Likes: Hiding under covers or anywhere dark like a little kid. E.g going inside the wardrobe, cupboards, boxes. Climbing on shelves and wardrobes. Eating biscuits. Drinking ceral milk when I'm not looking. Playing and fighting with her sister.
Pet-Peeves: Not being allowed in wardrobes, the bathroom (she pushes the door open to get in), or out in the garden. (She learn't to miaow from chirping due to this a few weeks ago). Also when its time to come back in from the garden after supervised play time.
Favorite Toy: Likes her curtain hoops on elastic and her cat nip mouse. Current fave is hair bobbles. All my hair bobbles are now dirty an mangled on the floor in various parts of the house. Also she is always finding screws and bits of metal (not good).
Favorite Nap Spot: Tables, Wardrobes, Under the computer desk and on. Our knees. On the landing. Oh and now the sink in the bathroom!!!??? So funny!
Favorite Food: Whiskers Kitten Biscuits, Go Cat Kitten, Pets at home Salmon kitten bic's, James Wellbeloved various flavour bic's. Bic's is all she'll eat! She also loves her water and our food when she sneekily gets hold of it!
Skills: Looking extra adorable? Does that count? Also she make a serious funny clicking sound when she's hunting flies like a Velociraptor dinosaur on Jurrassic park! So funny!

Arrival Story: Pixie came to officially live with my partner and I yesterday! We sourced her from The Hull Animal Welfare Trust in South Cave after seeing her adorable face from a distance on their website! I'd been specifically looking for a brindle Tortie (dark tortie with no white) and after 6 weeks of searching, it seemed I would have to wait for ever! But she was waiting for me secretly with her sis and after playing with them in their pen, I knew I had to try and give them a home! It was a very stressful week for me after that decision, as I couldn't reserve them til i'd had a successful home check and i was just so worried someone else would take them! But now they're here with us its so great! We refer to them as the kitts (kids) and so far Pixie has taken the lead over her sister in dominance and confidence, which is strange as she is smaller but she was first out of the cage to explore and her sister has been following her and imatating her ever since!
Bio: Her mum is a black kit called Pascal who lost her home when her owner didn't want a pregnant puss! :(
Pixie looks set to be a very pretty Brindle Tortie cat! Lovely adorable face!

The Last Forum I Posted In: Hello everyone! Just found out I have passed my homecheck
I've Been On Catster Since:
So happy to tell everyone who's been following this tale that Pixie was released back to us yesterday at 4pm at a grand total cost of £268. She's sat with me as I write tucked up under my arm purring away and is more of a love bug than ever! We are keeping her in the cosy front room with everything she needs and she's very comfortable getting lots of rest and eating bic's like there's no tomorrow! Seriously if anything i'm a little worried she's lost her ability to know when to stop! But I think the pet hospital staff have been trying to offer her wet cat food when she will only eat bic's! (She's now rolling over my laptop trying to be centre of attention with her belly exposed!) She's drinking tons of water too which is good, is her old self grooming, licking me all over the place much to my dismay at that rough tongue!
Her sister Firefly is non to happy that she's returned actually! I think it may be the smell of the hospital on her but Fire just hisses when she attempts to say hello with a nose touch and then grumbles away with big black pupils. She's getting a bit better though this evening and then both sat and ate some bics together tonight. Still keeping them in seperate rooms when we're not around as don't want any fights to upset Pic.
Thinking about sectioning off our yard with anti climb fencing at some point before we let them back out. Definitely no collars from now on and need to write a letter to the guy with the barbed wore in his garden that caused this distress. Went into his shop yesterday to give a peace of my mind but he had customers coming in and just ignored me so I had to leave. Its winter now anyway and don't see myself wanting to let them out in this horrible weather we've been having anyway. Maybe they are too young as well to be dealing with inner city walls, crevices and such hazards.
Will continue thinking what to do but must go now as I have an upside down kitt on my knee making it difficult to type!
Horray for Pixie, our little surviver! 7 lives left!
Was allowed to visit my Piccy today at 4.30pm in pet hospital. She was being well looked after in a kennel with a towel over the window as she was scared by a yapping dog, poor thing! Signs of progress include: She's been grooming herself, she's been drinking water and eating a bit of chicken, she miaowed when she saw me and it sounded normal not raspy, she sniffed me and recognised me, she came up to me in the cage and tried batting her water bowl out of the way! Typical Pixie behaviour! I was soooooo relieved after having an awful day of not knowing! Its now costing £40 a day to keep her in and the bill is currently £206 so I'm relieved its not £176 a day, which it was for yesterday as was Sunday rates! I think she's a fighting! Her sister Firefly isn't that bothered she's gone and is enjoying the extra fuss! Get another call from vets in morning. Think she'll be in for another couple of days though but just want her to get better. Thinking of you Piccy as always! Mum x
Got a call from vets this morning saying Pixie needs to be kept in for at least another day. Cost already £170 and now another amount similar a day! I have some savings for a kitchen but i'm going to have to use them on her but theres no way of knowing if after it all she'll fully recover. She was dead after all before my Iain brought her back to life. It's not sinking in and I feel sick with worry. I love this kitty so much! I could just kick myself for not getting pet insurance!
Her condition is her breathing, which is varying between 45 and 75 breaths a minute. They are giving her diuretics and antibiotics and she will need another xray later and then there's care. They won't let me see her as they say the surgery is busy but I need to see how she is.
Don't know whether to write to manufacturer about her break away collar not working or ask the animal welfare place I got her from for help with payment of vets bills. Her collar was by ANCOL and was their kitten elasticated collar in purple. Please if anyone has an advice for me. let me know? Thanks
