Thought it was about time I posted up some photos of our newest furry family members. They are absolute superstars as are our existing animals. Pamela, the (slightly autistic) oldest cat, usually takes to hiding under the bed when anything different happens, only emerging to piss on our shoes and bags. She hasn't been under the bed at all and has been doing lots of kitten face-sniffing with only a few growls when they over-step the mark. William, the Jack Russell, has been so sensitive around them. They are really quite freaked by him so he lies down whenever they come near him and lets them sniff at their leisure. Smudge, our youngest cat (18 months) is having a bit of a tough time. We had expected him to be the most welcoming, being a male (kittens are female) and being rather young. He is rather devastated as it happens. He is terrified by them, despite being about 3x the size, and I think a little put out that he is no longer the baby. He's still doing amazingly well though and has been doing little bits of face sniffing here and there.
Here's the bold adventurer, TigerLily. She is pretty much fearless, apart from when she's around the dog. Such a beautiful coat - perfect ginger tabby markings overlayed with black splodges.
This is Little Bee. Not quite so bold as her sister but incredibly affectionate. Loves face fuss and likes snuggling up for a cuddle. More black and white than tabby but still gorgeous.
Just putting this one in for scale - Smudge and Little Bee eating together. He's an absolute monster by comparison. He wasn't much bigger than them this time last year.
We're hypothesising that Daddy was a ginger tabby and Mummy was black and white. They are a perfect mix of both.
Sorry pics are a bit blurry, mob phone clearly still a bit toilety. Humph!
