Welcome to Kitten Kaboodle UK: 
A Journey with Rescued Cats

Hello, fellow cat lovers!

Welcome to Kitten Kaboodle, a cosy corner of the internet dedicated to celebrating the joys and challenges of life with rescued cats. Our names are Paul and Charlotte, and we are thrilled to share our passion for feline friends with you. Over the years, we have had the privilege of rescuing, fostering, and rehoming many cats, and today, I'd like to introduce you to my current furry companions: Billy, Leela, and our newest member, Kaboodle.

Meet the Feline Family

Leela: The Wise Elder


Leela is a 14-year-old Black British Shorthair rescue. She may be the elder of the group, but she has a unique charm all her own. With her sleek black coat and piercing green eyes, Leela exudes a slightly eccentric regal presence. Despite her age, she remains shy and subservient to Billy, often following his lead. Leela is known for her adorable squeak rather than a typical meow, and she sports a round belly that adds to her endearing character (though she isn’t overweight). Leela’s quirky and gentle nature makes her a cherished member of our family.


Billy: The Gentle Giant

Billy, our 12-year-old Black and White British Shorthair, is the gentle giant of the family. Despite his size, he's incredibly gentle and loves nothing more than a sleeping in the sunniest of spots. Billy has a playful side too, often engaging in soft, paw-batting games with Leela or chasing his favourite feather toy. His black and white fur gives him a distinguished look, making him the perfect gentleman of the household.


Kaboodle: The Spirited Kitten

And then there’s Kaboodle, our 6-month-old Sphynx kitten with a beautiful brown 'seal-point' colouring. Kaboodle is the lively spark in our home, bringing energy and excitement to every corner he explores. As the namesake of our venture, Kaboodle represents the playful, curious, and loving spirit that all cats possess. His antics and affectionate nature make him the perfect ambassador for our mission to highlight the joys of rescuing and caring for cats.

Cats Playing Fetch? You Bet They Can!

Pic by Hanna, Pexels It's a common misconception that fetch is a game exclusively for our canine companions. But here at Kitten Kaboodle, we know better! Any cat lover who's spent time with these fascinating felines will tell you: many cats love a good game of fetch. And if you haven't experienced this joy yet, you're in for a treat! The Science Behind the Fun A recent study published in the journal Animal Cognition (Saito et al., 2023) revealed some surprising findings. It turns out that over 41% of cats engage in fetch-like behaviour! This dispels the myth that cats are solely solitary creatures, uninterested in interactive play with their humans. The research indicates that cats, just like dogs, can find joy and satisfaction in retrieving objects. So, what's the motivation behind this behaviour? Well, it seems to be a combination of factors. For some cats, it's the thrill of the chase. They love the anticipation of watching their favourite toy sail ...

Respect Your Cat Day

Apparently, on March 28th 1384, King Richard II issued a royal decree banning the eating of cats in England. Whether the edict was real or just a historical whisper passed down over time, the fact that it needed saying at all is mind-blowing. I’ll be honest—when I first heard that people used to eat cats, I was completely horrified! 😱 The idea that, once upon a time, cats weren’t respected or even seen as pets, but as food, is awful.  While it’s difficult to know how widespread cat consumption really was in medieval Europe, there are scattered historical records suggesting that in times of famine or poverty, cats (and dogs) were sadly sometimes eaten. Pic: Pixabay But maybe that’s exactly why March 28th  became Respect Your Cat Day —a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come in our relationship with these incredible creatures… and how much they deserve our care, protection, and respect. So What Is Respect Your Cat Day? Pic: Maxima This isn’t just a day for giving...
