That's how I got the one currently sleeping on my lap: he came, nobody claimed him, I feed him, he stayedOf course, I should say, if it was me that would now be my cat

You need a mad cat lady like @Pat "5mph" to give advice, as I only have a dog.
Awww, how did I not get this alert, @SatNavSaysStraightOn must be well in her bed by now!
But of course you can, I'm taking mine with me if I get Brexited
I was gonna say, he's around 6 months, not a kitten.
Exactly! You have been catified! You are the chosen one!
Absolutely.
Erm ... he will sleep in your bed of course, you don't have to do anything.
You'll be all right, I often share with BigCat, never got any stomach bugs or anything.
The wee soul loves you, get him to a vet, if microchipped does not mean the actual owners are not dead or moved away - but I think he got dumped - get him the snip, start looking at videos on YouTube on how to make cat trees, I just reupholstered one I found dumped, tree that is, not cat.
Don't forget annual vaccination, monthly flea treatment, trimonthly worm tablet.
Say hi to Cycle Ch(a)t from us, let's call him CC for short
Yep, he'd be mine by now too but I'm sure a cat cannot be kept there (It's in the lease) so a bit of a non-starter.
There is a way to keep indoor cats though (My Kissa was a 'Flat Cat' until I moved here) but their claws need to be clipped weekly, it's a lot like cutting our nails in that the end is dead (white) but the pink bit will hurt if you cut into that. You only need to take off the very tip of the claw (1-2mm) and cut it square across to stop them 'stropping' their claws and wrecking stuff.

It did indeed sleep the night in our bed. Luckily our bed is a king sized one. Initially it was on my legs then at 3am when i needed a call of nature it moved (on its return) to between my husband and I. Eggs and veg soup for breakfast this morning again went down very quickly. Then the final act, it found its own litter tray, our fire ash! This that is where it went in the night because there is no mess anywhere. So we know she is not feral, she's probably dumped and she's not the runt of the litter either.
Sadly it does indeed look like a dumped animal and tenancy specifically states no cats and I would never try to keep a cat inside, though my mother had had 2 that were rescue animals and had never known the outside. Right now this little sole doesn't want to go out either!
We'll speak with the local vets shortly.

She wasn't chipped as expected. Vets have put her at 4-5 months old. One of the receptionists is taking her home for the weekend to see if she gets on with her existing 6 month old kitten. If she does, which we expect she will, she'll keep her but they will let us know on Monday what the outcome is.
Both of us are in tears over this one.
she had the most wonderful temperament and is really cute!

This thread must have inspired me , we have been on about getting a cat for a while so it was off to the rspca today and we picked a black and white kitten who will be called poppy , or as i call her "stuffing ".
No pictures atm as the website has no picture , im guessing they took it down when we picked her.
