Hey guys,
So here he is... Edgar.

Currently have a doze at my feet.

Yesterday, my best friend and I travelled to his breeders.
As some of you know, I had the hard decision of choosing between the kitten I'd originally put a deposit down for or this little guy. Once I got there I was able to see the difference between the kittens. Original Edgar is very small and behind the litter in most areas. He snuggled my friend the majority of the time - so cute.
But, I also met my little black tabby! He's a right beaut.
Edgar had some cuddles, but was also running about with the other kittens, the breeders dog and playing with their children.

There's my friend with both kittens and mummy cat.

I hope that with time, original Edgar will grow into the awesome Sphynx cat he's bound to be. My gut told me to go with now Edgar though!

I couldn't be happier!

On the journey home he sat with my friend for the majority of it, on his shoulder, taking in the scenery. He seemed really content.
For a brief period he became unsettled, meowing lots and trying to walk about all I've the car.. turns out he needed a mega poo.
My friend caught the first bit in a sandwich box the rest he deposited all over my coat in the back!
After that, he returned to the shoulder.

I stopped off at the pet shop on the way home and bought him a cat tree.
Here he is snuggling on my lap whilst my friend carried the box from the shop!

Once home, we got him as settled as possible. Lots of cuddles from my friend and I.
The children came home that evening and were so pleased to finally see the cat we'd been hoping for for so long.

He's met our dog Albert too...... he's not so keen on him. Albert was a bit excited the first time, but has since not really been bothered by him. Edgar keeps spitting, growling and hissing at him. Slowly, his confidence has built as earlier I'd left him on his tree for a second (I could see him!) he'd then got down into the hallway where the dog was - so he was quite close to him. Had a good whinge and took himself upstairs! Hehe.
I keep supervising their sightings of one another. He's slowly getting closer to the dog (who doesn't give a monkeys about Edgar being there, haha) so hopefully in time it'll all work out!

Pooped after a busy day....!

I need to catch up with all the post all over the forum. Been neglecting it a little. Steven is amazing, he settled in very quickly currently asleep on my lap under a blanket. He's just too sweet and steals everyone's hearts in seconds.
Hope it all goes well for Edgar and he'll settle in in no time.

Oh just the post I have been waiting for! So happy you followed your gut. Some times journeys are not what we expect, but I again must say kudos to your breeder and her vet for being honest and straight forward. I hope the original Edgar just needed extra time and will be blessed in a loving home and a new name/start. But right now, it is awesome you are celebrating your Edgar...the cutie with the great stripes! Congratulations your life has officially changed forever. He was meant to be yours...he is yours.

Congrats on Edgar. Goodness but he has a beautiful pattern/colouring. I love his ears and tail the most, but seeing the stripes along his legs is great too. He's going to be soooo handsome as he grows older.

Thank you for regaling us with your Gotcha Day. It sounds wonderful, despite the poop deposit (when you gotta go...).

Please post more pics and stories when you can. Right now I know it's all about Edgar!

Yeah!!! Soooo happy to finally meet Edgar! It was definitely meant to be! Just like when we went to meet Buck the first time and ended up falling in love with the "real" Buck! I'm so very happy for you! Enjoy your time getting Edgar all settled! And share, share, share when you have the time!!!:love::love::love:

Edgar is one amazingly handsome little guy. So cute. I am so happy that you made the choice to take this guy home. They say everything happens for a reason and in this case I really believe that as you seem very happy with new Edgar and dang he is just so cute I think I might have some Sphynx envy. lol

@sphynxmoms - he's not really showing any signs of change at the moment!

That's brilliant news about Thursday :) i'm so excited for you!! Can't wait to see the post and hear all about it!

Here's one from this evening...
I walked in to my daughters room to find she'd put her fur collar from her leather jacket round him so he looked like a lion. So so cute

@Draculaura So sorry he is not feeling better! Does any of the other babies from that litter have issues that you know of? Sad that you chose this one to avoid health issues and he's starting out with them anyway. I hope that lil love feels better SOON!!!
That will make a purrrrr-fect Halloween costume! Your daughter looks sooo happy! What a cutie pie!;):)

2 more days!!!!:p:D

@Draculaura Edgar is adorable. I know that situation. I went to a breeder to meet a kitten after my first spyhnx had passed away. We ended up leaving with Brienne an adult female retired breeder. Definitely not what we were expecting! Glad Edgar is fitting in well.
