    Number of cats in household doubled on Saturday through kitten adoption. Currently have six moggies. Will drop to four when we move, taking four and leaving two with the house-owner (...because they're her cats, and otherwise it would be rude. :D).

    A solitary hamster called Teddy. We'd love some dogs and cats, but are planning to move to Oz in a few years and couldn't bear to put animals through quarantine :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,658 ✭✭✭✭The Sweeper


    mike, I think the quarantine requirements at the Oz end are only a month.

    You have to get your pet passport organised and work with your local vet before travel, and then they keep the dogs for four weeks at the Oz end. My housemate did it two years ago with her two JRXs. They looked great when they got out of quarantine. They were glossy, well padded and quite cheerful.

    The more difficult part, however, is transport itself. Finding a carrier to take your dog is very difficult - you may end up spending thousands shipping them through a specialist pet-shipping company.

    Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I'll just stick it in here.

    I am SOOOO PLEASED. :)

    Our two new tabby kittens, Hahn and Turbo-Diesel, who are both 10 weeks old, have been introduced to our two adult cats, Frank and Eric. The adults are both neutered boys and are just under two years old. One of them is at the larger end of the domestic cat size - Frank tips the scales at nearly 6 kilos (almost a stone in weight) and I was worried that he could do some serious damage if he took against the kittens.

    Kittens came home Saturday and we very carefully followed all the best introduction theories. Kittens went into upstairs bathroom. Cats were spoiled rotten. Cats were allowed to smell transport crate kittens came in. Initial introductions took place under the bathroom door.

    There have been a few controlled face-to-face introductions where we allowed one kitten at a time to meet one adult cat. There was the standard hissing that was to be expected.

    Yesterday evening we allowed both cats and both kittens the run of the living room for about 90 minutes. There is still a bit of hissing from Frank, and the very occasional swipe, but he's not openly aggressive and isn't inflating his fur at all. He's more suspiciously interested than upset or aggressive. Eric, who has a kitten complex himself, was playing tip-chasing with the kittens within half an hour. (He's easily six times the size of the little tabby girl, so it's hysterical to watch him running away from her, burbling his head off like R2D2).

    I can't believe it's only taken three to four days to get to the stage where we could let them out together in the living room. It's often far more difficult and the introduction stage can take months and months. For example, we have six cats in the house at the moment - our two kittens and two adults, and my housemate's cat and kitten. Her cat and kitten are a different story. Her adult cat hates the kittens, shows open aggression, hissing, spitting, fur on end, and goes for them. I've no idea how she's going to sort them out - just give it a lot more time I suppose - but I'm just busy being pleased that success to date bodes very well for a happy household of cats when we move house in a few weeks and it's just our four!

    (Ha - once they get over the move, that is, but that's another drama.)

    Have a 13 year old lab-retriever and a 4 year old lab-collie cross. Cant wait to move out to my own gaff, so I can start my own collection. The GF and I are big animal fanatics, in particular dogs and birds, so fully expect to have a cockatoo/african grey/yellow naped amazonian (depends on which one of us wins the battle!) and 2 doggies . A husky initially, and then a rescue doggie.
    All planned out!:D:D:D
