Hi Ney Ney,

This is what I think. Usually people who love animals love children (no matter what they say). I think we are all 'designed' to love and nurture for other creatures and some of us have more love to give than others. I don't think your love and affection for your fur babies are in place of a baby ... I think they are as well as, but for now you are only able to express that affection for your pets. The fact that you are TTC is making you think if you are using your little critters as surrogates for a bubba, but that's not really the case at all. You will be just as mushy and loving to your pets when you have children ...

I have noticed myself carrying my little kittens/cats around like they are little children and every morning I carry my new little kitty around on my shoulder patting her back as if I am winding her. She loves it, makes herself all floppy and purrs like a tractor. My last cat was exactly the same and they both followed/follow me from room to room. I refer to myself as 'mummy' to the cat and it's only because we are TTC that this strikes a chord in my brain every now and then to make me wonder if I'm a loolah.

However, I know deep down that it's just because I'm soft about animals and his has nothing to do with a replacement for a baby.

I can't see the photos of your kittens Ney Ney. I wonder why?

I've noticed this on a few threads that there is a mention of pictures but I can't see them or even a link to them. Any ideas anyone?

See next post (this one was duplicated).

Here's a photo of my little kitten Sophie that my husband took in his studio. He blanked out the string the mouse is on for effect.

Oh, Ney Ney, beckic and Tishi your furbabies are gorgeous! I soooo want some animals but we live in flats and there is no cat flap on door and to have dog would be cruel as we are both out all day, plus we thinking to move to abroad! Hopefully in the future we will be able to have some cos I love dogs, grew up with them had three poodles-Cindy(brown miniture), Leo(apricot toy) and Bella(black toy) all beautiful dogs!

Ney Ney I don't think they are yr surrogate children, as others have said you just have alot of love to give and you know what even if they were for this purpose, who cares-yr just giving them the love and care that they deserve!

Your cat is gorgouse Tish! What a beautiful photo - I hope you have that one framed!

Re not seeing photos - I know that Wishing4ababy never gets to see the pics either, when she is using her work computer. The company she works for have disabled certain bits and bobs from showing (no doubt in an effort to get people to do more work!:lol). Are you using your own home computer or one elsewhere? xxx

All these fur babies make me want one even more! OH says no though. Last time i asked him for a dogley he came home with 2 goldfish. I wasn't impressed!

 

[Tishimouse]

Oh Magic, I can't believe you just asked about having the photo framed.

My husband has literally just come home and presented me with a framed picture of my kitten. He chose this one:

Re: My computer and seeing photos. I don't really understand it as I am using my home one and see nearly everyones. It's just the odd post where I can't even see a link. I'm changing over my computer to a new one at the end of September, so will see if that makes a difference.

Neyney, Tish your kitties are gorgeous

Mine also get carried round like babies, they love it!

 

[pink_glitter]

Hummmmm i had my lil Boxer dog way before TTC. I do treat him like a baby and to be honest if i didnt have him right now after TTC for nearly 2 years i would be in a worst place than i am now....but he takes my mind of TTC as he takes up so much of my time.

So i guess in a way he does fill that part of me which is missing and i dont really care when people laugh at me for treating him like a baby coz he is my little furbaby and i wouldnt be without him!

 

[NeyNey]

Oh Tish, Sophie is just adorable!! I need to book your DH for a photoshoot! lol

I don't know why you can't see the pictures...
But their direct link to the album is here:

I do agree with you girls Thanks for putting my mind at ease

 

[Tishimouse]

Oh wow! They are truly amazing. Don't they look big too, really full, rich lustrous coats and beautiful colouring. I wondered what ragdolls looked like when you referred to them and now I know.

Beautiful!
