Smokey looks beautiful and is lucky to land on her feet.  The previous owners shouldn't be allowed to own any pets, disgraceful.  Well done you.

I thought she looked like quite a youngster still. I'm glad you and she found each other, it sounds odd the owners didn't want her any more as they decided on staffies.

This is Smokey. I rescued her as a kitten from a busy road and had her since.  First cat we've had and didn't realise the pleasure they got from sticking their claws in to a soft leather couch!

 
Human knees make a good substitute, come for free and they heal too!

I'm thankful ours doesn't fancy our new leather couch so we've left her favourite old fabric armchair to claw up. Better that than a fresh piece of furniture.

Smokey looks a real terror

Our sofa shows the scars of Mili from when she was young and could not go outside
And the curtains- she liked to run up them    And as for hubbys legs, it is a surprise he hasn´t been scarred for life he had so many cuts from when Mili ran up his legs..... of and tshirts- she liked to rip them too

Smokey is gorgeous

What a lovely cat Smokie is

IMHO cat owners and staffie owners are a different set of people.

not always Goosegirl as I have a Newfoundland x, a Neapolitan Mastiff, a Staffie and a cat, plus I know of lots of Staffie owners with cats

I agree. Cats aren't always fussy what sort of dog their chosen servants happen to own.

I apologise - it was a stupid thing to say  , and I like Trillium's comment, particularly the "servant's" comment!   

[joyfull]

no offence taken but just needed to point out that not all Staffie owners are mindless thugs

Youngest boyfriend has a Staffie, she's gorgeous, gentle and loves cuddles :happy: Pip thinks she's rather lovely too

Sadly some are. My pal works for the RSPCA told me there are 'trainers' who turn the breed into vicious dangerous dogs. He has the horrid job of deciding if they can be rehabilitated or ... Apparently they're trained to attack on keywords.

I'm a bit nervy about dogs (been attacked a couple of times) and a friend had a staffie who was the most gentle and loving dog you could meet. She even shielded me from their other dog who was a bit of a bounce around.
