our place ever again.
